DAUGHTER HELD FOR CRIME Twenty-three-Year-Old 'Child of Dead Man Accused of Committing Brutal Crime—Girl Has Been Considered Mentally Unbalanced for Some Time and Insanity Undoubtedly Will Be Her Defense. St. Paul, May 18.—Louise Arbogast, tearless but pitifully protesting her {nnocence, is in the hospital ward of the county jail, held for further hear- ing in police court, charged with the murder of her father, Louis Arbogast, the butcher, whose head was crushed with an axe as he lay in bed at his home in this city last Thursday morn- Ing. The girl, who is twenty-three years of age, when arraigned in po- lice court dramatically declared her innocence and said, when told she need not plead to the charge until she had consulted an attorney, that “God will be my attorney.” A plea of not gullty was entered as a matter of form and the hearing was continued until Thursday morning. The police assert the girl is insane. She has been suffering from nervous- ness and mental hallucinations for some time and had returned from a sanitorium but a few days prior to her father’s death. Insanity undoubt- edly will be her defense. The arrest of Louise Arbogast was the result of constant and searching police inquiry, which included the third degree for Mrs. Arbogast, who had been defending her daughter by obstinate silence. Their statements as to the main facts of the murder were so totally at variance that it was at first the police theory that both the wife and davghter had a hand in the murder. Louise directed the inquiry toward herself by a bungling attempt to cover up the fact that there had heen a crime. When her father’s store manager called,{§ when her physician was summoned and again when a neighbor came in In an effort to lend assistance she said: “Father is dead and there i{s some- thing wrong with the gas.” OLD WAGES TO BE RESTURED Steel Company Employes to Be Paid Former Scale.
