    THE MURDER NEAR BRESLAU

    The brutal murder of Albert Jeanneret near Breslau was naturally the main topic of conversation in the past week. The hearing of the accused, August Kurschinski, before Judge Mackie on Wednesday afternoon did little to clarify the matter, and the continuation of the interrogation was post-poned until yesterday, Wednesday. On Thursday evening, Detective Grier from Toronto arrived and on Friday, he went to Breslau to view the scene of the crime. Newspaper correspondents and curiosity seekers visited the swamp, to see with their own eyes the spot where Jeanneret was found.

    There is little to add to our report of last week. The disappearance of the victim first caused concern on Monday morning and in the afternoon, close to 35 men went out on a search. Shortly before 4 o'clock, the body was found as already described; the pail and hat of the victim were found close by, as well as blood-stained chips of wood which had flown off the murderer's cudgel with each blow. There were deep gashes above the left eye and on the back of the head; the left ear was almost severed completely and there were at least 6 wounds on the right side of the head. The right arm and shoulder were smashed and severely swollen. The gash in the neck seemed to have been made with a dull knife after death had occurred. It was so deep that the spine was visible from above. The ground in the area of death was trampled underfoot and clearly shows that a bitter struggle took place. The murderer must have lost his senses completely as a result of the resistance of his victim, for otherwise, he would not have treated him so shamefully.

    August Kurschinski, who was arrested on suspicion of murder, is a neighbour of Mr. Hagey, at whose home Jeanneret resided. He is about 50 years old and has lived for 4 or 5 years in the area with his wife and several children. The Sunday before last, his wife and a daughter drove to Bloomingdale in the morning. The horse was frightened by a bicycle, galloped off and tipped over the carriage. Mrs. Kurschinski suffered severe injuries and was carried into the house of Mr. Noah Detweiler and her husband was informed immediately of the accident. He arrived towards noon, soon returned home however to feed his livestock and then returned towards 4:30pm. When he entered the house, he wore his hat on the back of his head and Mrs. Detweiler noticed several injuries on his forehead and between his eyes. As she had not noticed these before, she asked where he had injured himself. He appeared embarrassed, quickly pulled his hat forward and said that the hat didn't fit properly and the sun had burned his face.

    Hagey's sister and others heard a while ago that Kurschinski and Jeanneret were in disagreement with one another, because the former refused to pay the latter the usual sum for permission to pick berries. Kurschinski is said to have uttered a threat, moreover. On Sunday afternoon, Kurschinski's children who were at home alone, told some people who were looking for their father, that he was in the woods. A search of the house of the accused produced nothing. His pocket- knife showed several rust marks, whose origin will be investigated by a microscopic examination. Kurschinski wore a blue shirt on Sunday morning and it, as well as other pieces of clothing, had disappeared. In the medical examination of the body by Doctors Lackner and Bowlby, the condition of the stomach showed that death had occurred about 2 hours after a meal. Since Jeanneret dined at 1:00pm, the murder must have taken place between 3:00 and 4:00pm.

    Those are the grounds for suspicion which at present exist against Kurschinski. He himself insists that he had not spoken with Jeanneret for more than a week before his death. And he had also paid him for the berry-picking. One of the injuries on his face came from a tree branch against which he had fallen. A few days ago, he had injured his forehead while digging a ditch and he had also cut himself while shaving. Sunday afternoon he had had a nap in the barn after he had fed the cattle. The stains on the blade of his pocket-knife came from cutting tobacco. On Friday, at the instigation of his lawyer, Mr. Mowat of Guelph, the injuries on his face were examined by 6 doctors. In Kurschinski's house, things are in a sad state; his wife is in bed as a consequence of the injuries received in the accident on the Sunday before last, and the serious accusation against the father and provider weighs heavily on his next-of-kin. A brother of the accused lives in Berlin near the high-school.

    The interrogation of the prisoner on Wednesday (yesterday) was postponed until next Wednesday so that all the evidence could be at hand. The prisoner is quite alone in a cell at the jail, and no-one may speak with him with the exception of his lawyer, his spiritual mentor and the jailer. The injuries on Kurschinski's face are beginning to disappear; they were examined again by Dr. Duck of Preston.
    Clothing was found in Kurschinski's residence, but it is not known if it was worn by Kurschinski the Sunday before last. No blood stains were found on it. On the order of the administration, the body of the murdered man was exhumed on Monday morning and the fingertips were cut off by Drs. D.S. & G.H.
    Bowlby, Lackner and Clemens. Professor Ellis in Toronto will investigate whether or not any pieces of skin from Kurschinski's face are present under the fingernails. Such a discovery would form the strongest circumstantial evidence, but it is not likely, since the body was washed before burial.

    The branches of the trees on Kurchinski's property, against which he is said to have fallen, are all taller than he is, himself, as has since been established.
