SOLDIERS HOME
Gen. Beadle Gives Interesting
Account of Life at The
SOLDIER Home.

Madison, $. d., Nov. 18.-To the
Editor: As | am about to return to
the State Soldiers Home at Hot
Springs after two weeks absence on
personal business, may ] ask that you
put that institution right before the
people and especially the old soldiers
of the state. 1t has a body of old
soldiers in its care that are worthy,
and a body of s%ingularly worthy and
capable officers over ii generally and
its several departments. 1t is located
in the beet climate the state affords
and Is managed and governed by a
wise board and by q commandant
and edjutant who are devoted to the
" elfare of every member, as are all
the other officers and employees. Col
onel T. q. Orr is a kindly, capable
and assiduous superintendent. who
gives his whole time to the care and
welfare CT the men. He has cares
enough to weary the ablest man and
many questions are brought to him
for decision or advice that are who'll
ly personal and private in nature and
do not belong to his official duty.
His kindly and frankness
meet all cases admirably and the
subordinate officers and assistants are
most ready and helpful in sharing
the cares.
The other places are all admirably
filled with men and women peculiar
ly adapted to their stations and they
are ell liked by every body, and the
lives of the members of the home are
rendered cheerful and bright by the
women assistants in their places.
Remembering that all members are
comparative old. several in the
nineties and many in the eighties and
seventies and many burdened by some
form of i'll health, it will be easily in
ferred that the hospital has many in
mates and that death and the funeral
are to be expected, while very many
require some consultation and pre-
scription at the daily sick calls. Here
the capable, humane and experienced
physician, DR.. Fl. III. Wilcox, surgeon
of the home, finds his life very busy

DEATH CALLS
Mrs. Kaufman of Sioux Falls
Principal in Two Murder
Trials.

Sioux Falls. Nov. 1S.-At the fam
ily residence in Sioux Falls yesterday
morning occurred the death of Mrs
Emma Kaufmann. principal in two
sensational trials for the alleged muir
der of Agnes Polreis. her domestic.
Mrs. Kaufmann's death resulted from
a general break down, sustained some
months ago, since which time she had
been gradually failing. AT the time
of her death she was but a shadow of
her former self and was almost a
walking skeleton.
1t was 10 June, 1906, that the arrest
of Mrs. Kaufman occurred. She was
charged with having Caused the death
OF her 16-year-old domestic by a series
of cruelties and the consequent trials
created nation wide interest. The
story of her arrest. and the nature of
the charge against her, also was widely
published in European papers. Sioux
Falls people who were travelling in
Italy at that time had their irst in
formation of the arrest from Italian
newspapers which printed long cable
dispatches ABOUT the case,
Because of the sentiment against
Mrs. Kaufman in her home city and
county a change of venue was taken to
the state circuit court of Moody
county, where her first trial took place.
with Judge Z. q. Smith, now member
of state supreme court, presiding.
After a sensational trial lasting
three weeks. Mrs. Kaufman was
convicted of granddaughter in the
second degree. She never was sen
fenced on this charge but took an
appeal and was granted a new trial,
which also took place at Flandreau,
the county seat CT Moody county.
The second trial was rs holly contest
ed as the first and resulted in her
conviction on a charge of simple bat
terry, a fine of 800 being imposed.
Judge Rice of Deadwood presided at
the second trial.
Upon her acquittal Mrs. Kaufman
resumed her residence in Sioux Falls
and remained here up to the time of
her death. Moses Kaufman, her
husband died suddenly a year or two
ago ON the street, of heart failure.
A son, Charles. survives the father

1t was the Kaufman case which
brought de, rye w. Egan into South
Dakota, as an assistant to the prose

case a political issue in the county
and state for a time, claiming that
Mrs. Kaufman and her husband had
been protected by certain political in
~fuences because of their wealth and
position.
