Suspected of five husband-murders.
***
FULL TEXT: Berlin, Nov. 18. – While the United States has
produced a number of gentlemen with many wives we have gone one step further in
this city and have given to the world a female Bluebeard in the person of Frau
Anna Bergmann of Berlin, whose latest deceased husband was Johann Bergmann.
A woman of extreme beauty, she married when she was eighteen
years of age, but her husband died after three years of unhappy married life.
Her second husband died suddenly and her third shot himself. Suspicious
circumstances point to the fact that a revolver had been placed in his hand
after death.
In Paris she had three or four more matrimonial experiences,
all ending disastrously to her husbands, and now the body of the last husband
has been and poison has been found and the trial is to begin.
