ooNr fSSES KILLING SON-N-LAW
Nm Insulted Her, Says Woman
Under Arrest.

Mobile, Ala, Dec. 31.-Arrested
within few minutes after the bloody
remains of her son-in-law, Frederick
Wasserlaben, had been found in a
pond near the western city limits,
Mrs. Mary L. Godau tonight made a
full confession of the deed. Wasser-
laDen had been shot three times,
twice through the head and once
through the arm. The killing occur
red at the home Of Wasserlabenn, af-
ter, according to the confession, in
sulting remarks were made to Mrs.
Godau.
Describes Shooting.
AS result of the alleged insult,
Mrs. Godau says she saw Wasserla-
ben's gun on hall rack, picked it
up and returned to the room. 81
raised the pistol and, looking him
straight in the face, pulled the trig-
ger. I thought I would do a good
job while was at it, so I pulled the
trigger again."
Subsequently, Mrs. Godau took the
body in wagon and dumped it into
the pond, where it was discovered.
Last Husband Murdered.
Mrs. Godau has been married three
times. Joseph, Godau, her last hus-
band, was murdered in a manner
similar to the deed of to-day, but the
graud jury failed. to indict her. An
other husband, named Steiner, mys-
teriously disappeared.
AS result of the finding of the
badly mutilated body of Wasserla-
ben floating in pool near the west
ern limits of this city this morning,
the dead mans wife and Mrs. Mary
T. Godau, his mother-in-law, were
placed under arrest, charged with
the crime.
Head Battered.
Two bullet wounds were found in
the head and one in the arm of the
dead man, and his head had been
horribly battered, apparently with
some blunt instrument.
Several hours after the finding of
the body a number Of garments sat
urated with blood were unearthed
under the Wasserlaben home, about
a mile from the pool where the body
was found.
-. Correct Theory, ,s.s..,, >r7a.
It was the theory that Wasserla-
ben was killed in his home and the
body carried to the place where 1t
was found. In an effort to avoid
detection, it was believed, the bloody
clothing was brought back to the
dead mans home and concealed.
Mrs. Wasserlaben, in statement
made before her mothers confession,
declared that she knew nothing OF
the affair until advised of the find
ing of the body. She asserted that
she last saw her husband at noon
yesterday. Mrs. Godau at first re-
fused to make any statement, but
nfeSsed later.

WHEN HIS VOICE CHANGED

My 15-year- old son." says Mrs. I.
c. Sherman, whose home is in Brook
Ign, caught bad cold just when his
voice was changing and could not
get rid of it for about a year Vinol
was the only medicine that did him
any good and 1t was just what he
needed to drive his cough away and
build up his strength.
If he had taken VinoI sooner he
would have been spared a whole lot of
annoyance and suffering.
Bronchitis cough Is simply a sign
Of bodily weakness. When you build
up the bodily strength and enrich the
blood with Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron preparation without oil,
the cough is bound to disappear,
It is really the only natural and
right way to get rid of these bron-
ohial coughs that hang on so long.
In all weakened and run down con-
ditions Of the body, whether in men.
women or children Vinol is exactly
what is needed to bring back strength.
We guarantee 60 give back your money
if Vinol does not help you. Broadway

NEW LONDON ADDS
QUARTER TO GRAND LIST.
Raised 5000 Pieces of Property. Max
ing Total u Million Instead of 10
Million.


The New London board of assessors
held meeting Monday night with the
special tax committee and announced
that they had completed the revision
or the tax list for 1912
The assessors were confronted with
the necessity Of raising $50, 900 year
more revenue to meet city expenses.
II is understood that the members of
Tn special committee agree that the
assessors have performed their duties
Well, as well as any body of men could
have done. The assessors have gone
over every individual piece of property
In the city and endeavOred to make
the valuations equable. Some have
been slightly increased, many rs per
cent, and a few as much as 100 per
cent.
The grand list has been increased
from approximately $16.00O,000 to $21,-
100000, which with a levy of 16 mills
will bring in about $50, 600 year more
than heretofore.
AS nearly every piece of property
in the city has been changed in val
uation. over 5000 notices will have
to be sent out to owners of property.
The tax list is required by law to be
in the hands of the board of relief by
Feb. 1. The board of relief is in ses-
sion until Feb. II. 1t is not believed
that there will be many appeals for
reduction of assessments.

Chairman Comstock of this city,

that the IA delegates to the national

says the New Haven Union.
Governor Baldwin fills the bill" he

who is nominated at the Baltimore
convention. I do not pretend to be the
boss of the committee and cannot say
what their action will be. At present
it looks as though the state conven-
tions for the election of delegates to
the national convention viii go to
Hartford with the convention for the
election of the state ticket to be held
at New Haven. If there is no possi-
bility of Governor Baldwin securing
the nomination for president, we will
make him the gubernatorial candidate.
