WIFE SLAYER FOUND GUILTY
Oshkosh Man Hears Jury's Finding
While Suffering From Paralysis
of the Body.

Oshkosh Guilty Of murder in the
first degree was the verdict OF the
jury in the case of Charles J. Clark,
charged with numbering his wife on
the street Aug. s, while she was on
her way to her employment, after hav-
ing left him. Clark shot himself after
killing his wife and one of the wounds
caused partial paralysis of his body,
so that he was obliged to rest upon a
couch while in court. He took the YER
dict without emotion. Clark main
tanned that he could not remember
having shot his wife, although he re-
called having met her on the street
and asking her to come back to him.
Testimony for the state was that
Clark had failed to contribute to the
support of his wife and three small
children and she had gone to the home
of her mother and was working in a
grass twine factory at the time of the
tragedy.

COED IS FATALLY BURNED
Miss Beatrice Foster, Macon1b, Ill,
Dies at Madison When Kimono
Catches Fire.

Madison-A burning match, which
she dropped upon her kimono, caused
the death of Miss Beatrice Foster,
Macomb, ILL.,, a junior coed at the Uni

Miss Foster was found in her room
at 134 w. Gorham street, enveloped IN
flames. Before the fire could be put
out she was fatally burned. She said
something about dropping a match on
her flimsy kimono, shortly before she
lost consciousness. She was taken oil
rectly to the Madison General hos
pital, but was so severely burned that
she died little over an hour after
ward.
The flames evidently spread over
Miss Fosters body very quickly. for It
was not many seconds after her
screams were heard by Mrs. Jessie 4.
Skinner, at whose home she was
rooming, that she was found in her
room in a mass of flames, already nor
rfbly burned. A burned match and
a half burned letter from her mother
were found on Miss Fosters desk.
Miss Foster had entered the library
school of the university as a Junior
from her home in Macomb. She was
initiated last week as a member OF
the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, but
was not living at the chapter house.
This was her first year at the unlVer-
Sity
