ACCUSED OF
AID His story. Reluctantly Voia'
hears Out the suspicion ~
Foul rlay.

Kansas City, Mo-. june 3.-W. H.
klensmier, whose wife was Saturday
found murdered near their home at
Holton, kas.. buried in "A shallow
trench, was arrested in Kansas City,
kas.. yesterday. Marks on the body.
which is believed to have been buried
since May 10. indicated that her skull
had been crushed with n club, and
suspicion was directed against the
husband who disappeared on that
date.
Klensmire was induced 10 make the
following statement:
MY wife and | disagreed frequent
~. but ! usually let her have her way.
just before her death She was very
angry because / wanted To sell sons
land TO which She had signed a deed.
She said she would leave me. But l
did not want people To know she had
left me and told her to say she was
going way on "A visit. We had a few
words on sunday MAY I'D about IL.
She went ava and later l found her
body hanging from "A rope in the
btAn. 4 lOoh HtI OVNhs but was aiiHAd
of the disgrace, and hid her body in
the straw. The next day l buried her.
! told the children she had gone TO
Texas, and the telegram l had sent
saying that she was dead was intend
ed TO keep them from knowing she
had killed herself"
All this was ground M of Klcns-
mire in short, hesitating sentences.
Asked about the condition of his
wife's crushed skull. he said: Maybe
the dirt falling on it mashed il in. 1
wouldn't strike her"
There was no more than two feet
of dirt o,er the body when it was
found.
klensmire is n German farmer, 10
years old, tall. spare and uneducated.
lie talks with hesitation, and appears
dull of miEd. The possibility that he
would be tried for murder seemed
secondary to the disgrace that would
result from the publicity of the af-
fair. K.ensmire was born near Hol.
ton. and has always lived in that VIZ
entity. His mother and two or three
brothers and sisters live there, and
are prosperous and respected.
