VIFE's AcQUIT TAI
IS NOW EXPECTED
Defense's Argument Changes
Sentiment Toward Woman
Accused of Murder.

August Krause's skull, disinterred aft
er being beneath the soil for several
weeks may be the means of saving from
the hangman's moose Mrs. TOmka Krause,
wife of the dead man.
T. ]. Knox, of the statute revision
commission, has returned from Worthing
ton, where he had been defending Mrs.
Krause on the charge of murder. Late
last night the jury, which was given the
case at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
had not returned verdict, and an ac-
quittal or a disagreement is confidently
looked for by the woman's attorney.
Krause was found dead in his bed at
Adrian on the morning of Jan. Z, and
circumstantial evidence pointed to his
wife as his slayer. He had been killed by
shot or shots from shotgun which lay
across his bed, and the coroner's jury
returned a verdict that the deceased had
come to his death from two gunshot
wounds in the base of the brain. The jury
argued and it was the theory of the
state at the trial of the case, that the
first shot had been sufficient to cause
practically instant death; that it followed
that the man had been unable to inf1ict
the second wound, and therefore the
wounds had been inflicted by somebody
other than himself. The condition of the
body and the bed clothes, according to
the coroner's jury, also precluded the pos

suicide A policy of insurance in a fra
ternal order for 81 600 and $1,160 in an
Adrian bank were considered the motive
for the commission of the crime by the
wife.
Defense Springs Surprise.
The defense sprang surprise on the
state when it had put in its testimony
in line with the theory Of the prosecu-
ton by producing the skull of the dead
man. Acting under orders of the woman s
ATTORNEYS, the body had been diSinterred,
the skull removed, and the jury was
shown that but one charge of shot had
entered the skull. This had penetrated
the anterior portion of the brain and had
fractured nearly all the bones Of the
head. and the defense's theory was that
the man had shot himself and that after
death there was a muscular contraction
OF the limbs during period or uncOn.
seriousness, but preceding death, and that
this accounted for the condition of the
clothing of the bed and the position OF
the body. Eminent expert medical les
timony was given both for the prosecu-
ton and the defense and the case was
holly contested on both sides.
The dead man was employed as a sec.
ton hand and, it is said, had periods OF
cident The defense contended that IN
one of his periods of mental depression
he had taken his own life. The dead man
was forty-nine years old and the ac-
cused widow is fifty three. Sentiment,
which at first was strongly against the
woman changed in some degree In her
favor as the trial progressed.

 They come in by the dozen," continued the manager. At first we began to think that we were making bad shoes and had the last examined with view to chang ing 1t. But we found that every one s shoes seemed to cause the same trouble. Finally l asked a doctor about 1t myself and he explained it very much as that woman did just now. There seems to be no cure for it. though in some aggra- vated cases physicians have removed a small bone or two from the foot of a patient.
 'Hygienic shoes, of course, properly and carefully constructed will relieve the trou- ble, but after it has once got it's hold on a woman nothing appears to completely cure her and have some of them return here after we have done everything that a shoemaker can to ease her pain with the cramp driving her nearer crazy than ever. 1 don't know what the finish will be, but it's up to some physician to find a cure for the women of today or we'll have them running around barefooted or in carpet slippers"

About Fresh Bread.

From the New Orleans Times-Demccrat
 We always advise fresh food, but with bread we find it best to turn things up- side down for once. What Is the req son?" This Is a question pr. Mark l.. Knapp. of New York city, puts to the medical profession. He admits says the New York Press. that dyspeptics often suffer after eating fresh bread. But why? He says fresh bread is an eyesore to the dyspepic, not because he does not like it, but because he does like it and is not permitted to eat it. Patients often suffer when they eat fresh bread yet this does not prove that stale bread is harmless. He adds that 1t Is not the freshness of bread that harms, nor is 1t the quality. It Is the quantity of the fresh bread con- sumed which Is responsible for the suf- fering. Because fresh bread tastes good, an excessive amount Is eaten. On the other hand, the staler and sourer the bread the more unappetizing 1t is, and consequently a patient will be inclined to eat less of 1t

statement in relation to "Leonalnie." the poem which he wrote in his youth in imitation of Poe and which Alfred Russel Wallace recently published in the Fort nightly Review, crediting 1t to Poe and giving the circumstances of the find.
 Tt was a mistake due to the folly of my youth, that l ever wrote that poem," said the poet And God knows I have suffered from It. It Is always coming upat the most inopportune time, and l sup pose 1t will do until the end of my life: but l must stand by my error. Of course l reassert that l wrote 1t, but as to it's merits l am not the judge. It was about eighteen years ago." he said A lot of us got to talking about critics, and 1 said that they did not know what they were doing.

From the New York World.

From the New York World. ! Say" said the manager of a fashion able shoe store on Fifth avenue to a customer who was waiting for his bundle have you seen any of these shoe-pullers yet?"
 Shoe pullers?" repeated the customer Whats that-some new kind of ani- malr'
 Not exactly. Its-But here comes one now"
 The door of the store opened and a young woman, stylshly dressed, and who would have been very pretty but for a look of agony that suffused her face limp ed in on one foot. Before clerk could come to her assistance she reached bench and pumped herself down, raised one little foot and literally ripped the shoe off, several buttons flying off in her haste. Then, with the same look of agony on her face, she grabbed her stockinged foot in one hand and rocked to and fro. clerk by this time had come to her aid with a glass of water, which the young woman drank at gulp and seem- ed to be relieved
 Are you in pain, madame?" asked the clerk, politely.
 "Dreadful!' exclaimed the young wo- man. "I don't know what it was, but I suddenly got the most awful cramp in my foot and 1t seemed as though l could never get here to take my shoe off. I wish you would see what Is the matter with the shoe l bought this pair here \ the other day, and they're loose instead of Ibeing too tight. But though they feel all right when I start out, they begin to hurt terribly In a little while, and yester- day I had to take this shoe off right in a street car.
 The clerk smiled Madame" he said, fit Is not he shoes that give you that cramp You have simply joined the great

 Not the First Arrival.
 "She's shoe puller with a vengeance" observed the manager to the man he had first addressed, but by no means the first one today. I should say that she was about the fortieth who has come in here with the same story. The clerk will fix her all right. by putting steel lift in the instep of her shoe, but she'll be back again in a few days and we'll prob ably have to build pair of shoes for her.
 But" said the customer, T don't un- derstand it."
 "No?" laughed the manager. Neither does any one else. It's a fact though, that in the past five years painful at- lection in the shape of a sudden cramp of the toes, has overtaken the feminine population of New York and other cities. till almost every woman is victim of 1t. We began to get cases of it from the first in few numbers. but ever increasing. till now 1t is no uncommon thing for us to have to treat hundred a day. See, here comes another"
 This time the newcomer was heavy woman. of fashionable appearance, who hobbled into the store and sank into seat next to the first sufferer. A clerk removed her shoe and the succeeding conversation was much like the previous one the customer had overheard.
 The Awful Results.
 Its terrible" said the heavy woman. NO matter where I go l am liable to have to stop and take off my shoe. It feels as though hot nedles were being pressed through by foot, and the pain is unbearable."
 I'm just that way, too,' said the other. why, when I go to the theatre l have to take along a pair of slippers to wear alter removing my shoes. And at a card party, the other night l had to slip off my boots and sit in my stockinged feet all the evening"
 Me, too," spoke up third woman who overheard the dialogue I've been a terrible sufferer from the same thing, and at a dinner party, when had to kick my shoes off under the table, they got lost and I had a terrible time finding them without letting the other guests know what was the matter What do you sup pose the trouble is?'
 My doctor says it's nothing but what Is comomnly known as flat foot, said the first woman. Five years ago, he tells me- the thing was hardly ever heard of, but nowadays every one has it. and there seems no way to stop it. It Is caused, he says, by a weakening of the muscles in the sole of the foot, which allows the in- step to sag down, bringing pressure on the front of the fot and causing the nerves at the base of the toes to become pressed, together, making the blod congest, or something like that. we spent I don't know how much on hygienic shoes, but nothing seems to do much good"
 -An. l,' said the pretty girl. Why, for year I went without a heel on either shoe, thinking that high heels caused the trouble But I was just as badly off. My doctor says the asphalt pavements cause the trouble more than tight shoes or high heels"

 "The fact that sentiment seems to be centering upon Judge Parker is a hopeful sign. It means that the Hearst movement, which seems to have the support of MT.
