last July and went to the Mexican Dor
der. 1t was while he was on guard
at the. State Capitol two months ago

Mrs. Biller first married man
named Lowry, but had divorced him
and married Perry Louden She had
separated from him and intended to
get a divorce, but stopped court pro-
Ceedings when she learned that he
was dying at Wasau, Wis, of tubercu-
losis.
Brinkbock knew these facts about
his affinity, but was SO infatuated that
he scoffed at the advice of his brother
George, city fireman, at whose home
he lived. She's a vampire, Bill, and
she'll get YOU George says he warm
ed his brother, but William continued
with his love affair.
A month ago. in order that he might
spend more time with his sweetheart,
William deserted from the army, &C
cording to his brother. That started
the quarrel between the pair.
In BrinkbOck's pocket with the note
was found a gold locket bearing the
initials &C. L." In it were the re-
mains of two pictures Of the murdered
woman. The face had been slashed
and mutilated in each and little note
