BLAME CRIME ON
STERNWEIS WIFE
Dubuque Authorities Divided as
To Who Committed Whole
sale Murder.

Dubuque, Iowa, Aug. 90. - Ten
hairpins were found yesterday
among the ashes of the Sternweise
barn where one of the adult bodies
was discovered after the fire, which
caused the death of five persons Thurs
day at the Sternweis home, IS miles
northwest of here. Possibility that the
hairpins may have belonged to Mrs.
Sternweis is being considered in the
efforts to determine which died first,
Mrs. Sternweis or her husband.
1t was first believed that the body
found in the barn was that of Stern
weis, who, officers thought slew his
family.
The question of which died first
will settle the disposition of the es-
tate. If the husband died first the
heirs of the wife will share about
$4,000 or one-third of the estate. If
the woman died first her heirs will get
none of her husbands property.
Fixing responsibility for the deaths
and fire also is involved in the iden-
tification of the body found in the barn
