TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, October
25-Alfred Madison of Buckley, Mich,
alleged to have confessed to killing
his wife with a hammer July "a, now
appears to be a bigamist as well,
according to a statement by authori-
ties here who examined his effects.
When arrested by Sheriff D. R.
Campbell, Madison told the officer
that he had been married to the
woman he killed three years. In 60
ing through his effects a marriage
license issued to himself and Mar
garet Krupp at Muskegon Heights,
Mich, July 20, 1918, was found by
officers. A letter also was found, in
answer to an inquiry made by Madi-
sons mother, from the county clerk
OF Muskegon County, saying that AL
fred Madison was divorced by his first
Wife on February 10, 1923. An at
tempt is now being made by officers
to get in touch with Madison's first
wife.
Madison's effects also showed that
he attracted women to him. Scores
OF autographed photographs from
young women in Michigan, Iowa, the
Dakotas and Minnesota were dis
closed A search Of his trunk also
revealed that he was ambitious to
become scenario writer
Madison was arraigned at Cadillac
yesterday and waived examination
He told them, officers say, that he
killed his wife and then thought to
divert suspicion from himself by
identifying the body when it was
found in river near here last week
He also offered aid to the officers and
led them on a false search for the
supposed murderer with the same in
tent, police assert he told them.

Mrs. Isabelle Russell

The death of Mrs. Isabelle Russell
occurred Wednesday, April End, at her
home in Kintire township. Her death
was caused by an attack of heart
trouble brought on by influenza from
which she had suffered for about three
weeks.
The burial service was held at the
home Friday, April 4th at one-thirty
o'clock with DR.. A. w. Ross pastor
of the Redwood Falls Presbyterian
Church in charge. Burial was made
in the Redwood Falls cemetery.
Isabelle Alexander was born in
Berwickshire, Scotland, November
3rd., 1916 and with her parents and
her two brothers, Adam and David,
she came to Ontario, Canada when
only three years old. The mother
died just after the family reached its
new home. When she reached woman
hood the deceased was united in mar
riage to John Russell and to them
were born eight children. The seven
surviving children are Mrs. Jas. John
son of Chamberlain, Can, Mrs. Roy
Johnson of Ray, N. D., Mrs. John
Blanchard of Delhi, Mrs. Sherman
Payne of Belview and William, John
and George all residing at home. Mr..
Russell passed away many years ago
while the family still resided in Can
ada. Following his death Mrs. Rus

sell and her family came to Redwood
County and settled on the farm where
she lived up until the time Of her
death.
Mrs. Russell was well known as
a devoted Christian woman. She liv-
ed her religion in her everyday life,
always doing for others and never
thinking of herself. 1t can truly be
said of her, "She worked as though
she would live forever, but lived as
though she would die tomorrow" Just
an hour before she died she asked to
be raised in her bed and repeated dis
tinctly the following lines:
The hour of my departure comes,
I hear voice that calls me home;
Now, Oh my Lord, let trouble cease
And let thy servant die in peace.
She will be greatly missed in the
home circle and by her many friends
who join in expressing their sympathy
to the bereaved family.
