Corm V™ FREELAND, PA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1900 WIFE MURDER IS CHARGED Alleged Clergyman Arrest ed Yesterday. D. E. Stuart, Who Claimed to Be a Baptist Minister, Must Face a Serious Ac cusation. The apparent suicide of the young wife of Rev. I). E. Stuart, a Baptist minister, who died two weeks ago in the upper end of the county, is now claimed to be murder, and on this charge her husband was arrested in Philadelphia yesterday by Constable Kulp, of Wilkes barre. The accused man was formerly pastor of the First Baptist church at Wyoming, near the county seat. Little more than three months lie was married to Miss Mary Harris, a pretty girl of Parsons, and they went to live at the parsonage at Wyoming. Ten days before her death she was taken ill. Stuart was her almost con stant attendant, nursing her day and night. Finally on Sunday, the 4th Inst., he spent the afternoon with his wife, who seemed to be somewhat better. In the evening whllo the family was at supper Stuart left the sick room and wont downstairs. Some time later one of the wife's cousins, going to her room to see if Mrs. Stuart wanted anything, found her moaning. A bottle which had contain ed carbolic acid was by her side. Her mouth was terribly burned and she was in great agony. Doctors were sum moned and said the case was hopeless. Mrs. Stuart died a few minutes after they arrived. There were somo suspicious circum stances about tho case whicli were not noticeable at first. The story was given out that Mrs. Stuart had committed suicide, but her relatives were puzzled. Her husband said that she had been despondent for a long time, and at tributed her suicide to that. Mrs. Stuart's relatives did not accept the suicide theory, as the girl was not of a despondent disposition. The coroner's jury hoard the evidence in the case and returned a verdict of death by carbolic acid poisoning, 'l'hero tho case appa rently ended, for the funeral took place without more inquiries being made. But the physicians who knew of the caso wore not satisfied, and they began making inquiries, aided by Constable Kulp. What they learned is not known, but they say there was enough to war rant the arrest of the minister. On Monday Dr. Whitney, of Plymouth, had the body ex burned by permission of the coroner, and performed an autopsy. What the result was he will not make known until the trial. Rev. D. E. Stuart resigned from the church about six weeks ago, just about the time his wife was taken sick. His resignation is alleged to have.been under a cloud. He left for Philadelphia a short time after the funeral of his wife. Upon the arrival of the prisoner at Wilkesbarre yesterday he rofused to say anything about the charges preferred against him. He asked to see a lawyer and was taken to the office of Attorneys McQuade & Feist, who took charge of the case p.nd advised him not to speak to anyone, and ho lias obeyed them. Stuart was taken to Wyoming before Squire Hess, where the warrant had been sworn out. Only a minor charge was preferred at this hearing, that of murder being reserved for a few days. Stuart pleaded not guilty and tho jus tice admitted him to bail in tho sum of $1,500 for a hearing today. Tho bail was furnished by John Do Wolfe, with whom Stuart formerly boarded. Last night Stuart admitted that he is not and never was a Baptist minister. Ho confessed it to Constable Kulp while 011 the train from Philadelphia, and re peated it after his arrival to his attor ney, Elmer G. Feist.
