WIFE MURDERER HANGED.
Michael Emil Rollinger Pays the Penalty
on the Gallows for His Crime
His Sons Evidence.

Chicago, Nov. 1s.--Michael Emil
Rollinger was hanged here Friday for
the murder Of his wife, Theresa, at
their home in this city December is,
1898. The manner in which he is said
to have disposed Of his wife was first
by choking her and then building a
fire with some furniture and placing
the body on it, Suspicion was aroused
by his actions and an investigation by
the police resulted in his arrest for
murder. The motive for his crime, 1t
is said, was the love Of Lena Hecker,
a woman who sailed from the same
country (Austria) as Rollinger. 1t is
supposed that he killed his wife In
order, that he might marry the girl
One Of the chief witnesses against him
was his ll-year-old sou, who declared

A DARING ROBBERY.

II li $4,000 Cash.

Joplin, Mo-, Nov Is. Carl Junction,
little town ten miles north of this
city, was the scene of a most daring bank
robbery yesterday morning at three
o'clock. -Four heavily-armed men broke
into the bank building and blew open
the safe with dynamite and secured
cash between the amount of 81, 900 and
$4,000. The robbers started on foot,
after securing the booty, toward this
city.
In a few minutes citizens gave the
alarm, and ii. r. Chitwood and three
men secured weapons and started in
pursuit. The robbers were about 80
minutes ahead and when within four
miles of this city made for the heavy
timber in Central creek bottoms
They were plainly, seen. There were
four in the gang. Several shots were
exchanged, but none took effect The

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.


Dexter, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-Much mystery
surrounds the death Of Rev. Jesse
Moore, the Methodist minister who
was s.ssassinated Yesterday at his home
near Pyle, six miles from Dexter. So
far as known the deceased minister
had no enemies and was universally
loved and respected.
Although three sons slept in the same
room with their father, all the mem
bers Of the family declare they heard
nothing Of the shot. A shotgun was
found on a rack on the rear porch,
with one barrel empty, showing that
1t recently had been discharged. Be-
fore the coroner, Elijah, the Oldest son,
testified that last week his father loaned
the gun to a neighbor, whom he wit
ness) did not know. Elijah says he be-
lieves that this unknown neighbor last
night returned with the gun, killed his
father and placed the weapon in the
rack.
The jury rendered verdict that the
minister came to his death at the hands
Of some unknown assassin. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Farris and Sheriff Evans,
however, decided to arrest Elijah Moore,
and he is now in Jail at Bloomfield.
The young man vigorously processes
his innocence. l
One OF the panes in the window OF
the room in which Rev. and Mrs.
Moore slept was removed, but as there
was bed between his couch and the
window, and as his face and neck we're
powder burned, the officials think that
the shot was fred from within the
room. One neighbor testified that
Elijah and his father frequently quar-.
relied and that the boy threatened to
leave home.
Repeated questioning failed to bring
an admission from any Of the family
that they heard the report Of gun.
Neighbors aver that Elijah is a model
boy, hard working and industrious
and several who have known him in
timately scoff at the idea that he could
be guilty Of such an atrocious crime.
The murder has caused great excite
ment in the community and the death

Parker, Kan, Nov. S.-Two men en-.
tered the Parker state bank by means
Of skeleton keys about two o'clock a. m.
Friday and reached the bed OF Cash
Ter Slaughter, who was sleeping in
the bank, without arousing him.
When he awoke he was immedi-
ately covered with q revolver by one
Of the men while the other blindfolded
him. Mr.. Slaughter was then taken
to the safe and told II he did not open
it in three minutes they would bind
him on the top Of 1t and then blow 1t up,
He told them that he would open it If
he could, but 1t was a time lock and
could not be opened until seven o'clock
this morning. After examining the
safe and finding this to be true they
took Mr.. Slaughter into another room,
bound and gagged him. Then they
blew the safe open and secured about

A FAMILY TRAGEDY.
Cornelius Corcoran Carries Out 4
Murderous Plan.
he SHOOTS FOUR OF HIS CHILDREN.
The Man Then Commits snicide--Previous
Attempt Made tO Poison Them-A
Conviction That the MUIR
derer Was Insane.

Cnlcag0. NOV. lo.--Carrylng out
plot he had apparently planned with
deliberation, Cornelius Corcoran yes.
terday shot four Of his children, killing
two Of them and then ended his own
life. The tragedy occurred at his
home. 54Ol Dearborn street. The police
are convinced that the man was insane.
Corcoran had lived with his seven chill.
dren in fat building for a month
past. To all outward appearances he
was kind and considerate. For some
days he had plotted for the death Of
his children and he nearly accomplished
his purpose Tuesday night. Hearing
the children cough he arose and in the
dark administered laudanum to five OF
them, Clifford, Timothy, John, Mar
garet and Lizzie. The first two were
removed to the Mercy hospital where
Timothy died yesterday and Corcoran
exhibited such profound grief over the
affair that the police and the coroner
thought the giving Of laudanum was a
mistake.
Baked in his purpose to end the
lives Of the young ones. Corcoran, it is
thought, made desperate plans for his
act OF yesterday. About ten o'clock
the grandmother Of the children, Mrs.
Margaret Wren, accompanied by her
niece, Mrs. Mamie Corbett, called at
the Corcoran home. When they rang
the bell, Corcoran called "Who is
there" 'It's Mamie and your mother"
replied Mrs. Corbett.
Corcoran thrust his head out Of the
door disclosing the fact that he was
attired in his night gown and closed
the door again, saying: "Wait just
minute, Mamie" The two women
opened the door and stepped into the
hallway, just then three shots were
heard, followed by succession Of
screams.
In the panic the two women darted
out the doorway and ran down the
street screaming at the top OF their
voices. cts murder, it's murder" "
shouted Mrs. Corbett frantically, and
hurrying to an adjacent drug store
word was sent to the Fifth street sand
Hyde park police station. An appall-
ing sight greeted the eyes OF Lieut..
Clancey, SerTt, Ryan and other officers
when they entered the Corcoran fat. In
the first bedroom, just off the parlor,
was the body Of Margaret, lying in
mass Of blood at the head of the bed,
while at the foot lay John, uncon-
scious and breathing heavily. In the
room to the rear Corcoran's dead body
was found on the floor, while that OF
the baby, Lizzie, reclined on a pillow.
A revolver lay near Corcoran's right
hand. Five Of the chambers were
empty.
Every one Of the wounds, with the
exception Of Kate's was behind the
ear. Kate was shot in the left temple.
The police removed Kate and John to
the Mercy hospital and later the baby,
Lizzie, who was still breathing, was
taken there. John died within half
hour after his arrival at the hospital
