Two weeks ago last Sunday night, Mrs. Klusmire was last seen alive. Mr. Klusmire gave out the report to the family and to the public that she had gone to Texas to visit relatives; that she had sold about $40 worth of chickens, and that she had gone to spend it. The report was believed by the family, although they did not see her go or make any preparations to go. After several days he reported that he had received a letter from her, and that she was sick at Galveston, Texas. The children asked to see the letter, but he said that he had torn it up. In the meantime he had told the neighbors that they had lost a hog and had buried in a ditch in the field. A few days later he told that he had received a telegram from her and that he must go to her at once, so last Thursday evening he borrowed a grip of W. R. Weeks and took the evening train for parts unknown. The children became suspicious by this time and May, the oldest girl, went to the depot and made inquires of the telegraph her father had received, and was told he received none. So the children at once began to search the premises for their mother. Just west of the house they found her cape by the deep ditch that runs through the field and after a careful investigation, much to their horror and surprise they found the dead body of their mother buried in the ditch .... The remains were buried in the Holton cemetery ... .... On Monday morning Klusmire was taken by officers Haas and Black to Topeka, where he was put in jail .... Klumires' brother, H. J. Klusmire .... W. H. Klusmire is the eldest .... His father is dead, but his mother, Mrs. Hatton Goodman, is an excellent and highly respected lady ... Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Klusmire were married some twenty-three years ago and are the parents of seven children, the oldest of which, a daughter, is about 22. Mrs. Klusmire was a sister of Paul Swetlick who was murdered in 1892, and of Mrs. Anna Stach, who was tried and acquitted on a charge of murdering her brother. Klusmire swore out the complaint against his wife's sister and afterward, managed Mrs. Swetlick's affairs for a time :.... The Holton Recorder, June 6, 1901. -------------------------------- The following contributed by Anna 47917889: The trial of W. H. Klusmire, charged with murdering his wife, is still occupying the time of the district court at Oskaloosa. County Attorney Graham. For the defense: Mr. Casebier, Schaffer, Woodburn, Crane and Hayden. Holton Recorder, 21 Nov 1901. Verdict returned: murder in the second degree. His suicide story seemed improbable. Holton Recorder, 28 Nov 1901.
