Injured Man's Mind Blank

1916

May Never Be Able to Tell of Wife's Slaying.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin. — The mystery of the murder of Mrs. Julia Demin may have been locked in the bruised, incurably injured brain of her husband, Louis Demin, whose skull was fractured when she was killed, supposedly by a burglar.

Demin is recovering from his physical wounds in the city hospital, but all efforts to get him in a condition to describe the events of the fatal night have failed.

It is now feared that when Mrs. Demin was killed her husband was so badly injured about the head that he will never recover his mental strength.
