GAINESVILLE HAS A
MURDER MYSTERY
Two Boys Held in Death Of
Matilda Beresterman.
MAKE PARTIAL CONFESSION
Harry Beager, Aged 10. and Ed.
Meyer. Aged n ADMIT They We're
With Woman on Fatal Night and
That They Lett Her Dead.

Evansville Additional mystery
Bereresterman, who was supposed to
have been murdered in the kitchen
OF her fathers home, resulted in the
arrest of Harry Berger, II years old.
and Edwin Meyer, 10 years, in con-
nection with the case. Fred Berest-
erman. the father, is now in jail,
charged with his daughters death.
The two young men tell story,
in signed statement, which coin
cides to some extent with that told
by Bereresterman. They say they met
Bereresterman, who was on his way
home while in an intoxicated condi-
ton, and that they assisted him to
his house, which Is on the outskirts
Of the city.
Arriving there, they were met by
Miss Bereresterman, with whom they
admit having improper relations.
They retired to the rear part Of the
house, and according to their story,
the young woman became uncon-
scious and, thinking she was dead,
they carriedh her into the front room
where they placed her on a couch,
after telling the father of her condi-
ton. Then they went to their homes.
When the police arrived at the
house the following morning, after
being notified of the young woman's
death by the father, her face was
battered and her body showed
numerous bruises as though she had
been kicked. A bloody hammer,
with which 1T is supposed she was
struck in the face, was found in the
house.
Berger and Meyer are unable to
account for the condition of the
young woman's body when found by
the police. but they say 1t is possible
that she was mistreated by her father
after they left the house.

Man Believed Murdered.

Trempealeau.-The finding of the
body Of Arthur Grover, Sc years old,
pioneer of this place, on the Bur-
lington tracks. leads the authorities
to suspect murder, for with the ex-
ception of broken leg there was no
other signs of being struck by a
train. firing OF waiting for a night
train at East Winola, Grover started
to walk home down the railroad
track and was within six blocks Of
his destination whom he met his

SAYS CRIMINALS

Madison.--That from rs to 60 per
institutions are not above the class
of high grade imbeciles, and from
these people spring a great majority
of the criminals of the world, were
two Of the significant statements
made here last night by President
Walter F. Greennan OF Milwaukee at
the Wisconsin State Conference of
Charities and Corrections. which Is
meeting here in cooperation with
the extension division of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
These persons never become ca
pable of self-control, and deeds Of
violence, arson and murder imme-
diately follow upon their release
class are proved to have fecundity
about double that of normal women
The progeny of such parents Is
tainted with feeblemindedness. So
the stream of the unfit widens daily"
declared President Greenman.
These people should be segregat-
ed according to sex in colonies OF
fifty upon farms" continued the
speaker. They should be committed
on an indeterminate sentence. They
can live happy and harmless lives,
mostly in the open upon such farms.
They would be almost self-supporting
and the expense to the state would
not be one-twentieth what 1t now Is
to pay for court and police charges
with the expense of maintenance of
each delinquent and all his progeny
for several generations, because the
expense never stops with his death
unless he has been prevented from
becoming n parent.
THE lack of woman's reforma-
tory constitutes one OF the most
wasteful conditions in the state.
There are always from ten to twelve
girls in the state industrial school
at Milwaukee who must be released
on reaching 81 years Of age, but who
are manifestly unfit to be returned
to the community at large. For wom-
en- over eighteen years OF age we
only have Waupun, the county jails
and houses OF correction. or course,
some of the women committed to
these places may already be hard
ened criminals; but IL woman Is
not already hopeless we condemn her
to life OF habtual crime by COM
hitting her under the law to exist
ing institutions. In recognition of
this CHASTITY fact. some judges con-
TESS to their reluctance to commit
and frequently suspend sentence,
turning the delinquent woman back
to her evil environment until she is
again arrested for something worse
so that she may be sent to Wau-
pun"
President Greenman says there is
only one solution for the present ap-
palling state of affairs in reference
to Wisconsin's treatment OF her
criminals, delinquents and unfit. He
proposes to have the state legislature
appropriate funds for the mainte-
nance of board of control which
Is to consist of five members hold
ing Office during good behavior. One
member should be an expert on lun-
acy, one on penology. one in char
ity and one in finance, besides one
named az president.
