came down to see me. Instead OF
bringing me money, Lehman Dor
rOWed $40 from me. / had expected
some remittance from the gang, and
then / began 10 realize that they were
apt to throw me. I received letters
from the gang in which there were the
usual promises. A few days after his
return 70 ST. Louis Lehman tele-
graphed me that l had better go fur

came less frequent. / found out since
then that the gang destroyed many Of
her letters. evidently suspecting thai

from the time l left the city. and II
was simply my own anguish and the
fact that my wife was deserted and
probably starving in St. Louis that led
me TO come back"

charge made by Charles Early against
Mrs. Paulina Taeschler, who conducts
a private hospital for women in South

Laurel, Del, May 30.-Recent de-
velopment5 OF the Collins murder
case near Laurel, in which two men
and two different campaigns are ill.,
volvel by the forces of the law, one
of the accused men being Elmer
Collins, husband of the butchered
woman, have led to the belief that
Collins is breaking down under Of
his grieE and connection with the
crime, and that he will be mental
wreck long before the day set for
his trial at Georgetown.
Unless there is some decided de-
velopneut in the young mans favor
he will lose his mind. Fearing that
the intense strain the accused man
is undergoing may kill him, his
friends have made another deter
mined effort to establish his lnno-
cence aud this time have engaged
Special Detective Maull of the

to be a remarkably clever man in
mysterious murder cases. Datec-
tive Maull has gone to work with
zest that inspires new hope in the
hearts of Collins friends and prom
Uses to make an important arrest

The great strain which Elmer
Collins has undergone since his ar
rest on suspicion of being ther muir
, derer of his wife, has had serious
effect on his mental condition and
his friends fear thatif heis not soon
freed from the terrible sufpicion
now hanging over him that he will
soon become hopelassly insane.
! Collins spends hours alone, at the
grave Of his young wife aud pray5
and calls aloud to his wife to
come back and free him from suS-
picion by disclosing the name of the
hcnaish murderer. He keeps the
grave constantly supplied with
flowers and great quantities have
been supplied by friends Of the I'M
sortunate woman to decorate IN
honor Of Memorial Day.
Some super5titiou5 residents Of
this vicinity have become concerned
about the appearance Of a strange
Dlacdblrd similar to a raven, which
hovers over the Collins farm
throughout the day. At night the
bird flies to tbs farm Of George
Henry. neighbor, and one Of the
chief witnesses in the case, where it
remains until the following day
and again returns to the desDlatc
farm. 1t is understood that one OF
the detectives made an effort to
capture the bird, bat was prevented
by Henry, as it was then on his
prOperty.
