Kaiser, who was shot and killed ou a lonely road uear Bridgeport, on the ntgbt of October 28. The verdict rendered by the coroner s jury this evening holds him responsible for her death, aud adds that he was aided by unknown per»ous in a »cheme to defraud insur ance companies. When the mnrder was committed the couple were driving borne from iiu lf Mills, a tilla g e near Bridgeport, where they had been d eliveiin g por traits from their store iu this city. Ibe first news of the crime was ob tained from Frank Meitcill, a Norris town hotel keeper, who found Kaiser madly circling about the road, shriek ing "m urder,” w hile in the carriage near by lay the corpse of bis w ife, witn a ballet m the head. Kaiser's story was that the murder had be*n commuted by highwaym en, who robbed them of valuable jewelry and money. Next day, however, the goods were found under stones along the road, and suspicu n was directed toward him. Subsequent developments proved the womau’s life recently had been insured in a number of companies for her husbaud's benefit for an aggre gate sum of <H),000, and toat the couple had not lived happily together. A mysterious man and woman, known to have been intim ately associ ated with K«l»er, are implicated. 1 bey held meetings with him some days before the murder, and were seen in the viiuity of the spot where it oc- cutred at nearly the same time f r ig h t a t a F l o r i d a l> a o r e .
