GHOST ADMITS DEED
Husband Excavates Under Direction
of Spiritualistic Spouse White in
France—Spirit Hands Choke
Woman.
Milwaukee.—E. A. Marth created a
sensation when he appeared at a po
lice station and said his wife, haunted
by the ghost of a man who said he
had committed a murder, had found
the body of the victim—a woman—in
the basement of their house.
Mrs. Marth is a spiritualist medi
um. Marth told the police his wife
had been visited nightly by the spirit
of a physician. The spirit had awak
ened her so often by putting invisible
hands on her throat that she deter
mined to hold a seance.
“Spirit” Asks Her to Dig.
She did so and was directed to dig
at a certain spot in the cellar.
Marth told the police he made the
excavation under her direction while
she was in a trance and had discov
ered a box. He asked that the police
remove the body of what he insisted
was a murdered woman.
The police, scoffing, went to the
house. They found the excavation and
the box. They opened the box and
discovered it to contain bones and
quicklime.
The spiritual phase of the matter
they are inclined not to discuss. But
they believe the evidence of a crime
has been laid bare by the medium
and they arc exerting efforts to reach
a solution of it.
"It was an earth-bound spirit,”
Marth told the police, “that could not
rest until it was relieved.”
The property in Walnut street was
bought by iht Spiritualist church of
Milwaukee about seven weeks ago.
Marth and his family moved in short
ly after. Immediately, he says, they
were attacked every night by the
hands of the spirit, which choked
them.
After several unsuccessful seances
to learn the meaning of the visits, an
other medium was called in to assist
la getting the message.
“Body of Woman Victim.”
“The spirit was that of a doctor
who died several years ago,” Marth
said. “But the body in the basement
Visited Nightly by the Spirit
was not the doctor’s. The doctor’s
spirit confessed the murder to us. He
said he had performed an operation
on a young woman who died from it.
The spirit said the body had been dis
membered and buried in quicklime in
the basement of the house, and it
guided us to the spot. The operation
was illegal.”
Marth said he ripped np the base
ment floor. About a foot underneath
the surface he uncovered a large
wooden chest, so rotted that it fell
apart when he tried to move it. In
side the chest were fragments of
quicklime, decomposed organic matter
and fragments of bone.
CHICKS ARE SIAMESE TWINS
Both Are Perfect Physical Specimens,
But Are Connected by an Inch
Long Cartilage.
Washington Courthouse, Ohio—The
Siamese Twins were rivaled and poul
trydom scored a unique triumph in the
freak world when two tiny chicks
emerged from the same egg in the in
cubator of the Brownell Packing plant.
The babies are both perfect physi
cal specimens and are just as alike
as two peas, except that one is a de
cided brunette and the other just as
distinctly blond as to down.
Like the Siamese Twins, the chicks
are joined together by an inch long
cartilage under the wings about' the
thickness of a finger. Both can stand
and THIk about., and such is their free
dom of action that one can sit while
the other stands.

Red Cross Canteen Wedding Eloquently Pictured
CHICAGO—Married at 3 p. m., in the Rod Cross canteen: Miss Luella Irene
Powell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Powell of Ca-sev, la., to Sergt. Don
T. Deal of Cedar Rapids. Let Elmer Douglas, the staff photographer, tell of
the wedding which was celebrated at
the lake front hut. Elmer was there.
He took the pictures, he ate some cf
the wedding cake, and, did he kiss the
bride? We pause for a reply.
“You see the bridegroom passed
through Chicago some time ago ou his
way back to Iowa when he got out of
: tlig war,” says Elmer. “The Red Cross
girls gave him such a good time in the
canteen that he thought he’d like to
spend the happiest day of his life
there. So he wrote and asked them if
he couldn’t come back and be married there and they said yes. Sergeant Deal
is going to be a high school teacher at Fort Dodge, la.
“By cracky! It was the prettiest wedding I ever saw. So sweet and
simple and everybody was so nice. They had all the frills, too, you can bet.
The bride was dressed beautifully with white dress, a big bunch of flowers,
and a veil, aud everything. First, though, I must tell you how the Red Cross
girls all lined up, a double row, for the couple to pass between. Maj. S. C,
Stanton of the Red Cross gave the bride away and then he lent her hi* beau
tiful gold sword to cut the wedding cake with. One of the Red Cross ladies
had baked it, and it was some cake. It’s the first time they’ve ever had a
wedding in a Red Cross canteen.”

Practical and Smart.
If one must wear furs in midsum
mer—and it 1ms been proved how
practical they are aside from their un
disputed smartness—it is by far the
best plan to have a distinctly differ
ent set of summer peltry and send all
the winter furs to cold storage for the
hot spell. Furs are like plants; they
have to rest once in a while between
seasons of blooming out in beauty,
and the fur neckpiece or coat that was
worn month in and month out with no
period of recuperation would soon be
come shabby and lifeless looking.
Veils Add Daintiness.
The woman who is trim from top to
the never forgets that a veil is the last
touch in daintiness for any outdoor
costume. This year she is wearing
one of the big-meshed veils that seem
to he the fad; but just because veil
meshes are so big fashion has whim
sically introduced tiny meshed pat
terns that are scattered over the veil
In an effect of contrast.
