In a fit of mental alteration Mrs.
Henry Guhlemann shot and killed her
six~-year-old daughter near New nellie.
Guhlemann was absent from home,
leaving his wife with their two chill
dren, aged six and one. Mrs. Guhle-
mann wrote in a book her intention
of killing the children and ending her
own life. When bedtime arrived the
woman put the children to bed, and
then prepared to retire herself, but
she took a pistol and an old butcher
knife to bed with her. The elder
child noticed the weapons and asked
what they meant. The mother re-
piled that she was afraid of burglars.
While the Oldest child was sleeping
Mrs. Guhlemann fired a shot through
her head, killing her instantly. She
then tried to kill the baby, but the
weapon failed to work. in her excite
ment she forgot the knife, and, not
knowing of any other means of death,
abandoned her bloody project. Guhle-
mann returned to find his child dead
in bed. Neighbors who were called
in summoned the county officers, and
they took charge of the mother, who
was wandering about in a dazed a
ner, as if she did not realize what she
had done. Guhlemann, who is pros
trated with grief, says his wife is
insane.
