On this date in 1923, the murder trial of Kasimir Schneider began. Kasimir, an ice cream maker, was accused of murdering his second wife, Amelia. Kasimir and his first wife, Magdalena, came to the United States from Russia in 1905, settling in Bismarck. Magdalena died in child birth in 1921. The baby survived, and only five months later Kasimir married Amelia just three days after meeting her. He took out a $2,000 life insurance policy on his young wife.
