FEARS HER HUSBAND
POLICE GUARD HOME OF MRS.
MATHILDA E. sTUMPNER.

Capt. Daley Of the ninth police precinct
is having policemen guard the house of
John Els, 1888 c street northeast, where
Mrs. Mathilda E. Stumpner, nineteen years
of age, daughter of Mr.. Els. and wife of a
Maryland painter named Joseph Howard
Stumpner, also resides. The young woman,
who was married last September, says she
fears her husband is, coming here, to do her
violence She was advised of his alleged
intentions yesterday when a message was
received by the police from the Baltimore
police authorities to the effect that Stump
ner had declared his intention of coming
here to kill his wife and then commit sui
eide. 1t was stated that Stumpner left
Baltimore with loaded revolver and a
bottle of laudanum and that he had boast
ed to his friends that he was going to COM
NIT the double tragedy mentioned.
Mr.. Els, armed with a shot gun, and two
policemen with fevolvers, remained on
guard during the night. but the young man
failed to appear in the neighborhood of the
house. The police were told this morning
that relatives of Mrs. Stumpner who reside
on Capitol Hill had expressed the fear that
the painter would visit their home and make
an effort to commit murder. They, there
fore, asked that policemen be directed to
be on the lookout for him. Miss Els last
August was visiting her aunt in Baltimore,
where Stumpner was boarding, and during
the time she was there she fell in love with
the painter.
Love at First Sight.
1T was case of love at first sight" a
relative Of the young woman remarked this
morning, land it seemed to have struck
them at the same time
The parents of the young lady objected
to the marriage, but Miss Els thought she
knew what she was doing, and so was
welded in about three weeks after the
couple met. Stumpner and his bride at first
resided In boarding house at 1130 Freder-
lex avenue. Mrs. Stumpner says her hus-
band quarreled with her the day after they
were married because sshe did not assist
the landlady in washing dishes. After that,
the young woman adds, her husband be-
came almost intoerable, but she stood his
alleged abuse as long she could before
she finally returned to the home of her par
ents.
1t is stated that Stlmpner formerly re-
sided near White Plains. Charles county,
Md, and that he has been working at his
trade in E1kridge. The police were inform
ed today that relatives of Mrs. Stumpner
would procure warrant in Baltimore for
the arrest of her husband, and that she
would go there to prosecute him. A descrip-
ton of the painter was sent to the several
stations, with instructions that the police
men look out for him and place him under
arrest.
