SMALL BOY KILLED
MOTHER BY SHOOTING
Distressing Accident Occurred
In Brown County Home
Yesterday

New Ulm, June 14.-Mrs. George
kretsch, wife of we'll known farmer
of Sigel township living about nine
miles southwest of this city, was acct
dentally shot and killed by her eight
year old son yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Kretsch was cleaning his rifle, and
during the process set it on the floor
and left the room for a moment. Dur
ing his absence the boy picked it up
and snapped the trigger. The weapon
was discharged, the bullet striking
the mother in the temple, killing her
instantly.
Mr.. Kretsch, who was in the pantry
looking for ramrod, heard the report
and rushing out, found his wife lying
on the floor dead.
A young daughter, who witnessed
the killing, verified the story of the
shooting. Deputy Sheriff Jahnke and
DR.. G.. F. Reineke, coroner, were noti-
fed of the accident and Immediately
went to the Kretsch home, where they
made an investigation.
They were satisfied that the affair
was purely an accident, and that an
| inquest was unnecessary.
| Mrs. Kretsch was about thirty five
years old, and leaves, besides heI
husband, two children, the young son
and a daughter.

Rich Defendant Is Accused OF
First Degree Mirth
ECHO OF MOORE CASE
Accused Looks Like Haggard,
Distressed Man; Not Now
Deb0nair
UNITED Press Dispatch

From Thursdays Daily.
ST. Paul, June 14.-F. J. Dunn, hus-
band of Mrs. Alice Dunn, today
faced an ordeal similar to that gone
through by Joe Redenbaugh, confessed
slayer of Mrs. Dunn and of Mike
Moore, convicted of completely as 60
between. Dunn, charged with first de-
gree murder, will bear the load thrown
on him by the revelations of REDEEM
baugh and Moore, in his trial starting
today.
Dunn has remained silent during
recent long weeks while Redenbaugh
and Moore testified concerning the
blood money and the dickering over
the price to be placed on Mrs. Dunn's
head. Charges that Dunn wished his
wife out Of the way to leave him free
to marry and to end the $40 month
alimony will be hurled at the husband
of the murdered woman when he faces
the jury that is to be chosen today.
Looks Much Older.
Dunn looked many years older to-
day than when he was arrested April
26. He is much thinner, his eyes are
sunken and his complexion is very
pale in contrast to it's former rosy hue,
his entire appearance being that OF
haggard, distressed man.
Either the effect of Jail confinement,
the charge against him or Moore's
conviction is telling upon the accused
man.
Dunn pulled his soft, black hat far
down over his eyes on the way to the
courthouse and walked briskly. He
was handcuffed to deputy sheriffs. The
crowd at the Jail swarmed about Dunn
and followed him to the courthouse.
| Many men and women pushed for
ward in the hall on the fourth floor of
the courthouse to look at Dunn. When
| he was taken into the courtroom the
crowd rose, peering curiously at him.
Testimony Will Be Repeated.
Much of the testimony introduced in
the Moore trial last week will be re-
peated in the Dunn case. County At
! torney O'Brien says he will put Moore
on the stand as one of the states wit
nesses Redenbaugh, now serving
life sentence in the penitentiary, also
will testify and probably Frank Nc
| Cool. now on trial in Minneapolis,
charged with Staying Patrolman Con-
! merry two days before Mrs. Dunn was
killed. William Hickey, one of the star
witnesses for the state against Moore
will again testify against Dunn.
Doyle, indicted with Moore, Dunn,
Redenbaugh and McCoOl in connection
with the Dunn murder is still at large,
but police officials hope to arrest him
before the Dunn trial ends.
| AL Brown and S. C.. Fertlg OF Mon
tana, who allege they blaekmailed
Dunn out of $4,000 in 1915, when he
plotted with them to murder his wife
are also expected to return to st. Paul
as states witnesses.
