FATHERS ALLEGED CRIME.
dren Into the Mississippi at Min
neapOIis-Suicide Follows.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 1.-The police
authorities believe that William Ro-
senfield has thrown his four children,
ranging in age from 2h to seven years,
into the Mississippi river from the
Marshall avenue bridge, and then
leaped in after them. All are supposed
to have drowned. None of the bodies
have yet been recovered, but accord
ing to police reports satisfactory evil
dence is at hand that the crime was
committed. Rosenfield has been sepa-
rated from his wife, who had taken
three of the children and gone to Min
neapolis to live with her sister. On
Wednesday last Rosenfield secured a
horse and buggy, and taking with him
the seven-year-old child, who still re-
sided with him, drove to Minneapolis.
He drove to the house where his wife
was staying, and while she was at the
sick bed of her sister the husband Sc
cured the three younger children and
drove off with them. Before leaving
the house he is said to have told one
of the inmates that "the next time
they saw him or children they would
be wearing Grape" Thursday morn
ing an officer of Prior avenue station
found the horse, still hitched to the
buggy, wandering about in the vicin-
ity of the Marshall avenue bridge. In
the buggy was dog which had been a
pet of the children, but no other trace
of the occupants has been found. The
theory of the officers, which they claim
is substantiated by evidence they have,
is that Rosenfield drove to the center
of the bridge, which is about 200 feet
above the river, threw the children
into the water and then leaped in after
them
