WHO PURSUED HER
Attacked By Him She Grabs
Hatchet and Kills Him
With One Blow
HIS HEAD SEVERED FROM
BODY AT FIRST STROKE
Woman Flees But Sends For
Husband to Whom She
Sobs Out the Story
San Francisco, Oft. 20. Attacked bv
a love mnd cripple, who for years had
pursued her, Mrs. Mary Pumios, wife
of a l;nited Railroad motorman,' chased
dim through her home with a hatehet
inrt then hacked his head off from his
liody. Then she dismembered the body
rind hid the pieces in a box couch, she
confessed today, in the presence of her
husband, before Captain of Detectives
Mich.
Detectives afterward found the dis
membered body as Mrs. Paniias de
scribed it.
The crime occurred last night in the
I'amias flat at 845 McAllister street.
Surrendering herself to the detectives
the 22-year-old wife told them all the
gruesome details. -
The rripple, whose name she gave as
Michael Weinsteiu, a peddler, had fol
lowed her for years, she said. Infatu
ated with her, after she first met him
at Atlantic City, ho had persisted in
his attentions to hor, though she was
married.
His Leg Handicapped Him.
Several days ago, f.o said, she met
dim here. The mad man begged that
ehe elope and offered her all his mon
jy. She spurned him, she said. Then
list night, while her husband worked,
Weinsteiu hobbled into the house. He
pushed $223 at her, and told her he
dad it all planned to elono with her.
Again she refused, according to her
siwry.
Infuriated, the cripple attacked her.
She fought him. Gradually his grasp
upon her tightened in his fury. She
was growing weak.
Then with a sudden effort she twist
ed hera;lf free from him and dashed
for the rear of the flat.
The hatchet was there. She seized it,
MS he followed. Seeing the weapon,
Vtoinsteiu turned to escape. But one
leg was crippled, and as ho hopned
rne nnuwny sno overtook dim
lfe toppled over. '
Ihe hntchet was raised above her
head, and she brought it down with a
blow which hacked the head comnlete-
Jf off.
Horror stricken, when she renlizcd
what she had done, and dreading the
law, the girl dragged the body out of
sight. She Was tortured.
"Body Would Not Fit Box."
"I could not 'stay in the house with
it any longer," she choked. "I tried
to get it in the box couch, but it
wouldn't fit so I cut the legs and
arms off,"
Haunted by her deed, she fled from
the house, and wandered through the
streets, where, it, seemed to her. evorv

Asquith's Illness May Compel
Resignation Which Would
End Deadlock
By Ed L. Keen.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
London, Oct. 20. The Premier As
quith's illness may prove so serious as
to compel his resignation, thus ending
the deadlock in the cabinet, was the
growing belief here today.
following Lloyd Ueorge s audience
Tuesday with tho colonial minister, A.
conar Law, conservative leader, who
will be premier if Asquith, liberal, re
tires, his majesty today received Sir
Edward Carson, resigned attorney gen
eral.
These conferences were widely in
terpreted as meaning that a general
cabinet shakeup is at lenst considered.
Though it is not thought that
France is making suggestions regarding
the British ministry, it is believed the
allied military policy was discussed in
yesterday s cabinet session, winch was
attended by French Minister of War
Millerand and French Ambassador
Cambon.
That Asquith is losing his influence
is conceded. Kven many of his friends
openly stated that, though he is a ca
pable administrator, be is not tne man
tor the present emergency.
The present cabinet deadlock is over
the conscription issue. The pro-con
aeriptionists have finally agreed upon
a plan exempting workers engaged in
munition tnakiug, general manufactur
ing, exporting, mining and railroading.
This however, provides that the country
shall be divided into districts and mat
conscription Bhall be used in tho ilia
tricts failing to furnish voluntary quo
fas. The antl-conncriptionists refused
to formulate a bill to this otrcct imiue
.lintnlv to snve time, if Lord Derby
voluntary plan of stimulating volunteer
enlistments fails.

Paris, Oct. 20. W tho middle of tho
Champagne battlefield, my first impres
sion was that Judgment Day had come;
that 1 had been left behind to ruaiu the
disrupted earth alone.
As far as the eye could see, along tap
undulated stretch, it was a vast pitted
waste of chalk, with snags and an
nihilated forests sticking up gaunt aud
white, covered with dust against the
skyline, and with arms, legs and other
fragments of dead men lying stinking
like common garbage on a titanic dump.
This was the work of the French ar
tillery. Here tlernians hail beea. Here
many were still rotting.
Hell's furies seemed to iuve beea
forestalled and outdone.
For tiiree days, 1 was permitted to
wander over this ground recently won
by the I'Toncli.
Even Vegetation Killed,
I had a talk previous to my trip with
many nt tho wnr office, regarding tho
efficacy of the French shell fire but
even thus prepared and despite what I
hitherto hud unserved personally, i was
totally surprised by what 1 saw.
Over many square miles, practically
no vegetation was -left, F.ven the rab
bits and rats had not escaped.
Almost 3,000,000 shells had been
fired into this area in three days, dig
ging pits from five to 75 feet deep, the
latter MO to J.iO teet across, as a
result of this concentrated fire, the
whole country was covered with a white
powder.
A general told me that tho Ger
man troops were so demoralized that
droves of prisoners tho French took
were sent to the rear without any otiier
escort than a single guide; thut many
were almost insane for days.
The Horrible Aftermath.

Tho Germans had woven entiro for

which r.igzagged eight feet deep nloug
their entiro line.
Their front was supported by a mul
titude of machine guns, many with four

This was what tao French had to go

The general commanding the French
fourth army told me it took two months
to prepare this part of the attack. He
constructed about 500 kilometers of
new trenches some of them wide enough
for two horses to pass through, to
gether with many new railroads and
dirt roads.
I personally rode along the new dirt

quarters. Duncan killed Toolen early yesterday
when the sergeant went to bis home to
arrest him on suspicion of stealing au
