KUNART " MYSTERY
BAFFLES OFFICERS
Widow and Reinhold Green
wald Are Ordered Released
Although Suspected.
MO POISON IN STOMACH
Analysis Reveals No Damaging Evi
dence, but Woman Declares Al
leged Accomplice Swore False
ly . at Coroner's Inquest.
CASTLE ROCK, Wash., July 15. (Spe
cial.) So baffled are the officials of Cow
litz County over the mystery surround
ing the sudden death of Godfrey Kunart
last Friday that an order was issued late
this afternoon releasing from custody the
widow and Reinhold Greenwald, who was
held as her alleged accomplice and para
mour. This afternoon the woman made open
accusations against Greenwald, but in
the face of these accusations the order of
release was issued. However, both the
man and woman will remain under close
espionage of the officers, although they
have been released from custody.
Body Taken From Grave.
It Is an old. old story that has been re
vived in Cowlitz County as a result of
the mysterious death of the logger, and a
woman is at the bottom of It. There was
a home a liappy one it is said, and an
Intruder. Then there was a sudden and
mysterious death, the woman and alleged
Intruder surviving. And the tongues of
the multitude got busy so busy that a
Coroner's inquest was held, the remains
of the dead man were exhumed, and after
robbing trie grave, the slow and tedious
process of the law was set to work to
appease the public wrath.
But today the proceedings came to a
sudden and unexpected termination, and
although a shadow of suspicion still
rests upon the woman and her alleged
paramour, the wheels of the law have
been stopped in their investigation.
Declines to Summon Doctor.
Kunart was a logger and lived here
with his wife and three children. At his
home for the past three years lived Rein
hold Greenwald, a dose friend of him
self and of his wife. For months and,
indeed, since their arrival in this locality
neighbors have gossiped about the in
timacy of the friend and Mrs. Kunart.
last Tuesday both men went fishing in
the Cowlitz River. They returned sud
denly and unexpectedly In the middle of
the afternoon, and Kunart was desperate
ly 111. His wife made lemonade, in the
presence and with the aid, it is said, of
Greenwald. The sick man drank of the
lemonade and his illness increased to such
an alarming extent that he begged his wife
to summon a physician. She. In turn,
asked Greenwald to call for aid.
Greenwald refused, insisting that the
services of a physician were unnecessary.
Finally the sick man himself persuaded
Greenwald to summon a physician and
Dr. T. C. Campbell was called. Kunart
lived until Friday. On the day he became
ill the physician prescribed for him, but
after the professional man had departed
Greenwald went up town and procured
a bottle of what he called wormwood
bitters. Kunart drank of It and his wife
also attempted to partake of the fluid.
Warned Not to Drink.
'Don't drink that, leave It alone. It has
been fixed purposely for Godfrey," Green
wald said to the woman, according to her
story yesterday. And rushing to
wards her, he dashed the vial from her
hand, according to her story. Then the
bottle of alleged wormwood bitters disap
peared, and officers have been unable to
find a trace of it.
Kunart died on Friday, and It was
Hunday that the suspicions of residents
of this place became insistent. The
remains had been hurriedly burled on
Saturday and the public tongue waxed
busy with surmises, and Indeed with
many facts.
Dr. Cmpbell and others notified
Coroner Bird, of Kelso, and also Dis
trict Attorney B. L. Hubbell. of Kelso.
Those officials Immediately came to
Castle Rock and the body was exhumed.
On Monday the coroner called a jury
and an inquest was held. The stomach
of the dead man was removed-and sent
to Dr. Ralph Matson. of Portland, for
analysis. He analyzed it and failed to
find a trace of poison. t
In Custody Since Snndny.
On Sunday afternoon Greenwald was
arrested and placed in the town jail,
awaiting the verdict of the jury and
pending further developments in the
case. In order to care for her three
children the widow was permitted to
remain at her home, though she also
was under arrest, and an officer re
mained constantly on duty at the
home.
Many conflicting stories were told by
the man and woman at the coroner's
Inquest. And since the inquest she
has remembered many alleged incrim
inating incidents which, she says, she
forgot to mention at the inquest. She
openly declares that Greenwald lied,
when under oath at the inques, and
Greenwald, on the other hand, says
that the woman errs In her statements.
orticlal Left in Dark.
"What can I dor said Distrist At
torney Hubbell yesterday, after order
ing the release of the two suspects.
"The specialist in Portland declared
after analysis that there was no trace
of poison in the dead man's stomach.
The woman will not swear that the
man is guilty and the man-will not
swear that the woman is guilty. We
have no evidence, and for that reason
I have ordered both the woman and the
man released from custody."
And when the man was released the
widow begged the officers to keep him
from her home. He has lived there
constantly for three years or more, but
there has come a revulsion on the wid
ow's part and she will not see him.

hind the Southern California Athletic

HDPMEiJ HAVE PLAN
Would Exempt Beer Under
Prohibition Law.
CALL MEETING AT SALEM
Believe Reformers Would Be Satis
fied if Local Option Statute Were
Amended so Sale of Whisky -'
. Could Be Prohibited.
SALEM, Or.. July 15. (SpeciaL)-A
number of Salem hop-growers and
dealers have" called a mass meeting at
the opera house Saturday night for the
purpose of discussing a plan by which
the prohibition movement may be di
rected against the sale of whisky and
not against the sale of beer. An ef
fort will be made to enlist the prohi
bition element In this project.
The plan Is to amend the local option
law so as to permit a vote upon the
question of selling beer and a separate
vote upon the question of selling li
quors stronger than beer. Conrad
Krebs, who Is one of the leaders in the
movement, said tonight that the evils
of whisky drinking cause most of the
antagonism to liquor selling and the
hop-growers desire to senarate the
eer business from the whisky busi
ness, rney reel certain that If this
were done, whisky would be voted out
bnt the sale of beer would be permitted
to continue.
It Is not known yet whether any
of the prohibition workers will take
part in the meeting but an effort Is
being made to enlist them upon the
ground that restriction of liquor selling
to beer alone would be an advance step
in the direction of temperance.
The meeting and the discussions will
be open to all and It is the desire of
the promoters of the movement that
all phases of the question be consid
ered. subjectadmltebid shrd cmf cmf vbgk
