Able to Appear on Thursday-Gives
Signed Statement to Police Officials,

The inquest over the body Of John
HIM shot and killed by Mrs. Constan-
tia Benerowicz on Monday night,
which was to have been held this morn
ing was adjourned until Thursday
morning by Coroner H. c. Millager this
morning. This action was made neces-
sary on account of the fact that Mrs.
Benerowicz is still in highly hysteri-
cal state and it was feared she would
be unable to make satisfactory state
ment of the facts surrounding the
shooting to the members of the coron-
er's jury
District Attorney Drury, who return"
ed to Kenosha on Tuesday, has started
his investigation of the case and while
he is satisfied with all that has been
done by the officials he will under the
oath of his Office insist on an investiga-
ton. There is little probability that
Mrs. Benerowicz will ever be arrested
on any charge in connection with the
shooting. The woman sat at her home
all day Tuesday and cried. She did not
seem to fear prosecution but she had
begun to realize the fact that the
man 8 death had been due to her act
and this made her hysterical Physi-
CLANS attended her during the day and
it was declared today that her condi-
ton was improved and that she would
be able to appear before the jury on
Thursday morning.
District Attorney Drury viii aid the
coroner in the conducting of the in
quest and every possible fact in con
nection with the case will be brought
out. Mrs. Benerowicz has made
complete signed statement of all her
relations with HIM to the police de-
partment. In this statement she shows
that the advances of HIM had been
going on for several months HIM,
while boarder at the house, had
sought to supercede the husband in the
affections of the wife and he had made
his presence in the house obnoxious to
such an extent that he had been or
dered to leave. In her statement Mrs.
DcucIOWlCL QGCldIGS budJ buIGt 1uUHIHS
ago HIM entered her room during the
absence of her husband and sought to
embrace and kiss her and that ne was
in her room when her husband returned
unexpectedly from his work. The hus-
band drove HIM from the house and
shot at him with revolver Him. ran
from the house and refused to returnI
to get his clothing. Records of the po-
lice department show that the case was,
reported at the time and Chief O Hare
sent an officer to the house to get the
clothing Of HIM and after this he NOV
ed to the boarding house on Bond
street. At the time Benerowicz declar-
ed to the police that he did not desire
to seek warrant for the arrest Of
HIM but that he wanted the police to
see to it that his wife was not an
noyed again. HIM was told by the
police that he must not go near the
home.
A half dozen witnesses have been
summoned for the inquest tomorrow.
Most of these people are witnesses who
saw HIM in the neighborhood of the
Benerowicz home end who had been
aware of his attentions toward the
wife.
No arrangements have been made
for the funeral of HIM. DIR. George
A. Pugh made a post norton examina-
ton of the body on Tuesday afternoon
and found that death had resulted from
loss of blood caused by the jugular
vein being pierced by bullet. He Will
be one of the witnesses at the inquest
tomorrow.
