The peculiar circumstances ahfl facts
surrounding the case promts to make
It one of the most celebrated, with which
the courts of New Tork have had to deal
in a long time. While It lacks the sea
satlonaJ features to rivet the attention
of the public at large, the developments
up to the present time would Indicate
that it contains elements that will be

try. A Woman of Wealth. -'-'
The Wallau and Binge families are
related to several of New York's well
known families. Julius Binge, the hus
band of Mrs. Binge, died about six years
ago. He was broker, in the New
York customs house, as well as a law
, yer. He was an expert on customs du
, Uea and filed many claims for over
charges. It Is said that these over
charges amounted to nearly t4.t00.000,
and that he received 11,000,000 for his
' services.- His chief cane was on the
Importation of hat bends. The govern
ment held that they were manufactured
articles, while Mr. Binge successfully
maintained that they be admitted as
ribbons, upon whicK a much lower duty
was collectable.
Mrs. Xiottl Wallau, daughter of the
-iad woman, Is the wife of Leopold
Wallau, -a well-known - Importer of

Binge and the 20-year-old eon of Mr.

allau - '
etinn for cancer. Suspicion fell upon
Mrs. Wallau ana, following the receipt
of an analysis of the contents of the
dead woman's stomach. Coroner Acrltelll
directed her arrest On February 17
Mrs. Wallau was arraigned before the
coroner, charged . with murder In the
first degree In having caused the death
of her mother by the use of poison.
Chemists who. had examined the kidneys
and liver of Mrs. Binge reported that
they had found considerable Quantities
of bichloride of mercury present. Mrs.
Wallau was consequently held without
bail to' await the result of the Inquest,
which waa held on Wednesday of last
week. At the inquest Mies Devlne, a
trained nurse,' who first called the dis
trict attorney's attention to the ease.
testified tl t she had suspected poison
and that she had found some poisonous
tablets secreted under paper in the pa
tient's room. Other testimony tended
to show that the poison might have
been administered to Mrs. Binge In
champagne.
The Unique Theor-.
The theory.of euthanasia Is the Only
motive so far advanced in connection
with the allaged crime. It was only
few months ago that a prominent phil
anthropist advocated the passage of a
law giving people authority to cut abort
the life of a person who was suffering
from a painful and mortal disease 6r
injury. From a humanitarian stand
point, the proposition was generally in
dorsed. Almost -the sole objection to It
waa raised on the ground that it would
be abied 'and a Jury of medical ex
perts would have to be summoned In
each case. . '
Did i-'rs. Wallau, who was always
spoken of as a loving and devoted'
daughter, resort to euthanasia to -end
the misery . of her mother, who hourly
prayed for deathT Experts aay that if
ever there was a case, where euthanasia
waa'juillned It' was Mrs. Binge's. A
cancerous growth was literally eating
through her whole system. And, fur
ther than thla, several, of New York's
sblest physicians, Including Dr. Abra
ham Jacobl and ..Dr. .William T. Bull,
had parsed upon the case, and had de
clared that It was only a matter of days
before the patient would die. ' '
Sympathy wit Prisoner.
If the gatherings of lawyers and phy
sicians, witnesses and Jurors, who have
attended the preliminary hearings are
any criterion of New York's sentiment,
public sympathy Is almost entirely with
Mrs. Wallau. If the prisoner shortened
her mother's days of frightful pain,
public opinion seems already to have
excused her, and. In a great many Indi
vidual Instances, goes so far as to actu
ally justify ter. t 7-
