HUSBAND OF HELENE FAUST SHOT AS HE WAS ARRAIGN-' ED IN COURTIS:'::';HE was ACCUSED OF flSSftULIMrs. Faust jviade Totally Blind by aBlow Across the Forehead Thirty Years Ago.The contest of the will of Helene Faust, which was heard in the Probate court yesterday and which has been passed to next Monday, revives memories of a tragedy which occurred in New Braunfels some thirty yearsago.The tragedy consisted in the killingof a child and an assault upon Mrs. Faust, of which her husband was accused. He was arraigned in court and as he appeared before the bar hewas shot and killed by a person whoso name is unknown even to this very day.As a result of the injuries inflicted upon her, which consisted of a blow across the forehead, Mrs. Faust was made totally blind.She died on March 26 last and a will which has since been filed in the I probate court has caused the present contest, in which her brothers and j sister, Edward and Hugo Rhodius, and j Alvina Boettlnger, joined by her hus-i band, Ludwig Boetting^r, are the con-j testants against Harry and Lina M. Branch.A sensational feature of th^will is that one of the witnesses, Thomas J. J Dilwood, an aged negro, repudiates i the will as far as his signature is concerned, saying that he did not know it was a will he had signed.
