Emil Steinke
Seeks Divorce
Emil Steinke Files Suit for Divorce
from Frances Steinke Through
Attorney This Morning.

A divorce case dismissed in the Ke-
nosha circuit court more than ten
years ago was recalled this morning
when Emil Steinke filed suit for di-
vorce from his wife, Frances Steinke,
on the grounds of cruel and inhuman
treatment. In 1910, Steinke was de-
PENDANT in divorce suit filed by his
wife on similar charge which after
hearing was dismissed. The plain
tiff in the suit filed today alleges that
since that time his wife, Frances
Steinke, has treated him unjustly and
asks that the wedding bonds. be now
dissolved. The two were married in
Germany, February 10, 1894, and have
liven in Kenosha most of their mar
ried life. They have three children,
all Of them now grown. Recently
Steinke moved to Milwaukee, as he
says, to try to affect reconciliation.
He asks that he be given all the prop
erty, consisting Of real estate in Ke-
nosha.

ASKS RECORDS
IN BOGWILO CASE
Prison Officials Initiate
Movement for Release
of Bogwilo.

That the officials of the Wisconsin
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Waupun have initiated an investi-
CATION into the mental condition Of
Julius Bogwilo Of Kenosha, who was
sent to the institution after he had
been found mot guilty" of charge
of numbering his wife, Mary Bogwilo,
because the jury believed him insane,
was shown this morning when the
warden of the state prison made a de-
mand on the Office Of the clerk of the
circuit court here for full transcript
of the evidence in the Bogwilo case
and with it transcript of the pro-
ceedings of the special board of ex-
an1iners which investigated the sanity
of Bogwilo during the trial here.
Under the state law the experts Of
the state hospitals have the right to
initiate an examination into the mem
tai condition Of any patient and it is
possible that Bogwilo may be released
some time in the near future.
Transcript Is Long One.
The transcript which must be for
warded to the prison officials is one of
the largest records ever made of a
case in the circuit court of Kenosha
county. 1t contains all the evidence
presented by the witnesses called by
the state and the defense. 1t is under
stood that this evidence showing the
history of Bogwilo, is considered as
most important to the physicians now
making the examination at the state
hospital for the criminal insane.
Il have heard nothing Of the action
taken by the prison officials" said
Frank s. Symmonds, one of the attor-
fneys who defended Bogwilo at the
trial 1T is entirely within the pro-
vince of the official duties Of these
officials to make an examination any
time they see fit. | have been con
WINGED that there is no legal right for
the holding of Bogwilo in the asylum
and am convinced that he will be
released at an early time"

Bogwilo was committed to the state
AAOoPltaA az W q upuh OiI TIE UIuEESe Oh
Judge Quinlan of Marinette and he,
was the first defendant on a charge of
murder to be subject to such COM
mitment in this county. Reports from
the hospital are that Bogwilo has been
a model prisoner and patient. A
trained mechanic he has been employed
in the garage at the hospital and he
has been Of great value to the officials.
Attorneys for Rogliwo had been plan
ming to make a demand for an ex-
animation into his mental condition,
but if such an investigation is being
made on the initiative of the officials
it will no the necessary for the attor-
neys to act. 1t is possible that they
will appear before the examining
board before a final report on the con-
dition of Bogwilo is made. Bogwilo
has been in the hospital for little
over three months.
