Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 19. What promises to be one of the most not able criminal trials that has taken place In this section In a long time 13 scheduled to Degin in oieaia nexi 1 Monday, when Mrs. M. Florence Brb and her sister, Mrs. Catherine B. Bel sel, will be tried for the alleged mur der of Captain J. Clayton Erb, hus ; band of the former. Captain Erb ; was a well-known politician, Penn : sylvanla national guardsman and sec retary to Israel W. Durham, the Re publican leader of Philadelphia, i The alleged murder occurred at 1 the Erb country home, Red Gables, In Delaware county, on October 6th, last. Shortly before midnight on that date a coachman from Red Ca bles hurried to the Mountain House, at Lennl, and notified the proprietor of the place that Captain Erb had been shot and' that Mrs. Erb wanted 1 help. Constable Simpson, of Rock i dale, went to the house and on the ! strength of statements made by Mrs. Erb and her sister, Mrs. Beisel, ne placed the latter under arrest, charg ed with murder. The revolver with which Captain Erb was shot was found In Mrs. Belsel's dressing room. There had been a bitter quarrel, and It was said that Mrs. Beisel had fired the shot to protect her sister. Cap tain Erb was found lying In the hall way on the second floor of the house with a bullet wound In the head. The Delaware .county grand Jury took up the case with the result that a week ago it returned Indictments against Mrs. Erb and Mrs. Beisel, charging them jointly and separately with alleged murder, voluntary and Involuntary manslaughter. Revelations following the killing of Captain Erb showed that his re- latlons with his wife and slBter-in-law had been strained for some time. Before her marriage to Captain Erb Mrs. Erb was Mrs. W. Q. Rothermel, a divorced woman. Their marriage occurred about two years ago. For; a time thereafter everything went long smoothly, but for some months prior to the killing of Captain Erb there had been a succession of vloleni family quarrels. On August 24, last, Mrs. Erb caused the arrest. of Eugene, Poulson, Captain Erb's colored coach-J man, on a charge of threatening her ! life. - At the hearing of the ca;e she said that she had been informed that Poulson was acting as a spy for Cap tain Erb, who stood by the coach man at the hearing, as against his wife. He subsequently explained that he did so because h eexpected to institute proceedings against Mrs. Erb and expected Poulson to be an important witness in the case, in which Mrs. Beisel, Mrs. Erb's sister, also was to be Involved. Captain Erb declared at the hear ing hat ha had been duped when he1 married' Mrs. Rothermel, and that her conduct during his absence from home last summer had been im proper. Several weeks later Mrs. Erb caused the arrest of her husband on a charge of assault and battery, and he was held for trial. The charges were to have been heard September 30, a week before the date of the alleged murder, but were postponed. JUNCTION CITY NEWS ITEMS FROM THE TIMES Commercial Elects Club Meets W. B.
