After
they were married it is said they often quarreled, and were apparently very
disagreeable in the company of each other. Last Sunday morning, after a serious
quarrel, Mrs. Maier left her home and went to her sister in another part of the
city. The two made up, however, and Mrs. Maier returned home last Monday,
taking with her a little sister.
About 2
o'clock Tuesday morning the heartless husband arrayed himself in the best
clothes, procured a revolver and fired four balls at his wife, all of them
taking effect. He then fled and has not been captured.
No one
was present to tell the story save the twelve-year-old sister of Mrs. Maier.
She was wounded in the hand by one of the balls, and was so badly scared she
could tell but very little of what occurred.
Maier
had a very bad reputation before the crime was committed; and had been
convicted of several smaller crimes.

wife last April, was hung in the
Maier died bravely. He spent the most
of his last night conversing with Rev. Father McElligott, his spiritual
adviser, and to him told the details of his escape and return after the murder,
which he had before kept to himself. Maier said he had returned in order to
kill himself on his wife's grave. He received extreme unction and at 10:30 the
death warrant was read to him. He showed great emotion on hearing it, but
quickly recovered himself. Shortly after 11 o'clock the march to the scaffold
began, Maier being accompanied by this trusted spiritual adviser. He ascended
the scaffold unassisted, but was accompanied by the priest and Sheriff. His
last words were an expression of hope to meet his dead wife in Heaven. Then
came the tragic end of all.
The body hung for half an hour and was
taken down and was examined by Drs. Wilson and Hupp, Jr., who pronounced him
dead. A Mr. Robinson of
The Crime
The crime of Wm. Maier was very brutal.
Early in the morning of April 5th, 1892, Maier, who was a German baker, shot
his young wife to death in their home at
Her story was that Maier had asked his
wife to kiss him before going to work and on her refusal, he pulled his pistol
and shot her four times. Maier claimed he knew nothing of the deed, and did not
remember any of the circumstances. He gave no clear idea of his whereabouts
after the murder. The only reason he gave for murder was that his wife had
threatened to leave him. After a trial of three days he was found guilty of
murder in the first degree. A motion for a new trial was made, but overruled,
and he was sentenced to be hanged Aug. 5. A stay of proceedings was granted,
and the case appealed to the Supreme Court of Appeals. A new trial was refused
and he was sentenced to die Nov. 18. A final effort to secure a commutation of
sentence from the Governor was made without success.

particular. The crowd numbered about

pleasantly in conversation and were royally entertained by W.F. Turner with
choice selections on the Graphophone. At
high noon an elegant dinner was served, such as Mrs. Latta and daughters are
competent to prepare. At a seasonable
hour in the afternoon the guests were served with delicious ice cream and

more such happy birthdays.

Examiner Latta Hurt
On his way from Miltonsburg to Woodsfield last Friday
to assist in holding the monthly school examination, Prof. T. L. Latta, vice
president of the board of school examiners, met with a painful accident. The
horse that he was riding fell in such a manner as to throw Mr. Latta on the
frozen ground with such violence that several ugly gashes were cut in his face
and he was otherwise badly bruised. Several stitches were required to close
some of the cuts; but the professor demonstrated some grit in attending to his
duties as examiner Saturday.
