SLAYS BROTHER
AND HIDES BODY
|
Boy Confesses to Ghastly |
Murder Following Quar-
rel Over Car.
Stevens Point, Wis.—The murder of
his brother, in cold blood, was con
tessed here recently by Anton Riske, |
seventeen, after a neighbor's boy ob |
the way to school found pools of froz-
en blood on the road, mingled with |
bits of brain tissue which proved upon |
examination to be human. The body
of the slain youth was recovered later
from the Wisconsin river.
Riske said that he and his brother
John, twenty-five, who lived with their |
widowed mother, Mrs. Mary Riske, on
a farm in the town of Carsons, had |
been having trouble over use of John's
car and that he determined to kil
John.
“When we went out in the car,” he
told District Atorney John Meleski
and Sheriff John Kubisiak, “1 took
my shotgun along and sat in the back
seat. I said 1 would use it to scare
some dogs that always ran out at us
[ loaded the gun while John drove and
when we got by a big stubble field
[ aimed at the back of his head and
pulled the trigger.
Put Body Through Ice.
“John didn’t move, but the car ran
into the ditch and stopped. I could
see some lights coming and I was
afrald somebody would see that he
was dead, so I dragged him around
back of the car and fastened him by |
the leg to the bumper with a tir
chain. Then I drove away back in the
stubble field and turned out mm
lights.”
Anton sald that he unfastened thi
+hain in the field and loaded the body
into the back seat of the car. Then
when the approaching car had passed
he drove out of the field and over to
highway 10, from which a small side
road took him to a river landing. He
drove a mile up the river on the fee |
to a spot where he knew a hole war
kept open to water teams.
With a pole kept there for the pur-
pose, he broke the thin ice on the
water hole and pushed his brother's |
body head first into the river. He
pointed out the place and at the firs!
Iynge with a long pike pole a deputy
sheriff brought up the body. John |
Riske had been shot in the righ |
temple. i
Anton went home and wiped out |
the car with rags. He bid the bloody
rags, including his kundkerchief, un
der the hay in the barn, with one of
John's oxfords which had come off
in the car. He put his brother blood
stained overshoes in the house.
n the slayer wrote a note and |
signed his brother's name, saying that
John had gone away with another fel- |
low and would never return. He ad
dressed it to iiis mother and she found |
it the next day. i
When Joseph Olszewski, seven, ran
home to his father and said that some- |
body had been killed on the road.
Adam Olszewski put him off with the
remark that a dog probably had been
hit. The boy, however, was 80 excited
and so insistent that the father finally
went with him to the spot. He trailed
the bloody circle through the fleld and
remembered that he had seen the |
lights of a car there the night before.
Olszewski picked up pleces of brain
tissue and brought them here to Dr.
Carl Von Neupert, county physician.
who said at once that they were hu: |
man tissue.
Discover Bloolstains.
The discovery led to rumors that
Mrs, Riske had been killed. Only two
farms are on that road, the Riske and/
the Olszewski places. Officers weni
to the Miske home and found Mrs
Riske there. She said that everybody |
was all right on her farm except that
John had gone away. i
Anton was taken from a wood-cut- |
ting job and questioned. He sald that |
he had taken John over to & neigh |
bor's place but the officers found that |
this neighbor had left for northern |
Wisconsin the day before. Then An:
ton said that John had gone to un
dance with the car and must have |
got Into a fight because the car was |
bloody. |
County authorities were thoroughly |
suspicious of Anton by this time and |
they went to the Riske farm again
for a thorough search. This time the)
discovered blood at the pump and the
things hidden in the barn. The seat:
of John's car were found te have beer
saturated with blood. |
When Anton was confronted wit!
this evidence, he confessed. |
