An Effort to End Her
Life Is Frustrated
BY TIMELY DISCOVERY
Love Affair Supposed to be the
Cause Of Her Dependency
--Actions Were Sus-
picious.

Hattie Schreffler. q young woman
employed as a domestic at the resi-
dence of H. H. Ink, at 937 North Wal
nut street, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to commit suicide Thursday
evening by taking laudanum. Timely
discovery and medical assistance,
promptly rendered. prevented her
death, as she had taken sufficiently
large amount of the poison to have re-
suited fatally IL remedies had not been
promptly applied.
Miss Schreffler has been employed at
the Ink residence only about a week.
Her home is with her parents on Ma
varre street near the lumber yard.
During the past few days she seemed
very moody and Respondent but had
given no indication that she contem-
plated the act. Thursday evening she
was out and returned about o'clock,
going to her room Immediately. Some
thing in her actions aroused the sus-
picions of members of the household
and Mrs. Ink went to the room and
found her lying in comatose condi-
ton. DR.. r. A. Biechele was at once
called and detected indications of OPT
um poisoning. For awhile it was
thought that she could not be revived
but was finally restored to consciousness
Friday morning she was considered out
,of danger and was able to be removed
to her home.
The family with whom she was en-
ployed know very little of her or of any
motive she might have had for her act
and prior to her coming to live with
them a week ago did not know her at
all. To DIR. Biechele she intimated that
quarrel with her lover was the
reason and she also intimated her rela-
tions at her home had not been of the
happiest. Her father who was called
and remained with her during the might
would not assign any cause. She did
not state to the physician the lover
with whom she had trouble and did not
give any connected account OF wha'
had led up to her act.
The amount of laudanum taken by the
girl was said by DR.. Biechele to bt
equivalent to dose of 20 grains o.
opium.

tanning several hundred thousand
dollars of the estate and
pocketed It. Then, Thatcher claimed,
he discovered Mr.. Mast's perfidy to the
other heirs, and. confronting him with
every evidence of the fact, forced Mast
to sign the note for 100000.
The prosecution asserted that the
claim was the result of conspiracy
to rob the dead mans estate. Testi-
mony was introduced In an attempt to
prove that Mast actually signed the
notes in question; that he had visited
spiritualistic mediums for guidance in
recovering the vast fortune and that
he had actually told some of the Mer-
Ger heirs that he had recovered $780,
900 of the estate.
The prosecution made hard effort to
break down this testimony and thought
they had succeeded, but the jury de-
cided otherwise.
Thatcher tainted when the verdict
came In.

So Says the Jury in the
Famous Assault Case.
FAMILY SKELETONS
Were Held Up For the Edifiea-
ton Of the Public--That
Old Divorce Peti-
tion.

The jury in the case of the state
against Fremont Bowman was con-
cluded in probate court Thursday
evening by the jury returning a verdict
of not guilty. The case occupied all
Of two days in the hearing, and it was
listened to with more than usual inter.
est by people from that neighborhood
and the court house lounger.
The prosecuting witness was Mrs.
Elizabeth Masters. She alleged and
testified to the fact that Bowman, in
1895, came frequently to their home
in Tuscarawas township. The boy
was then about II years of age. He
became too demonstratiye. she said,
following her about the house and fire.
quently laying hands on her. The par
ticular time that led to his arrest, it is
claimed he caught her and tore her
dress. The defense was that she had
encouraged the visits of the Bowman
children. until they fell out. and there
was nothing improper in their conduct
The husband of Mrs. Masters was
on the stand as witness and he told
that his wife had complained to him
of the annoyances that she had to
endure. He took occasion to insult
Bowman, he said, and he thought for
that reason he should have stayed
away. He did not come to the house
after that while he was there. He
dcnied being jealous of his wife. A
divorce petition that he had filed
against his wife some years ago was
shown him by Attorney Sterling. He
admitted that he had sworn to the pc.
tition. The only charge in 1t was
that his wife had left him and gone to
her fathers. He said he had visited
her frequently when he was not away
teaching school. The petition was
withdrawn before service was made
and the wife claims she never knew II
had been filed.
The assault complained of was said
to have taken place In 1898, and there
was at that time line fence fight
between the two families, it Is said
The two cases were supposed to have
been settled. but the assault case
broke out afresh after lying dormant
several years.
The costs In the case will be quite
heavy and 1t was generally said about
the court house that about all thai
was accomplished was the dragging

Four DEGREES Ora nted In
q Short Time Friday.
THE WIVES SET FREE
From the Calling Yoke Of Matri-
mony--Husba nds Did Not
Make Any Fight in
the Cases.

Friday morning Judge McCarty was
busy hearing divorce cases. While
the popular superstition prevents peo-
pie from getting married on the sixth
day of the week, there Is nothing in law
or precedent to keep the courts from an
nulling marriage contracts on that day.
Four cases were heard by his honir dur
ing the morning session, and in each
case decree was allowed. None of
them were Of sensational character
and in no case was there a contest. the
defendant either not caring to or
deeming 1t useless to make defense.
The first case was that of Carrie r..
Jack against Farrelly A. Jack. Alb
sence and gross neglect Of duty were
alleged and proven to the satisfaction
of the court and divorce was granted.
The plaintiff was represented by w. o.
Wernst. Jack had retained Miller &
Pomerene and promised to fight the
case. but apparently changed his mind.
Minnie Berlin, of Massillon, charged
that her husband had grossly neglect
ed his duties as husband, and as a re-
suit the court granted her divorce.
The husbands name is John Berlin.
Celia Bevington was granted di-
vorce from jeremiah Bevington anil
the wife also given the custody Of the
child and S25 month alimony. Her
charges that were sustained were gross
neglect of duty. Welty &Albaugh were
her attorneys.

were other charges of infidelity sus.
tained in the testimony. Mary got Q

When Second Marriage
Was Entered Into.
COURT APPEALED TO
To Set Aside the Pretend ded
Marriage--Woes Of q
Philippine Soldiers
Wife.

The case of Hattie Charleton against
Erwin Charleton came up for hearing
Just before the noon hour Friday In
Judge McCarty's court. 1t was not a
divorce proceeding. but an action
brought to annul pretended marriage
contract that had been entered into
tnnocently by the parties, but which
was not real marriage owing to the
fact that the wife had another husband
living at the time the second marriage
was consummated.
Z The history of the case is that Mrs.
Hattie Reffening had had some diff
Guilty with her husband and after they
had lived apart for about two months
the husband enlisted In the regular
army and went to the Philippines.
This was in 1899. She went to Alliance
and went into the home of Mrs. Char
Teton as a domestic. While there she
received word from a sister of her hus-
band that he had died in the hospital
in the Philippines. Some time after
this. a son of Mrs. Charleton, who Ia
the defendant in the case, commenced
paying attention to the supposed
widow. and some six months after the
receipt of the word Of the
DEATH OF THE SOLDIER.
Erwin Charleton and Mrs Reffenlng
were married. Some time after Their
marriage, another sister Of Reffentne
wrote to the woman who was then Mrs
Charleton announcing the fact that the
first husband had not died. but hat
recovered and had written home.
This announcement brought conster.
nation to the Charleton home. The
woman had unwittingly been guilty o
bigamy and other offenses for which il
was feared she might be punished. At
torney j. P. Fawcett was consulted ant
he advised an action to have the mar
riage set aside. From the time thu
word was received that Reffening wa!
still living the couple lived apart. t.,
In passing upon the case, Judge Nc
Carly stated that he could not grant {
divorce. as there had been no lega
marriage. but he would make deere,
annulling the pretended marriage con
tract. so as to lift the cloud from th'
parties and show that there was NJ
real criminal intent. The Judge though
that the evidence was conclusive tha
the second alliance had been entered
into innocently.
In discussing the case after he CAM
down from the bench, the Judge sait
that he had once before made lik,
decree. in that case young girl of L
having been deluded into a marriage
He held then as In this case that th
girl could not enter into legal mar
riage. not being In a position to max
q legal contract. A decree annuiling
pretended contract was also allowe
In the first case. It is rather an un
usual situation, and does not occur of
ten In the history of the courts.

died Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock
at the Aultman hospital. 1t is consid-
cred remarkable that he should live

reaction set in Thursday morning and
he continued to grow steadily weaker
until the end.
He was conscious almost to the time
of his death. and able to speak to
those who attended him. He repeat.

tempted to take his life, but that he
DID NOT CARE TO LIVE.

airy 20, 1876. When he was but few
years old his parents moved to Louis
vile, Ohio. Soon after this. Mr.. New
house came to Canton, and was en-
ployed as clerk in the store of j,
De Forest for about one year. He af'
terward entered the employment of
David collars. He has been an EN-
ployo of Mr.. collars for % years. Mr.
Newhouse was an active member OF
the Trinity Reformed church. At diff
ferent times he served as financial sec
retary and elder OF the church. The

NO NAMES.
Salem People Are Told That
Some Of Them Are Drink
ing Bad MIX.

Salem Is stirred up over the question
of infected milk, but does not appear
to have officials who will act In 40.
cordance with the laws and their plain
duty in the premises. On the matter
of the suppression of names the town
is in the same position as Canton
found itself till the inspector decided
the public demand for the names and
other data should be met. The Salem
News says:
The dairy and food inspector. in
his report to the board Of health. We'd
nesday evening. stated that among the
dairymen supplying milk to Salem four
diseased cows had been discovered.
What then? No names given-nobody
knows what families are supplied with
milk from those disease infected cows.
Nobody is supposed to know whether
the animals are killed. or otherwise
disposed Of. or not. or what avail Ia
that sort of halfway inspection? No
wonder the board turned down that re-
port.
