Probable Murder

The Suspicious Death of a Junk Man’s Wife

A Quarrel Followed by a Brutal Beating—The Statements of a Son of the
Accused—What His Sister-in-Law Says.

Mrs. Ann WARREN, aged 34, died at her apartments in the two story frame
house in the rear of No. 59 North 10th street, yesterday morning. Her
sister-in-law Mrs. Sara KILPATRICK and her 12-year-old son Charley say death
was caused by the beating she received a week ago from her husband James
WARREN, a river junkman. The husband says death was caused by a drunken fall
or strangulation induced by the head hanging down from the lounge which she
was on while in a drunken stupor. Detective SHORT arrested WARREN and Justice
NAEHER held him to await the result of the post-mortem examination, which will
take place this afternoon.
