William Hassing Says Tragedy
followed Her- Refusal to
Let Him Have Jans.
William HaSsing, wife slayer, regrets
bitterly that the door or death which
he opened so abruptly for Mrs. Hassing,
Thursday night, was slammed in his
own face. The ; physician's statement
that he is on the high road to recovery
from the BoJf-lnfUcted bullet wound in
his head, is repugnant to him, lie does
not want to , get . well." He . docs not
want to be put on trial or to face
death on the scaffold as punishment
for his crime. Ha will not say that
he regrets having murdered his wife,
but, whether he lives or dies, he wants
to look upon beY face before it is hid
den underground, and he wants to hear
little Jans, their baby, call him "papa"
once more. , -.. ' ' - -
Hassing is under constant guard 'at
St. Vincent's hospital. He says he will
kill himself if he gets the chance, but!
Police Off leer Fones, who watches him
during the day, says he Is too much of
a coward to commit ' Huiclde - in cold
blood. Of fleer Fonea does :. not leave
Hassing for a moment, ' however. He
believes th wife murderer would use
desperate , means to eecape if. he had
even a very little opportunity.
Wants! Baby or Death.,'
Haslng Is perfectly conscious and per
fectly sane. .He talked a long time yes
terday, telling a Journal reporter the
story of : bis life and confessing the
causes that actuated him when he shot
his wife, -who would not live with him,
t the corner of Fourteenth and Colum
bia streets, . His reason for the crime
he sums up In a sentence '
"I made up my mind- that If I couldn t
have Baby Jans, she shouldn't either."
The story that Hassing told was un
usual, almost weird., : It was as though
Tie TaaauuTe a covenant with death and
blamed deth for not; keeping; It - It
was as though he had stepped across
the Hires hh old only to be thrust back.
Most of , the time he talked calmly.
Twice he sobbed. His eyes are a pale,
Hashed out' blue and he Jooked un
blinking!? straight ahead of him. His
lips are full and rather sensual.. His
nose is slightly flattened. The police
officer who is guarding him, used the
same expression concerning htm, that
his brother-in-law, Eilo Hedmarr, did.
'He is cold blooded,- he said.
FrOes Dead Wife.
It had been said of Hassing that he
was Jealous, .that he believed his wife
untrue to him. This be denied.
My wife was a good woman," he de
clared. VThere never was a better wo
man. But she wouldn't let me see the
baby, She was influenced.? Her broth
ers and her brothers' people told her
to keep away from me. They made a
league against ! me, We were happy
when we lived in Ban Francisco. When
we' rl came - to Mllwaukle our troubles
began. , She left me and came to her
brother. Z Wanted : her , to come back.
She would have come, but they told her
not to. - Then the baoy was borrt.
I took the baby to Denver after they
had m--lB-isoUeeeorkMjr-,; sisters
would have taken care of It, but 1
wanted, my. wife, so I cam back. ?
went to a telephone booth in the Per

Increased, Capaoity for Mental labor

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental werk to perform, day after
day have found a better capacity and
greater endurance by using Postum in
stead of .ordinary coffee. An Illinois
woman writes: . . 1 . ' .. : .
"I had drank coffee for about -twenty
years, ana finally had what the doctor
called xoffee heart.' I was nervous and
extremely despondent; had IKtle mental
or physical strength left, had kidney
trouble and jsonstipation. .
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In , two weeks r my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves ateadv. -..v. f .
."Then I became less desponaent and
the defllro to be active, again, showed
proof of renewed physical , and mental
strength.
. "I am steadtty gaining In physical
strength and brain power. , I formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but jsince using
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before." 1
