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

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

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

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. The Jury,
