Wholesale Killer In Germany Sane Berlin.—Another, and probably the final chapter, has been added to the gruesome story of Peter Kuerten, notorious Duesseldorf killer, sentenced to death and exe cuted on July 2, 1931 the German Institute for Physical Research (Munich > now has reported to the Prusian Ministry of Justice that no abnormal brain can account for Kurten’s misdeeds. | For months Kuerten's mysterious | murders tested the acumen of the ! German police, kept newspaper read ;ers the world over in suspense and j horrified the peaceful citizens of Duesseldorf. The silent disappear ance of a housemaid, or the discov ery of a child's mutilated body in 'a swamp on Duesseldorf s outskirts were among the numerous incidents punctuating the countrywide hunt I for the anonymous murderer in 1930 On one occasion, in his exuber ance at evading detectloruKuerten I even sent a newspaper an resigned | diagram of the spot at which his | last victim could be found'' His ex uberance at evading detection, Kuer Iten even sent a newspaper an un 1 signed diagram of the spot at which his last victim could be found. His exposure ultimately occurred through a complete confession made to his wife, herself surprised and overwhelmed by the revelation that I her husband was the man for whom iall Germany hunted. Although the number of his vic tims was variously stated to be be ; tween ten and twenty, the police I were unable to ascertain whether all I his admissions of guilt were genuine j or some were made in spirit of bravado. The Psychiatrical Institute in Munich, to which Kuertens brain was entrusted for dissection after he had; met death beneath the guil lotine, after subjecting the tissues to microscopic scrutiny, announced that all sections of the brain were in a normal condition. Scientific in vestigation led the Institute to state that neither disease nor anatomical deformities could be found. The In stitute for Anatomic Biology of the University of Berlin, which... also studied Kuerten's brain, came to the same conclusion. Col. Cleveland Retires To S.C.; There He Was A Judge; Loses His Fat And Dies At Breakfast Table (Last of a series of articles deal ing with Col. Benjamin Cleveland for whom Cleveland county was named. The author W. fc. White, county historian will begin *oon a series about Col. Isaac Shelby.I At the close of the war Colonel j Cleveland turned his -attention to t the pursuits of peace As he had j lost his title to his fine Round about plantation on the Yadkin, he decided to go to South Carolina In quest of more land So in 1781 he visited the Tugalo valley of that state, and made his selection of a new home in the forks of the Tuga lo river and Chauga creek. In the present county of Oconee. To this place he removed the following year, accompanied by a number of his relatives and old companions in arms Not long after Cleveland s re moval to the north-western part of South Carolina he had gome trou ble with the Cherokee Indiana of that section. In November 1785. the treaty of Hopewell had been made with these Indians who had agreed to bury the hatchet and to relin quish all claims to the territory east of the Tugalo But It appears that the terms of this treaty were not strictly kept, and while a sort, of quasi war was brewing between the whites and the red men the Utter stole some of Cleveland's stock. The valiant colonel accordingly buckled on his trusty hunting knife and went in person to the Cherokee towns, demanding the restoration of his property within a given time or else the last one of them should pay tlie forfeit with his life. The Indians were greatly surprised at his enormous size of more than 300 pounds, and judged that It would take 100 good warriors to cope with him single-handed. So the colon ?ls stock was promptly restored. But Cleveland dealt sternly with other violators of the law besides the red men after he became a cltl sen of South Carolina. A notorious character of that region named Henry Dinkins, a Tory of the Rev olution, had taken refuge among the Cherokees, and had induced a couple of negroes to flee with him. Dinkins accompanied by these coU ored men, made plundering raids on the Tugaloo. terrorizing the people of that locality. All three of these desperadoes were well armed and well mounted, but a man had come into that section who knew how to deal with them. Colonel Cleveland heard of their approach, snatched up his rifle, way-laid their trail one night, and captured all of them After some assistance had come to his aid, Cleveland decided that the best disposition to make of Dinkins was to hang him on the spot, which was accordingly done. The execu ted outlaw had such a reputation, for evil that the whole country re joiced at being rid of him without stopping to inquire whether or not the particular mode cf his exit was exactly in accordance with the let ter of the law. The capturing of Henry Dinkins, however, was not the only public service rendered by Colonel Cleve land in South Carolina. For many years he served as a judge of the court of old Pendleton county with General Pickens and Colonel Robert Anderson as his associates. It is said that Judge Cleveland frequently took a "snooze” on the bench while the lawyers were making their long speeches. If "his honor” snored too loudly, his judicial associates would give him a nudge and wake him up Nevertheless, he administered jus tice promptly and fairly. In 1793 he ran for the legislature, but, was de feated by the narrow margin of 70 votes. As Colonel Cleveland advanced in years, his health began to fail. For several summers prior to his death, he suffered from dropsy in his lower liifTbs, and during the last year of his life hi* excessive fat de creased considerably. He died sit ting at breakfast ii: October. 1806. at the age of 68 years. His wife had preceded him to the grave some six years before. He was survived by two sons and a daughter, whose de scendants are numerous and re spectable. One of them married General Thomas R. Rusk, one of the leaders in acquiring Texan in dependence, while another became the wife of Hon. Charles J. McDon ald, a former governor of Georgia. In middle life Colonel Cleveland was a little less than six feet tall, possessed an intelligent countenance, was of a jovial nature, and was also a man of immense physical propor tions as has already been stated. In many respects he was an ex ceptional man. His education was very limited, but his intellect was vigorous, and he exerted a com manding influence among the fron tier people. Though he was despot ic in his nature, and severe on the Tories, his patriotic activities did much to preserve the western por ton of the Carolina* .from British and Tory control. This gallant hero of Kings Mounts n fame now sleeps in the family burial ground on bis old plantation, beautifully situated in the forms of the Tugalo and Chauga. While ft is said that no monument or memorial stone points out his silent resting place, the memory of him will ever be kept alive so long as one of the leading counties in Ncrth Carolina bears his name. Whatever his short i-omincs may have been he was loyalwbrave and honest and a lead er of the loftiest patriotism. He was a steadfast, champion of )tberty*ln those perilous times that tried men's souls. . Sentenced to Death Convicted of murdering Senorita Tonia Casillas two years ago while intoxicated, Miguel Ahumada, son of the late Governor of the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, has been sen* fenced to be shot at Guadalajara. Ahumada is a graduate of Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He admit* ted he had no recollection of events at the time of the crime.
