SCHLESWIG WOMAN TAKES PARIS GREEN AND DIES IN AGONY
PUBLICATION OF BEHNKE CASE DETAILS MAY HAVE SUGGESTED METHOD OF SUICIDE-LOCAL MAN MAKES BOTCH JOB
Was Mrs. Anna Hartman, a town of Schleswig woman, who committed suicide Saturday night, of impressionable mind and did the publication of the Behnke case at Collins, suggest the use of paris green by the woman?
This is the belief of officials here who are investigating the death of Mrs. Hartman who, suddenly taken ill Saturday night at 10, died Sunday morning at 6 o'clock after having suffered for hours from paris green poisoning, physicians being unable to save the woman.
No cause is known for the act of Mrs. Hartman, who was 45 years of age and the mother of two children, one a son of 20. At 10 o'clock Saturday night she was taken seriously ill and her condition indicated poison and later quantities of paris green were vomited up by the woman. Physicians who were called worked all night in an effort to save her life but the effort was futile and she died early in the morning.
Where Mrs. Hartman secured the poison is a mystery as no trace of paris green was found in a search of the premises and so far as known there was none in the house. Mrs. Hartman had not made purchase of the poison lately, so far as known to the family.
Though of a nervous temperament, Mrs. Hartman had not been seriously ill, and there had been no domestic troubles in the home and relatives are at a loss to account for her rash act.
Reports of the death of Mrs. Hartman and the circumstances surrounding it were received by District Atty Healy and Coroner Falge Sunday and the coroner is at Schleswig today to investigate, though the case is undoubtedly one of suicide.
