DR.. cleminson, Charged With Murder
of His Wife, Is Seriously M.

Chicago, June 6. = DR.. Haldane
C!eminson, who is being held by the
pollce on the charge of numbering his
wife, was transferred from the Shelf
held avenue police station to the coun-
W Jail yesterday, and soon after his
removal he became seriously i'll and
was placed in the Jail hospital. It
was reported last night that he is on
the verge of nervous collapse,
DR.. Francis E. Mcnamara, the Jail
physician, was called in to attend DR..
Cleminson and said he believed the
prisoners condition was due to the
severe grill he has been put through
by the police during the past week. A
closer examination by DR.. Mcnamara
revealed the fact that DR.. Cleminson's
heart was bad
Dramatic Scene.
A dramatic scene occurred at the
sheffield station yesterday when Miss
Anna kolb, pretty blonde, was TAX
en- to the cell occupied by DR.. Clemin-
son. 1t was from Miss Kolb that the
police obtained the names of a num-
Der of women with whom Dr.. Clemin-
son is said to have been on friendly
terms.
Miss Kolb admitted to Capt Kane
that she had been patient under DR..
Cleminson at the Chicago Union hos
pital and that he had paid considera-
Bile attention to her.
Screams Historically.
Upon being taken to the physicians
cell, Miss Kolb screamed historically.
She was left there for ten minutes.
with a detective nearby. What the
conversation between the two was
about the police refused to make pub
lie. but their talk terminated with
second series of screams by Miss
Kolb and she was led away.
Capt. Kane stated that Miss Kolb,
while of value in the investigation Of
the case, was not the woman most
wanted.
The theory of the police that Mrs.
Cleminson came to her death through
poison was strengthened yesterday by
the unofficial report that the chemist
who is examining the stomach of the
dead woman, found traces of NOR
phine.
1t is the theory of the police that
the drug was administered to the
woman in her food the night before
her death.

of an anonymous and accusing letter,
the police are holding Frank Keller,
aged twenty-three, in connection with
the deathof John T. Binkley, the aged
Evansville Qnd.) physician, supposed

that the day after Binllley's death the
writer overheard Keller telling an
other man that he had got some easy
money" at the Wellington hotel, but
had to kill an old man to get it.
Keller strenuously denied the accu-
sation, declaring that he had never
used the language quoted, nor, he said
did he know any employe of the hotel.

Louise Arbogast Indicted for
Brutal Crime by Grand
Jury at St. Paul.
DEFENSE MAY Be INSANITY
Mother Believed to Be Named in
Secret Indictment Also Re-
turned by Jury.

st. Paul. June 5.-Louise Arbogast
the pretty daughter of Louis Arbo-
CAST, the West Seventh street BUTCH
er, now stands formally charged with
the brutal murder of her father at
their home at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing of May 10, and it is believed that
her mother also is held answerable.

ty grand jury
An indictment charging Miss Arbo-
CAST with the murder was returned
by the grand jury at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, and at the same time
secret Indictment was returned.
which, it is rumored in police circles,
is against the mother, who is now at
the family home under the care of a.
trained nurse.
Keep Watch on Mother.
Ever since the murder the police
have kept a close watch on the Arbo-
CAST home, and when Mrs. Arbogast
was taken to the city hospital for
treatment for the burns she received
in the burning of the bed upon which
her husband lay when murdered the
police had several long conferences
with her. Since her recovery to such
an extent that it was possible to take
her back to the home, it is under
stood the police have continued their
surveillance of the house, so that the
arrest may be delayed until Mrs Ar
bogast RECEIVERS completely from the.
burns.
Defense May Be Insanity.
The returning of the indictment
against the daughter Louise, who has
been under arrest at the county jail
for some time, probably will result in
an immediate investigation as to her
sanity. 1t is known that she has been
subject to nervous ailment for some
time, necessitating her treatment at
sanatoriums several times, and it has
been generally understood that if she
should be indicted the defense would
be insanity. Miss Arbogast probably
will be arraigned this morning, and it,
is probable that the first steps will
then be taken toward the appointment
of board to examine into the sanity
question.
