DEH1AL-0F GUILD DOCTOR Haldane Cleminson Now Says Wife Ended Life to 1 Avoid Disgrace. HIS THIRD "CONFESSION" Physician's Statement to Police Is Liable to Cause Gallows Ver dict, as JDld Noted Gentry Case Bonds Denied. CHICAGO. June 2. (Special.) If the example of the famous Louise Gentry murder case shall be held to count for anything In the case of Dr. Haldane Cleminson, It may be held that the physician, who Is accused of the murder of his wife, today did a thlngr that moved him, several steps nearer the (fallows. In his easrer desire to show that his wife committed suicide, Dr. Clemin son openly defamed her memory and denied the paternity of her unborn i-hlld. It was for an act similar to this that a Jury convicted Frank Constantlne of the murder of Mrs. Gentry, and the police have seized upon the terrible declaration of Dr. Cleminson as their heaviest and surest weapon in the ef fort they are making to establish his fcullt. The charges uttered by Dr. Clemin son, If viewed in any other light than that of his present desperate position, would seem almost beneath the lowest reach of human thougrht. According to his story, his home had been, for up wards of two years preceding his wife's tragic death, a veritable pit of torture. Love and respect and every tender emotion had fled his fireside, and In their stead has come aversion, dislike, and even hatred. There was not one thing that the physician and Mrs. Cleminson held in common. They had ceased to be as man and wife, and they continued to dwell together under one roof solely because of an exaggerated fear of the world's criticism. Long ago the doctor had told his wife that he no longer held sacred his mar riage vows. She knew that he sought the company of other women, upon the basis of free will, and that he viewed her only as a great stumbling block in his path. And at the end she came to know that he believed, or professed to believe, that she was about .to bring Into the world an infant that he must recognlz? as his own, though it was not of his blood. Sufficient this, as Dr. Cleminson stated to Captain of Police Kone, why his wife should wish to end the mockery and misery of the life ehe liad been forced to endure. And suffi cient reason, ateo. as Captain Kane promptly declared, why Dr. Cleminson should wish to rid himself of so pain ful a connection. Dr. Cleminson has now made thres 'confessions." The first was that hln story of burglars murdering his wife was untrue. Uhe second that distant relatives of hl wife murdered her, nam ing five persons he suspected, and the third that she committed Rulclde. This afternoon he was formally arraigned, charged with her murder, and held with out bond. Morphine caused the death of Mrs. Cleminson. according to a preliminary report made tonight. Dr. Cleminson had said that his wife was killed by chloro form and that he also suffered ill effects from chloroform administered by robbers. W. G. GALDER MARRIES OUEGOX MRS. TIMBERMAX WEDS A. B.
