lived with Haugh in Surfing, Wis.,, and
Appleton, Wis.
Unknown woman who died at Lorain
just before Mrs. Twohey was spirited
there to die.
Unknown woman in Toledo, o.
Unknown women in Stark county,
Huron county. Seneca county and
Lucas county.
1t was about a year ago that Lulu
Mueller, of Cumminsville, and Alma
aSteinigeweg, of Winton place, Cincin-
natl, were murdered. Their deaths
took place within 80 days of each
other. May Mcdonald. of Cincinnati,
was killed about this same time.
1t has developed that DR.. Haugh was
in Cincinnati at that time and two
women who saw man leaving the
spot where the mutilated body Of Lulu
Mueller was found described him as
STOPPING, gray haired, shaking as II
palsied and with a glaze in his eye.
This description fits DR.. Haugh, as he
was on October IA, 1904, within few
days of the girls death. On that date
Mrs. Mary Johnson, an old friend Of
the Haugh family, refused him admis-
sion to her Cincinnati lodging house
because of his drug eating habits.
She especially noted his appearance.
The Cincinnati police are working
on the theory that Haugh may have
knowledge Of the murder of these
three girls.
w. C.. Parish, brakeman on the
Baltimore & Ohio railway, was in DR..
Haugh's rooming house in Lorain the
night of February 16, 1904. He be-
came i'll and Haugh gave him treat
ment Then he began growing worse
and was taken to the hospital, where
he died.
81 gave him medicine" Haugh ex-
planned when an ambulance called for
him. "But it doesn't seem to have
done any good"
The physicians thought Parish was
suffering with pneumonia and made no
investigation.
DR.. Haugh advocated the painless
killing of all aged and infirm people
and those suffering from incurable dis.
eases while he operated in Hamilton, o.
Before the Transformation.
1t is only five years ago that DR..
Haugh was considered an authority in
the state of Ohio on the origin and
composition of drugs, and about his
laboratory there hung an air of mys-
terry and fascination for the people Of
Dayton, for he boastfully declared:
81 am at work on the evolution Of
drug, which in its perfection, will Gre
ate new era of science, a new order
of thought, and a new race Of beings.
I will bring into the reality of day
something more wonderful than
Stevenson in his widest dreams ever
imagined. I will prove that which he
only suggested certainty that two
beings can exist in the one body, the
one plotting out the influence of the
other"
In those days he had pretty home
on the outskirts Of the town presided
over by comedy, confiding little WON
an who was happy in the thought that
her husband was on the verge of a
great discovery which would some day
startle the world of science.
The Unmasking.
But imperceptibly at first there
came change over him. He secluded
himself more and more within his lab
oratory, and what at first the wife
thought were only the effects of close
study at last proved to be the violent
reactions Of the drugs he had been
taking, for one day she rushed into the
house of a neighbor crying that her
husband, suddenly transformed into
fiend, would kill her. 1t was no longer
the Dr. Haugh, whom his wife and the
Mr.. Hyde, which his drugs had Gre
ated.. Henceforth he was to be under
the power and control of that other
self, that evil personality, which had
been created and fed by the drug he
had been experimenting with, hyoscine
hydrobromate.
The Dark, Mysterious Chapter.
And now begins the dark and mysteri-
Gus chapter in his career for which
officers of the law are trying to find
explanation in the long list of MUIR
ders laid at his door. And the long
limbed, loose-jointed, shambling fig
ure sits in his narrow cell alternate
ly crying for the drug which has
transformed his nature and brought
him within the shadow of the gallows,
and cursing the officers who have
placed him behind the bars. He seems
Indifferent, nay, rather fiendishly glee-
full, over his plight, and in talking
about the crimes charged against him,
says:
"They say that l murdered my IA
ther, my mother and brother with
hyoscine for the sake of the money.
Then they say that when 1 have taken
enough of the hyoscine the man with
in me disappears, and Hyde is the
power 1t seems as though I must do
something-destroy something. My
only recourse is to get out into the
street-out into the open country
away from men and women, lest !
