GREW OUT OF AN UNNATURAL MARRIAGE. A. Pretty Girl's Union to a Crippled Miner Ilia Chanced Nature A ly tcrlou Ucnth Llfo Imprisonment fur the Yoiitisr Wife. From Slgoumey, lown, coma the de tails of u tragedy yrowlnj; out of a union of lives lu which thcro was not a union of hearts. A youui; woman not yet )iO jeais of ige has beeu found guilty of poisoning her ctlppled hus baud and sentenced to spend the lest of her life at hard labor lu the State penitentiary. The youug woman's name Is Snrah Kuhn. She Is of ICugllsh parentage and her maldeu name was Crane. She was born and brought up on au Iowafarm. At It) she was sent out to earn her own living, and then began the sordid ro mance which has left her behind prison bars. It began when Sarah fell lu love with Andrew Smith, a broad-shouldered young farmer of little more than her own age, who 'was by no means to much lu love with her. For a year or Kft they went about together and the farmers' wives said no good of the girl. Then the young farmer's attachment cooled; and heio the cripple whom Sarah Is accused of murdering came luto the story. ' Charles Kuhn was wofully deform ed. , Inflammatory rheumatism had twisted his legs so as to bring the kuecs together no matter how ho stood, and ho walked with n corkscrew gait. Dcsldcs this disease hail left 0110 of his long arms entirely useless. He was known as a miserly, hard-working Ger man, who tolled early and late n his shoemaker's shop for sheer love of the money his lalior brought him and onto KUHN AND HIS WIPE ab ho wns past middle ago tho wags ofrj'kli bousMri.. Kuhn wm crying "Coma tho-dlstrlct often nmuBcd themieive by suggesting thut ho take to himself a wlfq. Tho old man did begin to think of marrying. Two years ago ho asked his nearest friend to And him n wife, nnd the friend he asked was tho broad shouldered young farmer, Andrew. Smith. Tho request camo at n tlmo when Smith wns growing tired of Sarah Crane; He thought over It and Anally promised to help tho old man to a wife. A month litter he told him that he had found him a girl and nt a Fourth of July celebration at Delta, near whero the cobbler lived, ho Intro duced him to Sarah Crane. Six mouth's later Kuhn asked tho girl to marry him. She told him ho was crazy and ordered him away. The cobbler Appeal ed to his friend Smith again. What persuasions Smith used to his sweet heart nobody knows, but three months later Kuhn and the girl were married. Smith's father, who Is a justice of (ho peace, married them, aud the only wit ness was Smith. Sarah'siarents, when they beard of tho match, declared that they would never see their daughter again. They kept their word till sho was In Jail. With the marriage the cobbler's hab its changed. He bought his wife ev erything she asked for and her neigh iKirs began to say that she had not "?"":"'.. v '.""I... ," " -i t...,u.. ii rut. i( Illllltf UIUI IIUMIMKU IICI lIJJlt7U JUnl JIItR.

' ,ron, J873 to I8X1 the flgures vailed The next nay a villager met mm com- Ing out or a lawyers omce in sigouo ney. "I've Just finished the best Job I ever did In my life," said the cobbler. AW "What wus that'" aoked the villager. "I've Just willed all I own to 'my wife" was the icply. jjf A mouth later the old man was dead. At her trial the will was made to tell strongly against his widow, though It was not shown that she Inspired, urg ed or sanctioned the action by a single word and It was pointed out by her lawyers that under the laws of tho State of Iowa, where a will Is made and the wife Is the benellclary In whole or In part, nnd It Is proved that bIio took the life of the testator, the will becomes Inopcratlvo so fur as sho Is concerned. A Fatal Trip. Labor day, nbout n month after the will was made, was the cobbler's last. On that day he and his wife drove to an entertainment at What Cheer. Noth ing was developed nt the trial to show that the wife planned or suggested the trip. Whllo the couple were In the village the husband purchased a dozen bottles of beer,, which he plftcotl In his buggy. Ho left his wife alone In It later, while he wnndeted nbout the streets. Then they started home. What occurred on tho drive ouly the wife has told. "When we were a short way out of town," she told the sheriff afterward, "Charley opened a bottle of beer nnd we Iwth drank some. He was In a good humor and after llnlshlng that bottle he asked me to sing him a German song I knew. I held the reins nnd sang while he opened the second bottle. He Joined In the chorus. He drank from the secoml bottle nnd tjion ho passed It to me, snylng that Itlasted bitten. I drank a little, but not much, and he drank more. Then ho set the bottle down, and I saw that something was wrong. He lay on his side mumbling. I thought the beer had gone to his head. When wo got near old man Snyder's house he began to cry that I had poi soned him. Theeu I shouted, too, nnd Snyder came out Into the road." Snyder wns the principal witness agaalnst tho woman nt her trial. Ho tostllled that when tho buggy reached AND TUB FATED RIG. quick, my husband Is dying." He camo to tho buggy nnd Kuhn told him to take tho relus and drive as fast as ho could to tho doctor's, becauso he'd been poi soned. "What else did ho say?" said tho county prosecutor. "Well," saJd tho witness, "I hesitated about taking tho relus. Ills wife wild sho didn't know what was tho matter with him, but he'd been drinking beer aud eating bologna, so I climbed Into tho buggy aud drovo toward tho doc tor's. When wo got pretty well down to tho placo whero you turn I asked whothcr wo should go to tho doctor's or home, nnd his wlfo said It would bo hotter to take him homo. Then ho cried, 'No, tako mo to Dr. Ilusby's; sho's poisoned mol' I thought not, aud told him bo, and sho said: 'What makes you talk so, Charley? What will peoplo think of you talking thnt wnyV Ho kept saying: 'Sho poisoned me, Snyder, she did.' Then she would say again that sho had not, and for n whllo ho wouldn't say anything. Ono tlmo dur ing tho drive ho turned to her and ask ed: 'Why did you do ItV " Tho doctor wiw not a) homo and the cripple, Btlll crying that ho had been potsoned. died In tho buggy on tho way to his cottage. An autopsy revealed traces of strychnine In his stomach nnd lu the beer left In tho bottle In tho road way was found enough strychnine to kill a dozen men. Ou tho roadway over which tho couplo was driven there was discovered a smnll glass phial half lllled with strychnlue. It bore tho natno of a New York Arm. On tho trial It was brought out thnt this was found ou tho side of tho roadway on which tho wlfo had driven. No ovldenco of a purchase of poison by either husband or wife was discovered. Tho prosecution urgued that tho wom an, tired of her crippled husband, pol. wned tho Ixwr In tho wagon In tho few moments when sho was left nlono by him lu tho village. Tho defense showed that sho had 110 means of uncorking tho bottlo and urgued that Kuhn himself, fearing that his wlfo would carry out her threat to leave him, had bought the strychnlno contemplating murder nnd suicide on his way home. It was urged that Kuhn's dying declaration was an opinion rnther than a statement of fact, nud therefore Inadmissible.
