Highland, Ill.-A verdict of murder
and suicide was returned by Dep
uty Coroner Schiettenger, Thursday
in the case of Louis Genzel, pro.
prietor of a clothing store and dairy
farm, and his wife, whom he killed
with a revolver, and then fired upon
Himself Wednesday. Herbert Genzel,
a 12-year-old son, saw his father shoot
his mother, while Reinhart Genzel, an
other son, IA years old, saw his father
rush to the summer house in the rear
of the Genzel home, and kill himself.
While beating a carpet with her son
in the yeard, Mrs. Genzel accidentally
upset a basket of kindling Genzel had
placed there. Mrs. Genzel accused
her husband Of splitting the wood, and
he is said to have told her that she
would be sorry for falsely accusing
him.
Wife Dies Immediately.
For the while it appeared that the
matter had been dropped. Mrs. Genzel
and her son went into the. house to
lay the carpet. When she was on her
knees, lacking down the carpet, Cen
eel rushed in, and, as his son looked
on, placed the revolver to his wife's
head and fred.
The bullet penetrated the head, Mrs.
Genzel dying Immediately. Herbert,
powerless to stop his father, shouted
as Genzel rushed from the house to
the yard.
He entered the Summer house and
sat down in a chair. Reinhart, the
older brother, hearing the shots and
his brothers cries, came running to
learn the trouble. As he looked into
the door he saw his father calmly
place the revolver to his heart and
ire, He, too, died Immediately. The
revolver dropped from his hand, but
he remained upright in the chair.
Effected a Reconciliation.
1t is said Mr.. and Mrs. Genzel quar-.
relied about a year ago and decided to
live apart. A few weeks later, though,
a reconciliation was erected and Gen.
eel again went to his home.
Since then it appears everything has
run along smoothly in the household.
Genzel was about so years old; his
wife was 10 years his Junior. He
formerly was city treasurer of High
land. Besides Herbert and Reinhart,
the sons who saw the tragedy, there
is another son and a daughter. The
double funeral will be held Friday az
ternoon.

IMPRISONED WOMAN CHARGES
MAN KILLED HIS DAUGHTER
WHEN He ASKS DIVORCE.
kRAUsE STARTED THE INQUIRY
Two Notes Purporting to Have Been
Written by Girl, Were Found
and These Indicated She
Had Killed Herself.

Hartford City, Ind.-Slx years ago
this month Mrs. Ray NJ. Krause con-
fessed she killed her step-daughter,
Crystal Krause, but she is preparing
to prove, if she can, that her husband
committed the crime and permitted
her to go to the penitentiary for life.
Mrs. Krause's change Of attitude,
opening new phases of the famous
murder mystery, is a result of a suit
for divorce filed by her husband, W.
K. Krause. The wife's charge is set
forth in a ~eross-bill opposing her
husbands suit.
Krause was angry at the sensation
caused by his wife's counter-charge.
He said he should have sued for d.
vorce long ago, but that love for his
wife and a desire to help her in her
trouble caused him to delay 1t. He
sand he had a witten confession made
for him personally, in which Mrs.
Krause confessed the murder and that
he would give it to the world if it
proved necessary.
Husband Started Inquiry.
Crystal Krause died August 2, 1904.
She was the daughter of the leading
druggist in Hartford City and the
Krause home had been the social en-
Ter of the town. The girl was pop
ular and appeared to have been on
good terms with her young STEP
mother, who was the daughter of DIR.
w. H. Alderman, a prominent physi-
clan. Two notes, %purporting to have
been written by Crystal, We're found
ard these indicated she had killed
herself.
Within a week it was discovered
that the notes were written in hand
writing unlike that of the girl and
suspicion of murder was aroused. 1t
was the father who called attention
IF the authorities to the dissimilarity
between the writing in the notes and
that of his daughter.
A milk boy then went forward with
the statement that on the night be-
fore Crystals death he had gone to
O. drug store for Mrs. Ray Krause and
bought rat poison. A cofoner's in
quest was held and within a week
Mrs. Krause was arrested and
charged with the crime. She stoutly
denied her guilt for two months and
many of her friends believed she was
innocent until she appeared for trial,
When asked to plead she confessed to
the court that she was guilty and
made a written statement in which
she explained the motive behind the
crime.

MAN. an FROM IN I BAVARIA! A
VISITS HERE
FRANZ HARRER, OF FOREST
SERVICE IN GERMAN PROV
lNcE, STUDYING IN U. S.

Franz Harrer, a young forest serv-
country as a private individual to
study the methods of the forest serv-
ice in the United States, was visitor
in Missoula yesterday. He is making
tour of many of the forests in most
of the southern and western states,
taking notes on each. and will return
to his own country in about two
months He first came to this country
last October and at the time knew
nothing of the English language. On
shipboard he studied the language
and practiced it. He first landed in
South Carolina, then through Florida,
Alabama and other southern states.
He worked for a While in a lumber
mill at New Orleans, where he re-
manned for some time to continue his
study of the language. Coming from
New Orleans, he travelled through the
national forests of Louisiana, Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona and California
Mr.. Harrer also took in the forests
along the Pacific coast, including the
headquarters of district No. 6 at Port-
land. He will leave this morning for
Darby, where he will look over the
timber sales of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company. He will return to
to Butte and Anaconda, where he Will
study the smoke question with regard
to its relations to forestry. From
there he will go to Denver and CHI.
cago, then to Bavaria.
Mr.. Harrer is graduate of the for
estry school of the University of
Munich, and has been in the service
since 1903. He speaks very good Eng
lish with but slight accent. In
speaking of the methods of the forest
service, as compared to those in his
own country, he said that the admin
istrative work was along the same
lines in each country. Owing to the
age of the service in Bavaria-it was
in vogue before the discovery of
America-the work in that Sountry is
far ahead of that in the, United States
In many respects. In Bavaria there
are as many men employed in forestry
as in the whole United States. Mr..
Harrer says that in his country the
people have had trouble with 'smoke
poisoning" but it has~~not done q
great deal of damage, though it still
furnishes a yexing problem.
The young man. although in this
country in a private capacity, did not
desire to make any criticisms of the
forest service methods as followed in
the country, but made many favorable
comparisons.
