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

Hartford City, Ind.-Six years ago
this month Mrs. Ray M. Krause con-
fessed she killed her step-daughter,
Crystal Krause, but she is preparing
to prove, IL 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 suit
for divorce filed by her husband w.
K. Krause. The wife'J 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 di.
vorce long ago, but that love for his
wife and a desire to help her in her
trouble caused him to delay II. He
SAID 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 1t
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 cen
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 DR..
w. H. Alderman, a prominent physi-
clan. Two notes, purporting to have
been written by Crystal, were found
ard these indicated she had killed
herself.
Within a week 1t 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
of 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
q drug store for Mrs. Ray Krause and
bought rat poison. A coroner'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.
Confesses Killing Girl.
Her statement in part follows:
while have said that was guilty
of the deed, at the time 1 did not
realize the awfulness of the crime,
nr did 1 give thought of what the
consequences would be to our home,
Crystal, my husband or myself; I did
not stop to consider; if had thought
it over, 1t would never have been
| done.
81 could think of nothing but just
1 to do it. I-tried to get away from 1t,
but each time it would come back SO
much stronger. AS l look back now
