Notes:

MURDERS IN WATERLOO COUNTY

For the 6^th time, (in the history of our county, as far as we know definitely,) someone has been marked with the sign of Cain, in that he has stained his hands with the blood of a fellow human-being. As is usually the case with such crimes, there were no eyewitnesses to the horrible deed except the murderer himself and his victim, who has been silenced forever. Of the 5 known murder cases, only 2 came to trial, and in each of these, the accused was released, exempt from punishment.

The first case of which we have any information concerns an old Tiroler who resided in this area about 30 years ago and who disappeared inexplicably. For verification of the matter, nothing further appears to have come to light and the case never came to trial. A second case took place in Galt, also several years ago. In the Queen's Hotel there, Richard Lowell threw a boot-jack at the head of the negro cook. The cook's skull appears not to have had the customary thickness of most of his fellow countrymen, with the result that the victim died of his injuries.

On November 5, 1885, a youth, named Jertz, was killed on a farm near Strassburg, in the barn. A former worker on the place, named Ravennes, was arrested and despite strong circumstantial evidence, was released; he had confessed his guilt before the police chief of Galt. Since then, he has been accused of several crimes in the U.S. and now is confined under lock and key. On July 16^th, 1891, an old man Zackmann, by name, was shot in Lexington by Edward Stricker; the latter, along with several comrades, had serenaded the man, who lived alone with his wife, and a lot of nonsense took place at the same time. The coroner's jury found Stricker guilty of murder; he, however, had escaped and the indictment, apparently, was dropped. The 5^th case, the stabbing of Michael Haus by Martin Reinhardt on December 19, 1891 in New Germany, is known to everyone. The deed could not be denied, but strong extenuating circumstances existed and the accused had these to thank for his acquittal.

In the most recent case, a fight also appears to have been the cause of the deed. Whether the prisoner, or someone else, committed the deed, still has to be decided and this can only be determined by circumstantial evidence. In any case, this case exceeds the earlier ones in the atrocity of the perpetrator, who attacked his victim like someone possessed and then, to make sure the job was done, cut his throat.
