FOR ANOTHER.S. CRIME,
Ferdinand Knack Serving a Life
Sentence May be Innocent.
CONFESSION OF MURDER
Letter Received at Wautoma Admit
ting Guilt in the Waushara Coun-
ty Poisoning Case.

Wautoma, Wis, July 21.-[Special J.
John Clark, clerk of the circuit court Of
Waushara county, received a letter this
week, written in German, from a party
living in the northern part Of this state
and the contents on being translated
proved to be written by one whose con-
science troubled him for crime COM
mitted about ten years ago in Waushara
county, for which one Ferdinand Knaack
is now serving a life sentence in the
state prison.
Ferdinand knaack was convicted at
the September term of the circuit court
Of WauShara county in 1889 for poison
ing his wife. Knaack's tria! was a noted
one and created intense interest through
out this section. Shortly after the deed
was committed he was arrested at Kau-
kauna and brought to this village by the
authorities. kDaack was married to the
woman he was suspected of having poi
s0ned about one month after burying
bis first wife, who died under suspicious
circumstances. At the trial chemists
who analysed the stomach found Strych-
nine in sufficient quantities to produce
1eath and Waupaca druggists identified
hnaack as the person to whom the drug
had been sold to a short time before the
WOman's death
The party writing the letter claims
that he was in love with Knaacks' wife
before she married him and when he
was discarded for another, swore re-
yenge and went to her residence in
Sprlngwater and, pretending to be on
friendly terms, as of old, gave her some
candy of which she ate and which he
claims caused her death as it was poi
Soned
The authorities are now investigating
the matter and the outcome may be that
an innocent man will be shown to be
serving life sentence for another man's
crime. People here are little in doubt
and do not place much credence in the
lpttnr
