KEPT HIS w,FE's BODY.
Aged Man in Saltwater 10th to Have
the Body of His Wife Taken.


Saltwater, Sept. 24.-Particulars be-
came known of the strange action OF
Charles Stelzer a German veterinary
surgeon, whose home ia on West Oak
street, near the westerly limits of the
city, who permitted the remains of his
dead wife to lie at the family home
from the time of her death last
Wednesday until yesterday morning.
Mrs. Stelzer had been poorly for
more than year, and week ago last
Saturday fell and fractured her thigh.
She was confined to her bed, and the
injury, together with her weakened
condition, caused her death on Wednes-
day. The husband, who is about 80
years of age. was devoted even in death,
and remained by the side of his wife's
body, refusing admission to everybody.
On Saturday, however, some of the
neighbors mistrusted that something
was wrong and they went to the house,
but he refused to admit them. The
stencil from the woman's decomposing
body was horrible and Coroner Freligh
was notified and went there to investi-
gate. Stelzer told him that his wife had
died last Wednesday and he was willing
that she should be buried, but wanted
her grave made in his back yard, so
that he could be near her. He was told
that this was impossible and he at last
consented to have her buried in GEM
etery, and this was done.
