t THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4. 1821. Eight-Year-Old Poison Mystery Found in Chicago Out of Craves of Three la Bciug Gathered Chain of Evidence That May Show Triple Murder. Chicago, Aug. 3. Out of the graves of three tlie.-e is being gath ered the links of a chain of evi dence that may soon lead to an ar rest and charge of triple murder. The same evidence may solve the mystery of a love quadrangle in which the three who have since died are believed by the neighbors to have been involved. An investigation by Coroner Hoff- k; man into the deaths of Fred Kolze, his wife, Etta Kolze, and John Dem mer has revealed that Kolze and his wife were victims of poison, while the analysis in the case of Demmer has not been completed. If poison is found in his body also, the coroner will o.'der an ar rest immediately, he said today. Kolze Last to Die. Kolze was the last of the trio to die. The things the neighbors said about his death two weeks ago caused the coroner to investigate, j Poison was found. Then the neighbors said, "I told I you so, and added to the gossip. The coroner thereupon ordered the grave of Mrs. Kolze, who had been dead eight years, opened. More poison. Then the neighbors began talking about the death of John Demmer, who was supposed to have died from drinking too much ice water two years ago. The coroner ordered his grave "opened and the body is now being analyzed. Kolze Neglected Wife. llefore Mrs. Kolze died, Demmer and his wife took rooms at her house. Kolze, so the neighbors say, began paying a great deal of attention to the pretty Mrs, Dem mer. This caused strenuous objec tion by his wife and Mr. Demmer. After the death of Mrs. Kolze the neighbors began to speculate as to whether the Demmers would sepa rate, but they didn't. Demmer, however, began to grow weak and complain to his friends that he didn't know what was the matter with him. Then he died. After his death Mrs. Demmer be came housekeeper for Kolze. Wife is Suspected. Since the hitter's death Mrs. Demmer has been questioned and told the coroner that Kolze had re cently been infatuated with another T.-oman. "I believe all three were poison ed," said the coroner today. We have proof of poison in two case3. It is probable that the poison was given in small quantities in food and water. It could hardly be detected if administered in that way. If poison is found in John Demmer's body I will order his wife's arrest." Kolze was the grandson of a pioneer who founded the town cf Kolze, 111. He left a will but it has not been announced what he did with the $50,000 he is known to nuve naa.
