FRED ZIEMANN, OF NEENAH,
WIS, CUTS WiFE'S THROAT
AND SUICIDES.
He Spent His Money for
Liquor

MENOMINEE, Mich, May 20.-One
of the most terrible crimes in the his
tory of Menominee was committed
when Fred Ziemann of Neenah Wis.
murdered his wife by cutting her
throat with razor then half seVering
his own head with the same weapon
The crime was committed in the
house OF James Smith, a brother-in-
law of the dead woman. Mrs. lie
mann came from Neenah a week ago
with her three small children, to live
with her sister, Mrs. Smith. She left
her husband last fall because he drank
up all his wages and did not support
her.
The husband went to his wife's
mothers house at Neenah this week
to find out where his wife had gone,
but they would not tell him. He
found out somewhere else, however,
and came at night or early in the
morning. While the Smith family was
the door and inquired for his wife.
She went into the parlOr with him, but
left all the doors open as she feared
he might have a revolver

covered with blood and staggered into
the room and dropped on the floor.
Ziemann was standing in the middle
of the room. Smith jumped upon him
and threw him to the floor and then
ran for a doctor. Then, it is thought.
Ziemann cut his own throat and
craWIed on his hands and knees,
leaving a track of blood, into the din
ing-room, where his wife was lying.
Mrs. Smith, with her children, and
Ziemann's children, We're there, and
Ziemann made a grab for one of his
little daughters, but Mrs. Smith
jerked her away.
He then fell on lie floor by the
side of his wife. He was still con-
sciOus when taken to the hospital,
but is not expected to live.
While lying on the floor Ziemann
motioned for pencil and paper and,
raising himself on his elbow, wrote
with a shaky hand, whisky done it,
Later, when the doctor came, he also
wrote, Tell my brother Gus at Nee
nah to forgive me-"
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith say Ziemann
was perfectly sober when he came to
the house.
