Biydenburg, for many years a resident of Brooklyn, had been arrest- ed in lEdora, Iowa, last Saturday on a charge of poisoning his wife, dis- closed the fact yesterday that for several weeks the county prosecutor and a detective from Iowa had been in Brooklyn working up a case against him. The woman who died in Iowa was the third Mrs. Blydenburg. Her life was rather heavily insured. Before he went to Iowa, Blydenburg buried two wives in Brooklyn, both of whom died under strange circumstances and both were insured. All unknown to Bly-, denburg the authorities of Eldora’ went to Brooklyn and what they learned in that borough of the first two wives and their Deaths Aroused a Suspicion, and on their report, when they re- turned to Eldora last week, Blyden-j burg was arrested. F. H. Noble, the’ county prosecutor from Eldora, tol: the relatives of Blydenburg’s first two wives and also the Brooklyn authori- ties, that he believes the man could be convicted of the murder of his third, wife on the evidence then in hand,’ but it had been thought wise to obtain all the facts about the deaths of the Brooklyn wives and get some of their relatives, if possible, to come out and testify at the trial. t Blydenburg was for a long time; looked upén as a model man. He’ taught a Sunday school class and at- tended church regularly.. Before he quit Brooklyn he had been Turned Out of His Church and Sunday school, with a warning never to enter them again, had been accused of several swindles and was under a cloud of suspicion because of the way his two wives had died. According to Mr. Noble, Blyden- burg assumed the same garb of sancti- ty in Eldora. There he engaged earnestly in religious work, and noth- ing was thought of the death of his wife until her sister had the body dis- interred, and the contents of the stomach were analyzed by Prof. V. C. Vaughn. Prof. Vaughn found enough arsenic in the stomach to kill several persons. By the death of his wife Blydenburg got not only insurance money, but also a fine farm which she owned.
