NAY CLEAR MYSTERY
WATERLOO WOMAN BRANDS Hus-
BAND AS MURDERER OF
PArRoLMAN.
SAYS SPOUSE FORCED HER
TO ASSIST HIM IN cRlMI
Officer Was Shot Down Last October
BY Burglar in an Alley and AssaiI-
ant Eseaped-offieers Inclined to
Doubt Woman's Story.

Waterloo, Sept. 8.-A woman living
on Riehl street has certainly started
something in the way of creating ex-
element and has caused hundreds of
citizens of Waterloo to anxiously i'm
quire at police headquarters as to the
veracity of the rumors being circulated
about the city in regard to the reported
capturing of the slayer of the late Of
ficer Fred Widmann, who was muir
dered in the alley, back of the Coburn
gun shop last October.
The dead patrolman was shot down
by a burglar who was interrupted in
his work when the policeman APP
preached the rear of the Cobum store
at 2:SO o'clock on Sunday morning.
The murderer escaped and the officers
clue that would lead ITO the capture
of the guilty party, altho large re-
wards were offered by the city and
state.
ellis Vivid Story.
Now after a year of silence the
woman makes clean sweep of the
matter by confessing that her husband
is the man who murdered Fred Wild
mann on the night he was shot to
death, from behind an ambuscaide of
dry goods boxes. She called up Chief
Of Police Leighton Monday and told
him her husband was the murderer
that she accompanied him on the night
Of the robbery dressed in male at
tire, and guarded the front entrance
Of the store while her husband effect
ed an entrance thru the rear door. She
states she was forced to assist in the
work by her husband at the point of a
gum and that she has knowledge OF
the location of the spot where the re.
volver, clothing, kit of tools and othel
articles were buried after the murder
was committed
Police Investigating.
The chief is Investigating the asser.
tions brought out in THE confession O
the woman and has visited her twic,
to secure added information that would
prove of value in convicthng the mar
suspected of the crime. The informa
| tlon rurnlShed IN her voluntary con
fession was not given under oath. bu
she persists what she has told TIN
officials is true and can not be shaker
| in her statements.
Inclined to Discredit Story.
Altho the officers are working on tn
case, they are inclined ito discredit tn
statements made by the woman, bein
of the opinion that she has some mo
tive in wishing to connect her hus
band with the crime. She made SINH
lar statement on a former occasion t
the police, but did not give the detail
as has been furnished in her presen
alleged confession. The officers fee
that they can not afford to totally dis
regard the story, and will further in
vestigate the truth of the assertion
made by the woman.

oldest families and one of the best
known business and real estate men of
