No Proof Of Killing Wife In New York Case
Matthias Wolf of 520 East Eighty-fifth Street was discharged after Coroner Winterbottom found no evidence to support claims by his brother in law Matthias Winder of 118 West 114th Street that Wolf killed his first wife Barbara with a lamp on February 20, 1910. Winder, held as a material witness in $100 bail, gave a contradictory statement. Police and coroners noted the inquiry showed no corroboration and Wolf’s character was not blemished. An anonymous letter prompted police to act, arriving the day Wolf remarried.
