free to marry another woman TO whom
he was once betrothed. Hensel has
been twice indicted for the crime, if
crime it was. He scorns the charges
made against him, and with his attor-
neys contends that the death of the
bride of five months was due to an ac-
didental explosion OF lamp and that
her neck was broken by timbers falling
on her head in the building from
which her unrecognizable body was
taken.
Involved in the Hensel case are
many points similar to those UNI
earthed in the Luetgert and Rollinger
wife-murdcr trials, at Chicago. AS
in the Buctgert case, there is a bone
which will play an important part in
proving the murder theory. There is
a motive witness, too. She is the wo-
man Hensel was engaged to before he
married pretty Eva jeanette Van Du-
SEN In both the Luetsert and Rolling
er cases there was testimony that
they wished to be rid of their wives so
they could he free to marry other wo-
men. In the Luetgert case there was
the wedding ring. In this case there
is a portion of a plate of gold filled
