Burns.Johnson Fight.

A moving picture reproduction OF
the Burns-J ohnson fight, which oc-
Cured in December at Sydney, will
be the attraction for a matinee and
night at the Turner Theatre next
Sunday.
This is not local affair, but a
travelling organization under the
direction of Hugh D. Mcintosh, the
promoter and referee of the fight, who
is in America trying to arrange q
match between Johnson and Jeffries,
and who has brought the moving
pictures with him. They are being
shown simultaneously in various
parts OF the country, including the
Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, and
are attracting a great deal of atten-
ton on account of the fact that they
were made in the open air, and are
said to be the clearest of the kind ever
attempted. There has been a great
deal of interest manifested in the fight
between Burns and Johnson, which
decided the worlds championship,
and, as it occurred in Australia, this
is the first time that Americans have
had opportunity of passing judgment
on the relative values of the two
heavyweights.
The pictures show every detail, and
are long enough to occupy an evening
in the presentation. There is lecturer
with the films who explains the
various interesting events.

With an AK While He Sleeps.

ing to Destroy the Traces of
Her Terrible Deed.
For Four Days Mother Tried to
Shield Daughter, but Finally
Told Whole Story.
County Attorney and Chief of Po-
lice Satisfied that Girl is Insane.

A tragedy, mysterious in its motive
and plot, and frightfully brutal in the
execution of it's closing scenes, was
brought to light in st. Paul early
Thursday morning.
The victim was Louis Arbogast, a
wealthy Seventh street butcher, the
husband of a former New Ulmite and
the father of several bright and intel
ligent children.
The weapon usedwas an ak. This had
been brought from the woodshed and
used to beat in the victim head as he
slumbered peacefully in his bed about
four O'Clock in the morning. Then it
was taken to ahiding place in the cellar.
Tell-tale drops of blood along the floor
and stairways led to it's prompt dis
covery by the detectives.
Following the awful butchery with
the ak, the bed clothing was saturated
with kerosene and set afre.
Who committed the awful crime and
who, beside the perpetrator, was the
first to be aware of its commission
was mystery which puzzled the po-
lice as nothing has puzzled them for
years.
At first Mrs. Arbogast told one
story of the murder, her daughter,
Ida, another and her eldest daughter,
Jo,,ieo cti11 opothcr
This peculiar action on the part of
the members of the household led the
police to the conviction thatthe tragedy
was family affair and all but the
smallest children were placed under
the strictest surveillance.
A son-in-law, who had married one
of Arbogast's daughters against his
wishes, was the first to be suspected,
but so easily were his whereabouts on
the night of the murder accounted for
that he went out of the reckoning i'm
mediately.
Then the shadow fell across the wife.
The police found many strange cir
cumstances connecting her with the
nights horrible work, but at every
juncture they we're met with the most
inexplainable thing of all-the lack OF
motive.
Finally Louise came in for her share
of investigation and by bringing the
mother and daughter together under
a searching fire of examination the
whole mystery was solved.
The dramatic meeting took place al
the city hospital where Mrs. Arbogas
is being cared for by DR.. Belle Wal
ra tn.
Louise, as she sat by her mother:
bed with the county attorney and the
police, target of that battery of search
ing eyes, maintained an absolute de.
NAL when urged to confess her
guilt. Finally the mother, in an out
burst of desperate appeal, cried:
New Ulm review., 1909-05-19


Tell the truth-tell the truth. You
were outside fathers door when I
came from the bathroom. You must
tell the truth!''
The girl was silent. The mother
persisted. She almost shouted:
'sYou say you didn't do, but know
you did!'
But Louise professed to remember
nothing, and stared straight ahead in
silence, until the terrific strain was
broken by their sobs, and the two en-
braced, weeping bitterly, the girl
kneeling by her mothers bedside.
The police delayed no longer. A
formal complaint was made against
the girl and Monday morning she
stood in Judge Hanft's police court to
answer to the awful charge.
"You are not required" Judge
Hanft said, ''to plead at this time, but
may defer pleading if you wish until
you have consulted an Attorney
Then, for the first time, the girl
seemed to realize fully that she had to
speak, and the words that had been
choking in her throat, all through the
long reading of the complaint, rushed
to expression with the eagerness of
pitiful despair.
"God will be my Attorney" she ex-
claimed. II did not harm my father,
truly I did not harm my father!''
Stretching one hand toward the
judge, she cried:
"Good sir, I do not need an attor-
ney. Mr.. Daily" turning to the detec-
tive, II don't need an attorney, do 1?
I did nothing; Mr.. DAILY knows I did
nothing!''
There was a dramatic instant of
pause, and then, turning her face,
framed in rich black hair-a face in
which brown eyes, dry with the great
ness of grief, begged tearlessly-full
to those who stood by, she stretched
both arms toward Prosecuting Attor-
ney Michael Doran, and her voice
wept the bitterness of her appeal:
Mr.. Doran, please, Mr.. Doran, do
| need an attorney? You we known me
a long time, and I've done no wrong!
Do need an attorney?''
''No, you don't'' said Prosecutor
Doran, to quiet her; but he turned
away and could not look at her.
Then she went to the county jail,
there to remain until the courts have
decided whether she did the brutal
murder with which she is charged, or
whether she is irresponsible and killed
her father in a moment of demoniacal
frenzy, caused by hallucinations
which have for months been pursuing
her.
Chief O'Connor says she is plainly
irresponsible.
County Attorney O'Brien also says
she is insane and not accountable for
her acts.
The story of the mother-the accus-
ing story which brought Louise Arbo.
CAST to the bar of justice bears out
the theory Of the authorities.
Mrs. Arbogast in her statement O.
