WIFE CHARGED WITH MURDER IN CARROLL B RABLEN DEATH
The mysterious death of Carroll B Rablen at Tuttletown on Friday night, April 26th, had led to an investigation of the case by Sheriff J H Dambacher, with the result that the wife of the deceased, Mrs Eva Rablen, has been arrested and charged with murder.
The sheriff found that young Rablen had gone to attend a dance at Tuttletown on the evening of the date mentioned, in company with his wife and his father, who played in the orchestra. As the young man did not dance he remained out in the car. About midnight he was given a sandwich and a cup of coffee, taken out to him by his wife. Soon after his cries of pain were heard by the dancers who carried him into the hall. Before he expired young Rablen told his father that the coffee tasted bitter.
The body was taken charge of by Coroner Josie Terzich and later in the day Dr R I Bromley preformed an autopsy and sent stomach contents to the chemist for analysis at the University of California. While waiting for the results of the chemical analysis Sheriff Dambacher got busy with his work of investigation.
The Sheriff found a small bottle which had contained strychnine near the pace where the Rablen car had been parked in Tuttletown. Taking this as a clue the Sheriff traced the bottle to Bigelow's drug store at Tuolumne. There he learned that a woman who gave the name of Mrs Joe William purchased a similar bottle of strychnine under the pretext of poisoning gophers from the druggist about 10 o'clock in the morning of that fateful day. She informed the clerks that she lived on a chicken ranch near the junction of the Sonora Mono road and the road to Soulsbyville.
In his investigation, Sheriff Dambacher found that both the person and the chicken ranch were mere fiction, so he went to the Rablen ranch and learned that Eva Rablen had left the ranch about nine o'clock on that Friday morning, which would give ample time for the trip to Tuolumne to secure the poison.
In the company of two other women the Sheriff took Mrs Rablen to the Bigelow drug store where both clerks, Mrs Warren Fahey and Walter E Ronten, positively identified her as the person who purchased the strychnine on the fateful morning.
The entire case was heavily, and in extreme detail, covered as front page news in all the following newspaper issues to May 18th, the trial took place June 10th and she was incarcerated for life at San Quentin Prison per the Jane 8th edition, as she confessed to the murder before the trial occurred.
