OCR Text	Show WARDEN'S WIFE MURDERED. Negro Convict Suspected of Brutal Crime at Joliet Penitentiary. Joliet, III. Mrs. Edmund M. Allen, wife of the warden of the state penitentiary peni-tentiary here and former comic opera favorite, was found dead and burned on Sunday in her bed in the warden's suite In the penitentiary. A wound on the left temple and the rapidity with which the flames charred her body almost beyond recognition, gave rise to the belief that she had been stunned by a blow on the head and her night clothes soaked with alcohol ' and ignited. Joseph Campbell, a negro convict, who acted as the Allen's house servant ser-vant and who lived in the warden's suite, was placed in solitary confinement confine-ment after a committee of prison officials offi-cials had investigated the fire. He would be charged with murder, it was said.
