Charles Effander, a Drunken
Brewer, Brutally Assaulted
Crippled Woman.
NEIGHB0RS COME TO RESCUE.
Offender Sentenced to Workhouse,
Secures Appeal Bond, Goes
to Deserted Home and
Kills Himself.

Charles Effander, who was given a Work
house sentence in the Police Court yester-
day morning. for beating his crippled wife.
committed suicide yesterday afternoon.
Efhander was a brewer and lived with
his wife at No. 30 Victor street. Saturday
evening he went home under the influence
OF liquor and began 10 beat his wife be-
cause she had not prepared supper for him.
She Is. crippled and was not able to defend
herself. Mrs. Josie Kulgman. who lives in
an adjoining house. was with Mrs. Ethan
der when her husband came in. IN seeing
the brewer SO brutally bea. his wife, she
ran for her husband. who came to restrain
Efhander. This made Eflander angry and
he started in to beat Klugman. While the
fight was on a policeman came and locked
Efflander UP.
Tired from her long Journey. and with
baGdaged face, Mrs. Efaander hobbled on
crutches into the First District Police
Court yesterday morning to prosecute her
husband. When Judge Sidener had heard
the evidence, he asked her If she wanted
him to send her husband to the Workhouse.
She replied that she did not care what was
done with him. so that he did not come
around to beat her any more. Judge Sidener
imposed a fine of SIS, sufficient to keep
him in prison for three months. and Ethan
der was led back to the cage.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon EfAander
sent word to a salOonkeeper across the
street that he wanted 10 take an appeal and
asked the saloonkeeper to go on his bond.
1t was arranged. but he did not have the
money TO pay for the bond or to pay the
clerk. Simon Lears offered to put up the
money and Effander to his
home, where it should be returned 10 him.
That was exactly what Effidnder wanted.
When he reached his house he told Lears
to Hait for a few minutes on the outside
while he crawled through a window TO his
room. He searched the house, but his wife
was gone. Then. going TO his dresser. he
took out his razor, severed the artery in
each wrist and then sawed away at his
throat until he tainted.
All this time LearS waited on the outside
for him to reappear. When he thought
Efaauder had been gone long enough, he
went to the window and looked IN. A horri-
Die sight met his gaze. Efilander was lying
In the corner, covered with blood. He was
dead before an ambulance could be called.

stop. This was quickly done, and the en-
gineer. William Whit-ock, and Frank CAL
houn. the foreman of the crew, rushed to
the spot where Beard had fallen. They
found him unconscious beside the track.
He was soon revived after being taken
home.
Beard said yesterday that he believed the
car on which he was standing must have
thrown the switch with the flange OF the
wheel. This caused the last ear TO take the
switch, drawing out the coupling.
Il was afraid that the last car was about
to fall over" he said, and / just gave q
leap. The fact that the car In front was
higher saved me from falling fiat on my
stomach when / went between the cars. I
saw everything Imaginable during the brief,
time of the descent through the air. When
l realized how narrow an escape i had had
1 wilted. l was as weak as a cat"
Beard has been ~railroading for twelve
years and has been with the Burlington
about a year and a half. He is married
and has three children.

turbed on That Account.

week at his home In Kirkwood. are greatly
perturbed over the mysterious disappear
ance Of his will. The document was ex-

tiently waiting for the return Of Judge
