TWO IN PERIL
Infuriated Brooklyn Woman,
Divorced From Husband,
Attacks Her Children
•By Associated Press
Detroit, Mich., Sept- f>.—Mrs.
Claire Madeleine Xeinstedt, of
Brooklyn, X. Y., said to .be the
daughter of Lieutenant William
Manni/w, IT.l T . S. N., early yesterday
shot and killed her 8-year-old daugh
ter, Wilma, and chloroformed her
two other children, Bernard, 12, and
Claire, 10, at a leading downtown
hotel.
An elevator boy, answering a sig
nal from the eleventh floor of the
hotel, opened the door of the car to
discover Mrs. Xeinstedt, revolver in
hand, standing in the hall, crying
"I've killed her," according to Lite
police. The woman fell in a faint
, into the elevator. At the hospital
to which she .was taken, together
with the two drugged children, Mrs.
Xeinstedt was reported last night to
be in a dazed condition, professing
to remember nothing of what tran
spired in the hotel room.
The body cf the 8-year-old girl
was found lying at the foot of the
bed, a bullet through her heart.
When the detectives entered the
room they found the boy lying un
conscious rear the body of his sister.
Claire, the other child, who, how
ever, had recovered partially front
the effects of the chloroform, was
found hiding in the bath room, hav
ing been aroused by the discharge o'f
the revolver.
Mrs. Xeinstedt was granted a di
vorce in Detroit, in May, 1917, from
Bernhardt Xeinstedt. Jealousy,
caused by announcement of the mar
riage of a Detroit man, who is said
to have hem attentive to Mrs. Neiu
stedt, to a Chicago woman recently,
is believed by the police to have in
furiated the Brooklyn woman and
prompted the shooting.
