A MISSOURI SENSATION.
Did Mrs. Nesenhener Kill Her Hus-
band and Three Children
at Hannibal1
HAS BEEN INDICTED AND ARRESTED.
She is Accused of Killing Her Hus-
band by Administering Morphine
The Indictment Based on Testi-
mOny Taken Before the COro-
ner's Jury in July Last.

Hannibal, Mo-, Oct. Awhile rock
ing her baby to sleep Mrs. Alice Ne
senhener listened to the reading of
an indictment charging her with the
murder of her husband, Frank Nesen-
hener, whose death occurred suddenly
on July Is last, at his home in this
city. AS the deputy sheriff concluded
Mrs. Nesenhener looked up at him and
calmly remarked. VERY well, will
go with you; / am innocent and have
nothing to fear"
There was not culver in her voice
and not a tear in her eye, but an UNI
mistakable expression of self-conti-
dence and determination.
With her 16-month-old child on her
arm, she accompanied the officer to
the courthouse. There were no good
by or well wishes from the neighbors.
Their murmurings had arraigned Mrs.
Nesenhener bitterly against them,
and she returned their curious gaze
with scorn.
Was 1t Done for Insurance Money!
In the indictment returned by the
grand jury Mrs. Nesenhener is ac-
cused of having killed her husband by
means of morphine. The indictment
was based upon the testimony taken
before the coroner's jury, in which it
is alleged that three of Mrs. Nesen-
hener's children died under mysteri-
Gus circumstances three years ago
within a month, and in each instance
following but brief illness. Mary,
Emma and Ida Nesenhener, aged re-
spectively three, five and eleven years,
passed away. There was small in
surance on the lives of Ida and En-
ma, made payable to their mother.
Frank Nesenhener belonged to the
Ancient Order of Pyramids, in which
he was insured for $500. In addition
he carried $3.50 insurance in the re-
lief department of the Burlington
Railroad Co. Mrs. Nesenhener told
the coroner that she paid the pre-
MUM on all the policies.
Both the dead man and his widow
were born and reared in Hannibal.
Nesenhener was SO years of age, the
woman now behind prison bars on
suspicion of taking his life was six
years her husbands senior. They had
been married IS years.
