her share OF the wealthy mans liberal

doing away with babies born under
peculiar circumstances but as in th'
case Of the young woman who died IN
Connecticut. other women, Mr. Howe
says, never recovered from treatmen

not call the killings crime knowing tina

According to statements in the posses

that she herself had cremated Gulder
suppes clothes after the murder. a
except the shoes. She must have bee
skilled In the art OF cremation OF II
kind she practiced. or she would nev'
have known enough TO scrape the ash'
out Of the stove TO make sure that Il
buttons on the murdered mans clothif
were entirely consumed
"Apropos OF all this cremating, IL
lust possible-mark you, / say poss
ble-that Guldensuppe's head was cr
mated instead Of having been dropp'
overheard, as has been so frequent
stated"
