LETTER DISCLOSED MOTHER HAD BEEN BROODING OVER MARITAL WOES

KENWVOOD. Iowa, Aug. 30—(UP) The bodies of a comely brunette farm wife and her six children remained in a morgue here today after the mother had killed her six children and herself. A letter left in the family mail box disclosed the mother had been broodin over her marital woes and believed none of her children had a chance for happiness. Mrs. Elise Nollen, 30 years old, piped deadly carbon monoxide gas from the family automobile and led it into a first floor bedroom. Then while the motor pumped fumes into the bedroom, she gathered her children about her. The youngest was in her arms. The rest grouped about her on the floor. Nollen found th<^n there when he came home. The trouble began weeks ago, Mrs. Nollen’s letter said, but it was Saturday night that it came to a head. There was a bitter quarrel and Nollen went out to his automobile. “So I folowed him out and got in the car,” Mrs. Nollen’s letter said. “He acted smart and I asked him again where he was going and he got mad and told me it wasn’t any of my business.” Nollen went into the postoffice when the family reached Dennison. When he came out the car and his family were gone. He looked for them, he said, and at last went to visit friends. They finally took him home. When he-arrived there he’ found the family automobile backed against the side of the house. A hose ran from the exhaust into the bedroom window. The motor still was running. Inside the house were the bodies of Mrs. Nollen and the six children. Two-year-old Viola was in her arms. Orvin, 11; Wilbert, 10; Pauline, 7; Earl, 6, and Leona, 4, were grouped nearby. Sheriff A. C. Greene said they apparently were trying to crawl to their mother when overcome by the fumes. It was Nollen himself who discovered the tragic letter as he and the sheriff sat on the running board of the automobile awaiting the arrival of the undertaker. The 36-year-old farmer denied his wife’s charges to the sheriff and today was guarded closely. Greene said he repeatedly had threatened suicide. The sheriff said Mrs. Nollen accused her husband of excessive drinking and had unburdened herself to a friend in Dennison Saturday. She gave no indication of suicide then, however, and spent part of the afternoon buying books and school supplies for the children, who were to have returned to classes today after the Summer vacation,'
