New London, Sept 24-With the town election less than a month away, and with both parties having completed the nominations, thee seems to be less setivi- ry than ever before on the democratic side. They do not seem to warm up to the candidates although they are up to the standard insofar as goes the candi- dates for membership in the court of common council and that is saying po- litical mouthfui. Surely there have been many really good fellows in the eeun- cil since the inauguration of the ward system. but they do not seem to be of as solid material as prevailed in the old days when representative business men made up the council and conducted the city business with the same care and attention that they did their private business They made study of munich pal affairs and were competent to intelii- gently discuss every matter that was introduced in the council
 They an took part in the proceedings. and there was no following of a leader, whether that leader be right or wrong. When candidates were chosen 1t was by reason of their fitness for office rather than their ability as vote-getters. Be- fore the days of ward politics every rec ommendatlon for appropriation was thoroughly understood by every member of the council before the recommends ton was allowed to be presented to . city meeting for action. Even in city meeting members of the council were opposed to each other when council 'Fecomnenda- tions were under consideration.

ing to wait few years and let life and
death take their natural course.
But the District Attorney says he has
arguments to overthrow all these. He
maintains that had Mrs. Duffies's parents
and her husbands father lived, at least a
part of their wealth would have been di.
yerted from the Freudenberg family. He
claims to have evidence that the elder Mr..
Duffies's death came just in time to pre-
vent his making a will bequeathing the
bulk of his estate to a brother in Wash
ington.
And had Mrs Duties lived, the District
Attorney contends, she would have mar
ried again and in this way still more Of
the money would have gone to others
According to the case which rests on
these theories, four lives stood between
DR.. Freudenberg and the virtual possession
of a 100000 fortune-the lives of Mr.. and
Mrs Perry, the elder Mr.. Duties and Mrs.
Nettee Duties. And the District Attorney
will undertake to prove the physician de-
liberately snuffed out these four lives one
after the other with fendish cruelty.
Something that makes this amazing case
still more amazing is the attitude Of Gladys
Freudenberg, the doctors wife.
Immediately after her mothers death Il
is said that she openly charged that her
husband was responsible for t. Yet since
the coroner's inquest and the doctors ar
rest, she has been strong in defense OF his
innocence. After his indictment she drove
The Washington times., 1920-02-01

DIR. Freudenberg, the central figure in
this strange case, is thirty-seven years
old. He was a total stranger to Markesan
when he settled and began practice there
several years ago.
He was graduated from the Loyola UNI
versity Medical School in Chicago In 1912.
Before his graduation he sued young
woman for the value of diamond ring
and other presents which he had given
her. Later he was involved in suit over
alleged malpractice.
The most striking feature about the doc
tors personal appearance are his eyes
very large. very brown, very lustrous
They are what the girls OF Markesan like
to describe as "mysteriously dreamy
In speech and manner he gives no evil
dences OF being anything but the mildest.
most eventempered Of men. There Is a
gentle. kindly way about him that makes
Il hard for many of his neighbors to be-
lieye him capable OF wishing harm to any
one, much less of planning and putting IL
into deadly execution.
If this mild.mannered man Is guilty of
the crime with which he Is charged--if he
did inject the mustard solution into his
mother-in-law's bladder and stand calmly
by while she writhed IN the death agonles
which Il caused-he is certainly one Of
the strangest complexes OF good and evil
which criminology has ever had the OPP
portunity Of studying.

fed that the scar tissue present in the
bladder was the result of something that
had burned the tissue. When asked
whether a solution Of bismuth and argyrol
would product such condition he said:
Most emphatically, no. But mustard
would produce just such condition.
II Mrs Duties was murdered then
II is not unreasonable to suspect
that the deaths Of her parents and her hus-
bands father were also due to unnatural
causes. This can be determined only by
exhumation OF the bodies and careful ex-
animation Of their vital organs for signs
that the medicines" with which DIR. Freu-
denberg had dosed them we're really poison.
But OF course. II the doctor should be
convicted of the murder OF Mrs. DUTIES II
will be unnecessary to go to the trouble
OF trying to fasten other crimes upon him.
What could have been the motive for
these murders, II murders they were?
Greed" says the District Attorney.
IAN uncomfortable itching on DR.. Freuden-
bergs part for the fortunes belonging to
his wife's family formed the motive for
the series OF crimes OF which Mrs. Duffies's
murder was probably the climax
Such a theory Is ridiculous, the doctors
friends maintain. Eventually his wife
would have inherited all this money, any
way. they argue; and DR.. Freudenberg Is
too sensible man not to have been will

that she must have died in paroxysms OF
agony.
Mustard, as everybody knows, is highly
irritating Two of its active principles,
when combined with water, produce
volatile oil powerful enough to blister the
toughest skin. In fact IL is almost wholly
for its irritant qualities that mustard Is
employed in medicine.
The bladder under normal conditions is
one Of the most delicate organs In the
human body. . In Mrs. Duffies's case II was
already inflamed by disease. Can anybody
imagine the excruciating pain which must
have followed the flooding Of the delicate
mucous surfaces that line the walls OF the
bladder with strong mustard solutionY
The wonder is that Mrs. Duties survived,
II the charge be true, the few hours that
she did

Anxiety about the childs
welfare overshadows even
the grief over her mothers
death and the worry over
her husbands predicament.
Can it be that mother

heights in Mrs. Freuden-

save her little daughter

But it is not surprising to find the wife

If she may have had doubts and misgiv-
