December
6, 1907 – Frederick “Fritz” Caseheimer, 69 years old and a
retired farmer in Delano, Wright County, Minn., died suddenly this morning. Dr.
Lares was called after he had expired, and the physician expressed the belief
that the death was due to poisoning. Coroner Moffett and County Attorney
Woolley will conduct the examination tomorrow morning.
Caseheimer had eaten breakfast at the usual hour and went outside to do his morning chores. In a short time he returned to the house and complained of having cramps. He was given hot water, but this failed to ease the pain and in a short time he was dead. Caseheimer was well-to-do and highly esteemed in his neighborhood. His wife, three boys and a married daughter survive him.

___________________________Mrs. Theresa Caseheimer, an aged woman of Buffalo, charged with the murder of her husband by poisoning, is being tried at that town. The stomach of Frederick Caseheimer was removed and taken to Minneapolis for examination by experts. Traces of poison were found. The state also showed at the preliminary examination that the woman had purchased poison at a drug store at Watertown, Minn. The evidence is circumstantial, but the state believes it has a strong case.

After being out five hours, the jury in the Caseheimer murder trial found Mrs. Theresa Caseheimer, the defendant, not guilty. After the judge had congratulated the jurymen for their attentiveness during the trial, the jury was discharged.
The scene in the courtroom was an impressive one. The members of the family crowded around their mother, shedding tears of joy.
The case has been one of great interest throughout the country because the circumstantial evidence brought up against the defendant was so strong.
Mrs. Caseheimer hereafter will make her home in St. Paul, where she has obtained employment.
