Iowa City, Ia, Oct. 30.-The trial of
Baron Erich Won kutzleben. the
Homestead trainwrecker, will open
Monday in Marengo. Since the infor-
nation was filed against him many
new features have been brought TO
light Among other things II mas ell
fected IL reconciliation between the par
ents of the young man charged with the
crime.
Kutzleben was born i'm Germany of a
good family On the death OF his
grandfather, his father was appointed
administrator of the estate, but proved
an embeZzler to the amount of $4,000
and fled to America to escape the con-
sequences of his act. He came TO Home
stead and has worked for fifteen years
as an Amana society laborer.
His son followed him to America
VIXEN he became of age. and settled in
Anlana. but left there and since has
worked on various railroads. He re-
turned TO AInana and last summer. ac-
cording to his own confession, since
repudiated, wrecked the Rocky Noun
tain limited just TO see what would
happen
Ia the search for evidence it was pur-
posed to take dispositions in Germany
When Erich's mother heard of the
case. she decided to come to America
at once and is now in Marengo. She
has become reconciled to her husband
and they will live together In the flu
turc.
The case will also have an importan,
effect. perhaps. on the life of KutZle
4 ben's sister. She is engaged to be mar
4 ried to u German army officer of higf
! rank. Instead of going to Germany tt
4 take evidence which she is expected u
I give, she will come here and testify il
order to keep the matter quiet at he1
| home. 1t is feared that amy undue
publicity in Germany would result il
breaking off the girls engagement.
Kutzleben will plead insanity whel
brought before Justice Byington Mon
day His parents say that when III
was born his head was out of shape ant
that he was never i'm his right mind
Many witnesses among his associate
have been subpoenaed, who will testif.
