FATHER POISONS
SICK DAUGHTER,
ENDS own LIFE
WORRY OVER CONDITION
OF GIRL RESULTS
IN TRAGEDY

Springfield-Worrying over the
condition of his invalid daughter,
caused Ernest Otto, an inmate Of
st. Johns Old Folks home, to end
the lives of both via the poison
route, The details of the tragedy
will never be known, but note
was left explaining the motive Of
the act.
Mr.. Otto, "a, lived at the home
with his Al year old daughter, Err
ma. They came to Springfield in
1893. The daughter was in feeble
health and of feeble mind. The
father was in good health, but
worry over his daughters condi-
ton undermined his reason. He
feared that should he die his
daughter would have no one to
care for her and in his insane de-
luSionS in some unknown manner
he administered poison to himself
and to her.
When the man and the woman
failed to appear at the breakfast
table a nurse went to their room
to find out what was OBTAINING
them. Entering, she found them
on their beds unconscious. The
man died just as medical aid ar
rived. The daughter was in a
stuper, but did not die until the
following day. Neither the attend
ing physician nor the coroner
could determine what kind of
poison had been used or where it
had been obtained.
That the old man had no guilty
conscience was evidenced by the
note which he left. It was ad-
dressed to his God and expressed
the long-cherished hope that he
might outlive the daughter so as
to be able to care for her and the
realization that such might not be
the case. Therefore, he argued, he
felt that he was helping God to
accomplish what was best for the
daughter.
Both father and daughter ap-
peared at the supper table the
previous evening at which time
there was nothing unusual about
their actions. After they had eat
en- they went to their room and he
placed several pieces on his phon-
ograph before he retired. A nurse
locked the door in the evening
and the old man called "good
night" The bodies were taken to
Waverly, Iowa, for burial.

expected guest last night Of officers

a strange pilot who made perfect
landing in dense fog on the war Of
flee property. To their amazement
the famous American flyer stepped
from the plane.
Greatest secrecy was maintained at
Sealand while the British officers en-
tertained their distinguished visitor.
News OF Lindbergh's whereabouts was
not made known for nearly "a hours,
after night and day of near-alarm
resulting from absence of any report
of the colonel.
After the plane was wheeled into
hangar, Capt. Norton and a group of
fellow officers at the airdrome, were
hosts to Lindbergh at dinner.
The colonel had hoped to resume
his flight today, but bad weather kept
him on the ground. It was uncertain
whether he would drive by automobile
to his home, Seven Oaks, in Kent.
Hes been a welcome visitor" said
Capt. Norton, "he knows all about the
game"
Sealand Airdrome has been host to
other famous flyers. Post and Gatty
