14 GUT OFF TOES OF MAN, MURDERS WIFE BING EARNS A SAFER LIFE Mysterious Robber Sought in? Strange Case in Michigan Hastings, Mich., Oct. 4 ties of Barry county today vestigating a story of the ng last Saturday of Mrs. John Bavers stock, an attack upon her husband in which two of his toes were cut off and his throat slashed before he gave up all the money he possessed, and an attempt by robbers to burn the Baverstock farm home near Middleville. Details of the reported attack were given officers by Baver- stock yesterday when he sufficiently recovered at a hospital here to be questioned. The officials had sus- pected Baverstock of slaying his wife and attempting suicide while tem- porarily insane. Three men forced an entrance to his home at 3 o'clock Saturday morning Baverstock said. They de- manded money and when this was refused, he said, two of the men held him while the third cut off his toes. Arter this, he said he gave them $30. The trio then seized his wife, Baverstock said, and dragged her to a cistern where her body was found later with a window curtain drawn tightly about the neck. Returning to the house, Baver- stock declared, the men slashed his throat and pinned him between the bed and’ a wall after which they set fire to the building and departed. He released himself in a short time and ran tb the home of a neighbor where he collapsed after telling cf the attack. Neighbors who extinguishoad the fire found Mrs. Baverstock's body.

He asked the police officer if he, in the dark, could tell by the sense of smell alone, the difference between gin and whiskey, gin and Peruna and gin and Sloan’s liniment. The reply was “yes.” The “agent”, was called to the stand by Prosecuting Attorney J. C. Woods, although “agents” are rare- Iy brought into court. He said he asked for gin and was given the bot- tle offered as evidence, paying Dro- begg $1.20 The money was placed in the cash register, he said. The witness said he didn't kmow whether he was to be paid for bis services or not. After several more questions by the defense counsel, he asked if It was reasomable to suppose that ke was going to work for noth- ing. He told Judge Mangan that he didn’t get paid when he didn’t secuie evidence but d&id when he furnished the goods. He then added that he always found evidence on his visits. Policeman Strolls found two bot- tles alleged to bave centained whis- key. Ome was to be used for mak- ing-arnica, Drobegz told him.
