Wife Slayer Ends
Life with Poison
useu in urune
Ernest Witmer Fights When Doctor
and Sheriff Seek to Aid Hinu
In Jail Two Weeks.
Nelijrh. Neb., Nov: 16. Ernest
Witmer, young Brunswick farmer
who-' killed his wife last September
26, committed 6uicide in the county
jail here last night, using a dose
of the same poison he had adminis
tered to her.
He refused efforts of Sheriff J. A
Sutton and Dr. E. E. Curtis to' save
him and at first would not tell what
the poison was, hence they "were un
able to administer an antitode
When the doctor attempted to
force the stomach pump down his
throat, Witmer, even though then in
the death convulsion, resisted his ef
forts.
Toward the end he told us that
he had the poison with him ever
since he left home," Sheriff Sutton
said.
Thinks Hidden in Clothing.
"I think he must have had it sewn
in his clothing, or hidden in a shoe,
because I gave him a thorough search
here, even refused to let his parents
send in food to him for fear that
poison might reach him some way
The officers at Norfolk also searched
him thoroughly."
Witmer had gone to bed in his
cell he was kept apart from the
three other prisoners about 9:30
p. m. A quarter or an nour later nis
groans aroused them. At first they
thought he might have taken some
disinfectant which was left in the
exercise room, but called the sheriff
Help Is Refused.
Sutton called Dr. Curtis and the
two, with the help of the three pris
oners, worked over the young slayer
for nearly an hour.
It's too late. It won't do any
good now,", he told the doctor when
he arrived.
"What did you take?" the doctor
demanded.
Witmer wouldn't tell.
The doctor repeated his question.
"I don't know." was the reply. 'A
poison.
"What was it?"
VA white powder."
"Had It All the Time."
"The same you gave Rose?"
"Yes, I guess that was it."
Dr. Curtis said it then was
too
late to do anything.
"Where did you get it?" the sher
iff asked.
I had it with me all the time,"
Witmer replied.
In the last few moments the doc
tor asked: "Da you want us to help
you?"
yes!" Witmer replied. "Water!"
Open your throat and let this
pump down," the doctor command
ed, but Witmer still refused and died.
Farewell to Mother.
Witmer wrote three letters yes
terday, wheih were found in his cell
One to his mother at Pender, one to
a sister of his wife, Viola Dreger, at
Norfolk, and a third, unsealed, to
the sheriff.
"Please mail these two letters if I
die," the last read. "Break the news
to mother softly. P. S., Do not open
the letters to read
Boys, go straight
when you get out
To his mother and Miss Dreger,
whose suspicions started a search
when he disappeared, he wrote:
"By the time you get this letter
I will be gone. Something told me
to kill my wife. Someone is call
ing me every night. It must be Rose,
and I am going to meet her.
Happy Six Months.
"I lived happy for six months.
Then my wife started to steal things
and smoke cigarets. She promised to
quit if I quit drinking."
The sheriff mailed the letters.
Other prisoners reported that Wit
mer seemed unusually nervous and
"jumpy" whenever visitors would
call on him, and had told the sheriff
that they thought he was going to
make a "break" if possible. Sheriff
Sutton doubled his watch over him
and finding this avenue blocked, Wit
mer took the only way he had left
to escape electrocution.
"I guarded all visitors myself."
Sutton said .
He had been in the jail two weeks.
The body is to be taken to Pen
der today for burial. No funeral date
has been set.

wages and profits must be reduced to
meet foreign competition, in which
case there would be no imports, no
additional sales of farm produce
abroad." , , r .
