Deathbed Confession Clears Up =
killing q 1wenty Years Ago.
From the &, Louis Republic: Twen-
ty years ago Rudolph Popke was found
dead on West avenue, with his head
split open. A sharp stump near by
and an icy sidewalk gave the theory of
a fall. so the coroner's jury returned a
verdict of accidental death. To-Day L.
II. Muckensturn, well-to-do anch-
man OF Montana, who is here visiting
relatives, related a story, the SUBJ
stance of which follows: Muckensturn
had for a neighbor a man who went
by the name of Long. He was well-to-
do and had family of six children
and was we'll thought of. One day
mule kicked him in the face, from the
result OF which he died. Before death
Long sent for Muckensturn and told
MIN that about twenty years ago he
was living in Burlington under the
name OF Lingren, but his real name
was johnson. One Saturday night he
was returning from a dance with a
young woman and they met stranger
on West avenue, who appeared to be
intoxicated. The man offered an in
sult1ng remark to the young woman
and Long struck him singing blow
IN the face, knocking him down and
causing him to strike his head on a
sharp stump. The man lay still and
Long and the girl, supposing him to
be merely senseless, hurried on. The
next day Long learned the man was
dead and that his name was Popke.
IN day or two Long packed up and,
having sworn the girl to secrecy, left
for Montana. The girl still lives in
Burlington, but her identity cannot be
traced now, as Long did not give her
name. Long said he had no intention
OF killing the man, but only to chas-
tise him for the insult to the young
woman. The circumstances of the
finding Of the body of Popke are well
known to older Burlington people.
