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.
