FUNERAL OF MRS. HEskETT.
Victim of Terrible Accident at Cedar
Falls Buried.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, May 30.7rThe funeral
of Mrs. Herbert Heslett, who was
killed by the train Wednesday, was
held yesterday afternoon from the
residence on Third street. The inter
ment was in Greenwood. The accident
was the most gruesome that ever oc-
CURED in this vicinity. The remains
We're SO mangled that they had to be
wrapped in a blanket and in this form
We're placed in the caSket and inferred.
The StrangeSt part of the accident is
the miraculous escape of the baby that
was in the cab being wheeled across
the bridge. The babe was hurled forty
feet in the air and down a stone en-
banAment twenty feet high. When
picked up by Earl Hodges the head
was under water but the feet being
up kept a portion of the water from
the lungs. The pliability of the bones
is all that saved it from several frac-
lures. The child is SO badly bruised
that whenever it makes a move ii
cries. The attending physician says
1t Will recover without permanent in
jury from it's terrible experience.
Coroner T. U. Mac Manus, of Water
loo, after viewing the remains of Mrs
Mesket decided no inquest was nee
essary as the cause of death was APP
parent.
Mr.. Hesket, the husband was in the
country at the time of the accident
and drove to the scene and reached
the spot before he was aIprehended.
When he came face to face with the
remains of his wife he
swooned and fell helpless III the arms
of q bystander.

ALLEGED ATTEMPT AT MURDER.
Mrs. scrosgins, a Bride of Three
Weeks, Arrested at Waterloo.

Waterloo. May 30.-Mrs Benjamin
Scroggins, bride of three weeks, ana
but - years of age, is under arrest here
on the charge of attempting the life OF
her 65-year-old husband by admins
tering poison to him in his food. The
date of the alleged attempt at murder
was last Saturday, but the facts We're
not made public until yesterday, when
the woman was apprehended.
Saturday, it is alleged, Scroggins
came home to supper at the usual hour
and sat down to the customary evening
meal. He had eaten but little and had
drunk a cup of tea when he was seized
with severe pains which were followed
by purging and vomiting. A physician
was called. who at once pronounced it
as case Of poisoning, the symptoms
being that of strychnine.
Yesterday the officers We're informed
of the affair, and upon investigating,
they found the house where Mr. and
Mrs. Scroggins lived closed up, but they
effected a forcible entrance. Whatever
traces there may have been of poison in
the house is said to have been removed,
excepting piece of carpet on which
some of the contents of Scroggins'
stomach had been vomited. These have
been sent away for chemical analysis,
and on the chemists report probably
depends the question as to whether the
prosecution of the wife for the crime
will be pushed.
According to the best informa ton
obtainable the honeymoon of the couple
had been a stormy one and disagree
meEts began to crop out almost imme-
diately after the marriage. The rela-
tons We're beginning to be unendur-
able. 1t is alleged that the wife had
made threats against her husbands life
and these will double the evidence
brought forward to fix the responsible
ity for the poisoning upon her.
There appears to be no doubt that
Scroggtns took some kind of poison into
his stomach, altho it may not have been
strychnine, nor have been placed in his
food by his wife, who is accused of the
offense. The defense will very probably
endeavor to show that the distress from
which Scroggins suffered may have
been due to ptomaines. which frequent
iy develop in the purest and most
wholesome food If kept SO long that de-
cay begins.
Mrs. Scroggins has had nothing to
say after her first outbreak Of grief,
following her arrest. but declares her
innocence of any attempt on her hus-
band The preliminary hearing will be
held tomorrow.
