Terrible Struggle Ensues

The woman had been attacked by her
insanely Jealous husband before she
could get out of bed. A hammer had
been used with great effect and her
head was literally batted to pieces. But
Rausch gained his victory only after
struggle. The woman wore only a
chemise and unhampered by garments
evidently fought like a tigress. The
room was smeared with blood and at
one time she must have got possess
sion of the hammer, for the body of the
baker bore marks of heavy battering.
But the mans strength won, and he
beat the woman to the floor and then
about the breast i'm a horrible manner,
inflicting deep gashes.
After that he washed the knife and
placed II where 1t belonged and re-
turned and with but few minutes of
life left him sat down at a table and
wrote a note, stained with the blood of
the woman he had just killed, and dis
honoring even her memory by insin-
uating that he had killed her because
of her criminal love for one of his en-
ployes.
After that ne put on new coat, took
big dose of strychnine and dropped
down on the bed and died.
Officers after a complete investigation
yesterday have been unable to find any
reason for the brutal murder other than
that Rausch was insanely jealous of his
wife.
He was ss years OF age and the wo-
man one year his junior. They had
lived In Downey about one year,

WIFE OF REAL ESTATE MAN

On One Occasion, She Says, He

Hatpins Were Bent Out
of Shape

Mrs. Helen b. Green, the pretty wife
of Adolph Green, we'll known real
estate man of Los Angeles, yesterday
was granted an interlocutory decree OF
divorce from her husband by Judge
Wilbur of department s of the superior
court on the ground of extreme cruelty
The cruelty as alleged by Mrs. Green
consisted In a series of beatings and
cuffs imposed upon her by her husband
and which Judge Wilbur was at loss
to understand.
The couple were married at Yuma
December 81, 19OS and trouble. accord

later.

man in a Quarrel

A dispute over a bottle, the probable
value of which was cents but which
cost mans life in the fight for Its
possession. is being settled in the Grim
inal department of the superior court
in the trial of James II. Fleming, a
negro, who is charged with the murder
Of his friend, Giles Smith.
The killing occurred November 2 in a
junk yard, where Smith and Fleming
were sorting days collection from al
leys and cutters.
Fleming, according to the allegations
of the trial, accused Smith of having
stolen bottle belonging to him, and
Smith protested his innocence, where
upon Fleming seized broken broom
handle and belabored his former friend
on the head with 1t. A moment later,
when Smith caught Fleming bending
over a sack of bottles and off his
guard, he proceeded to beat Fleming
over the head with a small wagon
tongue with such telling effect that
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-03
places and he was temporarily stunned.
Died on the OPERATING Table

1t is alleged that Fleming then Sc
cured his revolver and shot Smith
through the back, and the latter died a
few moments later on the operating
table at the receiving hospital.
One of the chief witnesses of the day
was Mrs Fleming, the wife of the ac-
crsed man. She appeared in court with
her little baby, but she presented one
of the most horribly pitiful sights ever
witnessed in a local court room.
The woman is afflicted with some
peculiar malady at the base of the
spine which has doubled her body up
like q jackknife and prevents her walk
ing. AS a result, although stylishly
dressed, she crawled into court on her
hands and knees.
When she was called to testify she
had to crawl to the witness stand as
suming the peculiar posture, and once
husbands troubles.
Follows Advice to Surrender
She testified that on the day of the
killing her husband came into tie house
and told her that he had shot a man
who tried to kill him with wagon
tongue and she had advised him to give
himself to the officers, whereupon he
had hurried to the station.
The implements of war were pro-
duced in court. The stick with which
Fleming had opened hostilities looked
as though it had been battered against
brick wall. and the stick with which
Smith had beat Fleming on the head,
although nearly two inches in thick
ness, was splintered and broken as
though 1t had been through a cyclone
or a street car wreck.
Physicians created a favorable inn
preston in behalf OF the defendant by
stating that he was OF highly nervous
temperament and that such blows
struck on his head might have caused
hlm to become temporarily mentally
unbalanced ct the time OF the killing.

BILE and spent the evening with a num-
Der of his friends, joking and laughing
before he returned to his home shortly
before midnight.
What happened upon his arrival can
only be judged from the condition of
the bodies and the condition of the
apartment in which the couple slept

l walked inside. AS I sat down there
were two women seated opposite me
and I did not like their looks. AS soon
as they saw my husband they both
waved their hands and cried out, oh,
there's Dolphie; hello, Dolphie! and
my husband answered them and then
they began making remarks about me
in an undertone. When my husband
and l left the car 1 asked him who
these women were that they should so
hunIilate me, and for an answer he
took me around a dark corner and
punched my head until my hat pins
were bent out of shape and my hat
fell off. When I managed to get away
from him and tried to telephone for the
police he again abused me and dragged
me from the store where l was using
the phone
"He always humiliated me and some
times he was away from the house for
days at time. One time 1 found him
at the Suburban cottage and brought
him to Los Angeles and he got as far
as Levy's and refused to go farther and
he was arrested"
An Incident corroborated
A butcher testified as to the incident
regarding the time when Green was al
legged to have struck his wife and
dragged her away from phone.
Mrs. Jessie b. Goff of South Flower
street, the young woman's mother,
testified to having seen bruises on her
daughters face.
When Judge Wilbur asked the mother
If Mrs. Green was living with her, Mrs.
Golf replied I'm the negative and eX-
planned that her daughter lived Just -
few doors away from her home and
that on a former occasion when the
young woman had fled from her hus-
band. Green had sued her. the mother,
for $4,000 for ali0eation Of affections,
which he failed to secure.
The divorce was granted and the
woman allowed to resume her maiden
name.

Displays His Jealousy

"On another occasion, when we were
living at the Hotel Corona, we Went
to Ascot park to see the races. While
there 1 happened to see young man
whom had known ever since | came to
California. simply bowed and
nodded to this acquaintance, when my
husband became fearfully jealous and
said 1 had no right to speak to any
man but my husband.
"As soon as we reached home he be-
came more enraged than ever. He hit
me with his fist and knocked me down
and kelt over me and hit me in the
face, and before / could prevent him
he kicked me several times.
"A short time after that we were
driving in buggy on South Hill
street. 1t was during the afternoon
and there We're many people on the
street, and because / differed with him
in an argument he turned and struck
me several times in the face, causing
one of my eyes to become so bruised
that / was compelled to stay in the
house for week or more.
"Any slight cause would provoke an
attack. When we were living in lit
tie home of our own he became enrag
ed one time because he was hunting
for pair OF old shoes he had had and
could not find them. Finally, afer he
had searched all over the house he ac-
cused me of having given them away,
and when I denied it he seized my two
hands and held them and struck me in
the face with his free hand.
Finally he hit me so hard that l
fell to the floor and my head struck
against the stove leg and my lip was
cut and my cheek considerably
bruised.
Call Him "Dolphie"
MY last trouble with him occurred
some two weeks ago. just before he
left me. At that time we had been out
