Iowa City, Aug. 2s.--What would
have proved to be bold effort 10
sw;nd]a was unearthed by very thor
ough investigation of the facts by the
relatives of the late Henry Biebeshei-
mer.
Relatives of Biebesheimer in this
city received a sudden notice OF MS
death In Chicago The remains were
brought to the city, and with thein
came a lady who said that she was his
wife.
This fact was as startling to the rel
atives as the announcement Oh ms
death. The two sisters at this place.
Mrs Charles Schmidt and Miss Lou
ise Biebesheimer, were on the pest u
terms with their brother and close
sly conversant with his affairs. out az
no time had they heard from him tlae
he was married.
with all due display OF grief the
woman allGIueU tilS iuhS''''
was held in this city, but the relatives
here looked upon her with good oeai
Of suspicion and she was asked some
pointed questions which caused hef
uneasiness. In one instance she was
told very decidedly that she was
fraud. in the opinion of the speaker.
This she emphattcally denied. she
maintained that she had been married
to and was the lawful wife of the de-
ceased.
AS far as can be learned, the most
that she could have done was possibly
TO have attended Mr.. Biebssheimer IN
his sickness, who at the time on MS
death possessed some money. 1t was
in the hope of getting this money that
the woman devised the scheme OF
palming herself off as his wife. Charles
Schmidt. the brother-in-law, took the
matter in hand and employed local at
.torneys. who went to Chicago to make
an investigation. The first trip proved
fruitless. but Chicago parties were left
in charge. and as final climax to the
story the woman admitted the fraud
in Its entirety.
