Baetz officiated Kitchener-Waterloo Record 29 Jan 1953 _____________ Murder Warrant Issued After Death of Elmira Child KITCHENER. - Provincial police, early Wednesday issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Paepcke of Elmira on a murder charge. The warrant came as a result of an autopsy performed on 4-year-old Glenis Denis Paepcke. The child died at her home on Tuesday. Dr. LeRoy Wagner and Dr. Donald F. Young were called to the house and then provincial police of the Kitchener detachment were summoned. In accounting for numerous bruises said to have been found on the child's body, Mrs. Paepcke told police that the youngster had fallen off the toilet in the bathroom. Mr. Paepeke was born in Elmira and his wife is believed to be a war bride. Waterloo Chronicle (Waterloo, On1868), 30 Jan 1953, p. 1 _______________ PREDICT FALL TRIAL FOR ELMIRA COUPLE The trial of Henry and Sheila Paepcke, Elmira, charged with assault following the death of their young daughter, will in all probability be held this fall. The case has been remanded several times in the past. Magistrate Locke committed the couple for higher court trial when they appeared before him this week. Both pleaded not guilty. The couple will now appear before a county court judge to elect trial by judge alone or by judge and jury, whichever they prefer. Crown Attorney Daufman speculated the trial would begin in September. The Paepckes were found not guilty of murdering the child and not guilty of manslaughter when they were tried by a judge and jury earlier this year. The charges were laid Jan. 28, the day after the bruised body of their daughter, Glenis, had been examined by doctors. Age of the child was given as three years, ten months. A post-mortem examination showed the baby died of a very extensive cerebral hemorrhage. Seventy-five bruises covered the baby from head to feet. The couple have been released on bail. Waterloo Chronicle, 3 Jul 1953, p. 1 ___________ Adjourn Dessertion Case Indefinety[sic] The charge under the Deserted Wives and Children's Maintenance Act, which had been laid against Henry W. Paepcke, Elmira, has been adjourned indefinitely after Mr. Paepcke and his wife were charged with murder in the death of their daughter, Glenis, on January 27. An autopsy of the three-year- old girl revealed a cerebral haemorrhage and bruises which allegedly led to her death. The couple had been taken into custody following the post mortem examinion.
