it has to present against the men un-

inson of Chicago.

Chicago, June 2.-Dr. Haldane
Cleminson has been formally booked
for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Nora
Jane Cleminson. DIR. Cleminson at
tended the funeral under police guard.
The woman's stomach was placed in
the hands of experts for chamical ex-
animation.
Chief of Detectives O'Brein stated
that DIR. Cleminson's declaration that
his wife had been chloroformed by
burglars and that he himself had suf-
fered from the poison was utterly un-
worthy of credence.
The money and spoons which it is
alleged the physician said were stolen
were found in a closet of his house.
A woman to whom DIR. Cleminson is
said to have sent flowers was discover
ed to be Miss ]. NJ. Berg, 21 years old,
who was patient at the Chicago
Union hospital from May 20 to May 26.
According to DR.. E. E. Zanghan,
house physician at the hospital, DR..
Cleminson made almost daily visits to
the hospital while Miss Berg was there
and left large punches of flowers each
time. 1t has been impossible to locate
Miss Berg at the address On the hos
pital record. -.
DR.. CleminSOn has admitted that the
story he had told Sunday in regard to
a burglary was false and that he had
deliberately hidden the silverware to
make 1t appear more real.

Fred Miller, a switchman, heard the
noise and opened the door to find Davis

So long had he kept up the pounding
that the motion of his foot was mostly
reflex action and for a time he was
unable to explain anything of his pre-
dicament.
Davis, when he was given water and
was able to sit up, told how he had
climbed into the empty car at Okla
homa City, intending to come to st.
Louis.
Just before the train pulled out, he
heard the pin dropped into the outside
lock of the car and realized that he
was imprisoned. For some time this
did not give him concern, but as it
grew close within the car, he discover

made threats against his parents. and
was denied admission to the house.

of him, and they found him in the
coal house. His parents are ex-
tremely old and feeble, and seem to
be in great fear of their son, who
has been a physical wreck for years
Rupin acted as his own attorney in
court today, and made good talk.
He spoke feelingly of his ailment-
a kind of paralysis-and denounced
his relatives because they would not
care for him. After he had been
sentenced and the sentence sus-
pended he limped out of the court
room announcing in a tone Of voice
plainly audible all over the room:
ssT'his is a sample of Kansas charity.
You are all a pack of barbarians and
savages."
Rupfn's case is a hard one to deal
with. He is unable to support him
self. and will not stay at the poor
farm where he was taken last sum-
mer, and his parents are unable to
care for him.

cerning the domestic relations of Dr.
Cleminson and his wife. According
to Captain Kane, DR.. Cleminson told
him today that Mrs. Cleminson had
tried to commit suicide two weeks ago
by taking chloroform. The physician
declared that he had found an empty
chloyoform bottle and had asked her
about it. She denied having used any
of the poison and the physician said
he believed her. When he found her
dead on last Sunday morning, he de-
clared that he decided to tell a bur-
glar story, because he did not think
any post morten would be held and
that his story would be believed.
