CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Arrest of DR.. Feist, Prominent Nash
vile, Tenn, Physician Causes
Sensation.

Nashville, Tenn, March 17-Dr.
Herman Feist was arrested here Fri
day morning and placed in jail on the
charge of numbering Mrs. Rosa Man
grum, whose dead body was found
f1oated in the Ohio at Cairo, ILL.,,
about six weeks ago, she having left
Nashville, December IA last, osten-
sibly for visit to st. Louis. Feist
is well-known and prominent physi-
clan of Nashville, and his arrest
caused a profound sensation. The war
rant for the arrest was sworn out by
Chester Mason, brother of the dead
woman.
Mrs. Mangrum was beautiful wom-
an and was highly connected in this
city and throughout the state. Her
disappearance and the subsequent find
ing of her dead body in the Ohio river
has puzzled the detective forces of
Nashville, st. Louis and Chicago. DR..
Feist is known to have borrowed
money from Mangrum, and it is
claimed by those interested in his ar
rest that the doctor was seen with
Mrs .Mangrum on the afternoon of the
night she disappeared. The warrant
charges DR.. Fest with highway robbery
and murder.
