STORY OF TRAGEDY
Rev. Beers Tells of Scene in
GlenwOod Hotel.
The Quarrel, Attack and the
Deadly Sequel.

We'll, Laura, if you can't go home
with me and live with me I'll do the
fair thing by you, I'll support you
This was what led to the last con-
Versation between himself and his wife,
according to the testimony of the Rev
w. L. Beers on the witness stand in
his own behalf this afternoon, that
ended in the tragic death of his wife.
I'll have to have Alice" he says his
wife answered, referring to their
youngest child.
What would you do with Alice7"
the minister said he asked
I'D put her in Voll Morgan's home"
he says she answered.
Who is VoI Morgan?' interposed
Schenck.
He is brother-in-law."
rs he a Catholic?''
His family is"
Where does he liver
Near Lexington"
TN never consent to have Alice ta-
ken from our home,' Beers says he
answered. III law till every cent is
gone before I'll give her up"
Did you want both your child and
your wife?'' was asked.
Yes, sir"
What did your wife do thenT'
She sprang over me and on me. She
struck me in the face with her fists
several times. She struck and scratched
was doing nothing before that I
was taken entirely by surprise. She
was screaming as she sprang over me.
The thought came to me that she was
getting me, getting the best of me. L
used both my hands to push her off.
1 put one hand against her left shoulder
and the other over her mouth and
pushed her off. L think the fingers
of the hand over her mouth slipped
into her mouth. I didn't mean that
they should"
Thus, answering questions, and in a
broken, pathetic voice, shaken with sobs.
the minister told for the first time his
own story of the tragedy that ended
in the death of his WIFE
Did you Intentionally place your
fingers in her mouth?'
II did not
Did you push her teeth down her
throat?"
mo, SIR
Did you intend to inture her?"
mo, sir, 1 did not
did you at that time still want
her to come back and live with you as
your wife?''
Yes, with all my heart"
