Mrs. Aldina Elsenbarth, formerly
Mrs. Wm. WUkey, who resided In
North Willow street for twenty-five
years, was murdered 'by her hus-
band at St. Louis on Tuesday last.
I Of the tragedy the Globe Democrat
of yesterday says:
Insanity probably will be the de-
| fen3e offered In behalf of Alois El»-
'enbarth, 72 years old, who. shortly
after noon yesterday killed Mrs. Al-
Idina Elsenbarth, 60 years, old, hie
'bride of a month, by chopping the
top of her skull to bits with a
| hatchet, in their home at 3725 Ore-
gon avenue. Mrs. John A. King of
7030 Lindenwood plact, who was
with Mrs, Elsenbarth at the time
she was killed, was also attacked.
At the City hospital Mrs. King was
said to be slighHy Improved last
night, although her condition Is se-
rious. Mrs. Emma Porter, who w»b
Eisenbarth’s housekeeper for nine-
teen years, said the old man was
superstitious, and lived in dread
of wlches. His daughtcr-ln-law,
Mrs. Andrew A. Elsenbarth, also
told of strange actions of the man
and notions he had.
Mrs. King's husband, Dr. King,
a physician, said Mrs. Elsenbarth
cam to live at hlB home several days
after separating from her husband.
Elsenbarth came to work In Dr.
King’s garden, he says, and again
quarreled with Mrs. Elsenbarth
about money matters. Dr. King
says he induced Mrs. Elsenbarth,
who had lived at his home before
her marriage, to sign a paper re-
linquishing all claim to her hus-
band's property.
Mrs. Elsenbarth and Mrs. King
yesterday went to Elsenbarth's
home to pack the former’s clothing
for removal from her husband’s res-
idence to that of Dr. King. They
were to meet Dr. King and Elsen
barth at the office of K. Buenemann
a notary public, at Jefferson ave-
nue and Chippewa street, at, 1 p
m. After waiting for them some
time. Dr. King went to the Bisen-
barth home, where he was told of
the slaying.
Angered by Wife’s Actions
The police have a theory that
Elsenbarth became angered when
he saw the women packing the
clothing In his home. In the con-
troversy the money question was
broached again and at last he at-
tacked his wife with a hatchet, In
a fit of anger to prevent the re-
moval of her property. When Mrs.
King tried to aid Mrs. Elsenbarth,
they reason, he attacked her . In
turn.
Emil Zeller, Jr., who, with his
mother lives at 3725 Oregan ave-
nue, just next door, witnessed the
slaying. He called the police, who
arrested Eisenbarth, sent Mrs. King
to the Alexlan Brothers hospital for
emergency treatment, and Mrs.
Eisenbarth’s body to the morgue.
Mrs. King later was removed to the
city hospital. Her body was cover-
ed with black and blue lumps, while
eight, or ten deep gasheB had been
cut In her scalp by the hatchet.
Elsenbarth slezed a four-tlned
pitchfork and ran It several times
through his wife's body, after he
had chopped her head. At the Wy-
oming street police station last
night, he gave a rambling account
of the tragedy.
“I did It because they wanted 'to
get my property,” he said. "I am
not sorry and would do It again If
she were alive. Dr. King and his
wife compelled me 'to marry Mrs.
Wilkey. 6he was the widow of Wil-
liam Wilkes, a railroad man of
Sherman, Texas.”
Dr. King had exerted a banefu’
influence over him, Elsenbarth said,
and compelled him by some myste-
rious power to do whatever he said.
He told of paying Dr. King $3.50 a
week for medical treatment.
King Tells of Slayer
Dr. King denied that he had in-
duced, Eisenbarth to marry Mrs.
Wilkey and said he had strongly ad-
vised her against doing so, on ac-
count of the peculiar way in which
Eisenbarth had been acting. Dr,
King said he had known the slayer
for thirty years and Mrs. Eisen-
barth for almost the same time.
Mrs. Eisenbarth, he said, returned
to St. Louis from Sherman, Texas
three years ago. following the death
of her husband. She stayed at htr
house and met Eisenbarth there
while he was doing odd Jobs about
the house. Dr. King said Bisen-
barth had demanded his wife turn
over to him her property, amounting

Street Property Owners.
At a meeting held at the city halt
night, presided over by Judge Rice
Maxey,, the paving of South Crock-
ett street was discussed at a con-
siderable length but no final agree-
ment or decision reached as re-
gards the beginning of the paving
However the street will be paved
arid that as soon as possible.
Citizens of South Crockett street
presented to the council two plans
for the paving of that thoroughfare.
The first one was that the citizens
do the paving, both the individual
and the city’s part and that the cit-
izens be reimbursed at some later
date for the payment, of one thtrd of
the amount, which amount falls to
the city in paving a street.' It Is
however doubtful whether this plan
will be used.
Tne second proposition on the
part of the citizens was to cut tne
width of the street down to twenty-
five feet with the only obligation
to the city that tho Intersections be
kept in order at the .expense of the
city, but as no decision could be
reached at last night’s meeting It
is not yet known what plan will be
used in the improvements of the
thoroughfare. By thjs plan the ex-
pense to the citizens will be less
than in the first plan.
At last, night’s meeting there was
a large attendance and most all
present expressed their views as
regards the paving of the street.
These views were in qj»e accord and
manifested a deep anxiety to have
the street paved as soon as possible,
and the pride which property own-
ers in that thoroughfare have in
their street was very impressively
shown.
Before the meeting adjourned sev-
eral committees were appointed. A
legal committee as follows was ap-
pointed: O. D. MoReynolds, H. O.
Head and J. A. L. Wlolfe. This
committee was apnointed to look In-
to the legal questions regarding the
paving under this new plan and al-
so to investigate as regards some
changes in the city charter.
The executive committee appoint-
ed was as follows: J. H. Wood, W'
S. Russell, Frank Kote, F. Z Ed-
wards, Eugene Cherry, John Wall
and Rufus Hall. This committee
was appointed to investigate the
cost of the work, the material to
be used and other matters looking
to the further promotion of the
work.
A committee was also appointed
to see all of the citizens of Crockett
street and to gain their views as
regards the paving. This commit-
tee is composer! of H. R. Wallace,
Haydon Head and C. A. Sanford.

City of Mexico, May 25.—Enrag-
ed by the announcement that Presi-
dent Dial and Vice President Cor-
ral would not resign before today,
spectators In the gallery of the
chamber of deputies yesterday af-
ternoon precipitated a riot that has
resulted in numbers being shot
by the police and troops.
Presidsnt Diaz has had fever for
five days, taking liquid nourish-
ment only.
Until 9 o’clock last night the mob
encountered practically no opposi-
tion by the authorities, and, appar-
ently, little restriction was neces-
sary. Shouting vivas for Maderb,
they paraded the streets of the cap-
ital, but always in an orderly fa$h>
Ion, except lor the noise, and oc-
casional instances of vandalism
were immediately condemned by the
thousands o( marching men who
joined in shouts of “Order! Order!’
At 8:30 o’clock it appeared that
the crowd was dispersing. The main
body had been broken Into smaller
groups, but at that time some of
these had grown more demonstra-
tive In the big plaza in front of the
palace and the police determined
that the time had come for drastic
measures to be taken. The shout-
ing, gesticulating mas of human-
ity was warned to move on, but a
confidence born of better treatment
earlier in the evening caused them
to receive with derision the order
of the police. Again they were told
to disperse, and again no attention
was paid to the order.
Quickly their shouts of ridicule
were turned Into cries of anguish,
for the guns of the police and the
soldiers were throwing Into their
midst a hall of bullets. The llv'ng
stumbled in a mad rush over the
bodies of the dead and wounded.
The narrow streets leading from
the Zoloco were jammed with flee-
ing men and many women. For a
few minutes the guns of the gov-
ernment were stilled, but a regath-
erlng on the *treet (timers of the
now thoroughly enraged as well as
frightened partisans of Madero re-
sulted in another order to fire . at
wi|l.
Sharper and longer now came the
shooting. The mob fled, but, con-
trary to all traditions of Mexico,
the troops had not yet intlralda'|d
the rioters to th^ point where they
were willing to submit.
The force of the Iron hand was
weakening and despite the death It
had brought, the rioters refused to
do more than scatter Into miniature
mobs, each shouting for Madero
and yelling for the early downfall
of the present government,
