mediate trial, pleaded guilty 70 muir
der, and. walking calmly to the bench,
handed to Judge Vaughn a signed con-

The confession was read and the jury
retired for Is minutes. returning with
a verdict Ct guilty. Judge Vaughn then
sentenced Mrs. Krauss to imprison-
ment for life Within half an hour the
prisoner was on her way to prison.
The confession pleads that the crime
was committed while the defendant
was dispossessed of her senses; that
she had confessed to her husband, W.
r. Krauss. that she was prompted to
poison her step-daughter by an inde-
scribable desire to kill. superinduced
by the notion that Crystal annoyed
her father by keeping company with 9

with the domestic relations Of the fam

most pleasant, the confession concludes
with an invocation of Gods help in
supplying strength to bear the sorrow

ROTTEN ROPE LETS
TWO PAINTERS DROP
One Landed on Window and
Other Held On and Was
Saved

William Muncy of No. 1905 French
street and Jacob Burkhardt. of No. $40
Bennett street. two painters had mar
row escape from death this morning
They were engaged in painting the house
of August Ferschke on the northeast cor
ner Of Eighth and King streets when a
rope holding the scaffold upon which they
were sitting broke. Muncy grabbed the
upper piece Of rope and hung on with the
grip Of desperation. Burkhardt, however
fell distance of about twenty feet land
ing on a cornice at the second story OF
the building. He sustained but slight
injuries and as soon as he saw the pre-
dicament Of his fellow employe hastily
made his way to the roof OF the building
and drew his companion to safety just IN
time to save his life for he was fast los
ing his strength. At the time the rope
broke the men were about 80 feet above
the pavement and their escape is consid-
cred miraculous. Paint was distributed all
over the street.
