A MODERN BLUEBEARD.
INSURED WIVES POISONED. By Cables-Press Association—Copyright. Berlin, May 19. Karl Hoff,, formerly the world's foils champion, was arrested at Frakfort last month for poisoning two wives and attempting the life of a third. A quantity of cyanide of potassium and arsenic, and cultures of typhus and cholera bacilli, were discovered in his house. All the wives were heavily insured, the third for £4OOO. He has now confessed that he administered cholera germs to his third wife, and that meantime his housekeeper died of typhus.
