While It Is tee tended That Ha lunneneed Her. .r Soldier OWERING In abject terror In a cell in the little jail at Waukegan, 111., sits Carl Tethke, formerly a soldier In the Fifteenth Infantry.- U. S. A., who, it is charged, as the result of hypnotic Influence exerted by the fe o, the Rev. Samuel Break-wel- l, cut the throat of the preacher on the public street of the village of On the other Highwood last week. hand, Pethke is accused of having exerted a similar Influence over the divorced wife of the murdered man, and wss the cause of the separation of the couple. It is a strange and In many respects s revolting story. The divorced Mrs. Breakwell is seventy-eigh- t years old. and the skin on her face la puckered Into a thousand wrinkles. She was the second wife of the murdered, map, who was many years younger than she, and after the divorce the husband married t much younger woman, who survives him. The second Mrs. Breakwell was the mother of three children, one sos and two daughters, who are married and live in the vicinity. 'Pethke is a aurly fellow, forty-fiv- e years, old, and lived In the house with aged Mrs. Break-wel- l. In fact, the couple have resided the house for several years, and Mrs. Breakwell lived there when her husbaDd obtained the divorce on the ground of desertion. The victim waa a Baptist minister, snd for a year past had a charge In Darien, Wls. He was a retired merchant and had accumulated considerable property in the town of Highwood and the surrounding country. The house In which Mrs. Breakwell and Pethke lived was built with the money of Mrs. Breakwell and her husband, but after the divorce Mrs. Breakwell deeded or signed her share to Pethke. Mr. Break-we- ll claimed his share In the house, on the ground that he had loaned her money with which to complete it, and it was the old clergymans attempt to obtain possession of the property that led to the murder. A constable notified Mrs. Breakwell an Pethke two weeks ago that they must vacate, and Pethke claims he was driven to desperation because the minister would show him no mercy. The murder was one ot the most fiendish atrocity. On. Wednesday, August 17, the aged clergyman came down frpm Darien to visit his childrens As he was walking along the principal street of Highwood, his Bible under his arm, Pethke stole up behind him and, seizing him by the heard, cut his throat, severing the jugular vein. As the victim fell the frenzied murderer stabbed him time and again in the face and throat, cutting his nose off and inflicting moat hideous wounds. Pethke then gave himself up and claimed to have acted In although the dead man was unarmed and fully twenty-fiv- e years older than his murderer. Owing to the excited state of the public mind, Pethke was hurried off to the jail at Waukegan and a strong guard put over him to prevent mob violence. What was the influence the aged divorced wife had over Pethke and what could have been the cause of her great liking for him? Pethke says the. Rev. Mr. Breakwell was so stingy and mean that his wife was forced, to leave him, and that he took her in out of pity. She refused to go back to him, and he obtained a divorce on the ground of In e, ALEX.
