A Business Man of Some Standing Found to Be Leading a Quadruple Life— His Mistresses in a Fit of Jealousy De- One of nounces Him asa Murderer. LovisviLtie, Ky passes the myste Sept. 16. s time y grows and interest increases in the cases of Mrs. Emma Austin and Mrs. Eugenia Sherrill, found dead in their room a week ago. Then it was thought to be an case of suicide of two fallen women— one without shame, the othera dis- graced wife. It is now declared to bea double murder, with mystery enough for a Dumas and scandal enough tosat- isfy 2 Sardou. Wicked Paris could not stir up a more | story than j sensational cr mysterious that developed in the last few hours. To make it complete it is necessary to review the case. Last Saturday morning Mrs Emma Austin, keeper of an immoral resort, was found dying in her room on Second } street, near Market, in this city. In another room in the same house Mrs. Eugenie Sherrill, the respected wife of a young business man, was found dead. Suicide by poison was the first theory. ints about murder ‘re set afloat, and then the coroner received an anonymous letter telling him to summon certain persons as wit- nesses and compel them to tell all they knew. ‘The persons named in the letter are Vincent Spaninger, Josephine Cole, Police Officer Feeney and Emma Koch, a daughter of Mrs. Austin. A quiet investigation was set on foot and astounding facts have been brought v out. It has been developed that Span inger, whoisa business man of some nding, and who has a wife and children nd who is looked on as a model husband by his n has hbors, been living nota double, but a quad- | ruple life. He oceupied the position of husband to four women besides his law- ful wife. These women were Mrs. Aus- tin, her daughter, Mrs. Emr Koch, and Mrs. Cole and her daughter, Carrie Cole. The women lived in different parts of the c and Mrs. Austin, who had been the man’s mistress twenty years, was the only one of the four who knew positive- ly of the relations that existed between Spaninger and the others. Mrs. Koch had suspicions that Spaninger was crim- inally intimate with her mother, and the daughter and mother quarreled about this. Mrs. Cole, a jealous wom- an, repeatedly quarreled with Span- inger. The peculiar relations of Span- inger to these women and the jealousy of Mrs. Cole furnished a slight clew to the detectives, and they have been at work on the case. Spaninger and Mrs. Cole have been arrested, and the woman has confessed that she wrote the anony- mous letter to the coroner. She $ that Spaninger told her on more th one occasion that he intended to get rid of Mrs. Austin, and on the day of the tragedy he was at her house and told her in an excited manner to say noth- ing. Spaninger denies that he knows any thing of the poisoning, and asserts that Mrs. Cole is actuated by jealousy. It has not been established that he was about Mrs. Austin’s house on the day of the tragedy, but he v there on the night before. The poison, according to theory, was administered through the batter cakes which Mrs. Austin pre pared for breakfast. Spaninger, asserted by a neighbor, left Austin’s early the night before the ing, and as he was going aw would be back for breakfast, and a the woman to have hot cakes for him He did not go back, however. So the circumstanti evidence against Spaninger is strong, but there is a break and another clew. Mrs. Emma Koch, the daughter of Mrs. Austin, who, as stated above, had quarreled with her mother over the di- vision of Spaninger’s affections, visited the house early on the day of the trage- dy, and was on hand when her mother died. The moment the woman breathed her last Mrs. Koch began clearing up the breakfast things. She took partic- ular pains to get rid of the scraps of the batter cakes and the batter left on the dishes. Why did she do this? is the tion those working on the case are asking. Mrs. Sherrill was an innocent victim of either a black-hearted man, who wanted to get rid of an old mistress, or of a revengeful woman. No one knew that she would take breakfast with Mrs. Austin. . Cole, the fourth mistress of modern Don Juan, is a young ed r merely because her mother set the ample. When the mother and Span- were arrested she drove to the jail in her carriage to see them. At the examining trial to-day these two were itted to bail in $5,000 each. Koch is being watched by the A Stock Yards Deal.
