ing Herself In a Lake in
Switzerland

KARLSBUHE, Germany, June 8.-—
Karl Han. who has been under arrest
here for some time charged with the
murder of his mother-in-law, Frau
Moliter, at Baden-Baden, In Novem-
ber, last, confessed today, that he was
guilty of the crime. Hau's confession
followed the news that his wife had
committed suicide by throwing herself
In a lake in Switzerland whether she
had gone. after the double affliction of
the death of her mother and the arrest
of her husband had befallen her.

Han was told oi’ her death today, and
this culminating tragedy, apparently,
was too much for him as he broke
down and confessed that he was guilty
of his wife's mother's death, a crime
he had hitherto strenuously denied.

Hau's case has attracted much at-
tention in Germany, England, and the
United States. Although a German by
birth he had~lived for some time in
Washington, where he was wall-known
both socially and in the legal profes-
sion. Money troubles prompted Hau's
crime.

Hau’s confession was made to the
governor of the prison.

The confession was taken down in
writing and will be used against him
at his approaching trial. Hall was in
such a state of nervous prostration
when taken back to his cell that the
prison physician was sent for.

The crime of Karl Han has attracted
great attention owing to the high
: standing of the prisoner, his intellec-

tual gifts and many peculiar aspects
of the case.

Han was born in Germany 27 years
ago, studied at the University of Frie-

; burg and Berlin and later went to

“ Washington with his wife and four
year old daughter. He married Lena
Moliter when he was a student of 19
against the wishes of her mother. Mrs.
Run is understood to have had a dower
of 850,000 which she entrusted to her
husband. The. latter graduated from
.. “Dig George Washington University in

’I 4 after having passed his examina-
tions brilliantly, resulting in his being
appointed professor of Roman law.
The same year he was admitted to the
bar and practiced his profession
Washington up to the time of his go‘
lug abroad with his family about a
year ago. Hau’s father was a former
member of the Reichstag and his mo-
ther was a baroness.

After leaving the United States Hau
first went to Constantinople and later
he wont to Baden Billion with his wife
and child to visit his Inotthn-luw.
Frau Moliter. Towards the end of Oct-
ober Han left Baden Baden to return
to the United States, according to his
announced intentions. On November
5, Frau Moliter received a telephone
message at her home in Baden Badcu
asking her to go to the postoiiice and
get a. parcel. Frau Molltcr started for
the postoffice and while passing
through a quiet. street, was shot from
behind and fell dead with a bullet
through her heart. 'l‘hc assassin, a
man. who wore a false beard, escaped
to Frankfort and from there went to
London, to which city his wife had pre-
viously preceded hint] lie was arrest.-
ed in London on November 7, the in-
vestigation of the police of linden lin-
den having clcariy connected Hun
with the murder of his inothcr-in-luw.
due mainly to the fact that u sm-vnnt
at the Iatter’s house who received a tc~
lephone message calling Frau Molitcr
to the postofiice said she bclicvcd it
was Han who spoke to hcr. Hun pro-
tested that he was innoccnt, but his
extradition was grunt-:d, and he lcit

ed until her death on 'l‘hursdny, Inwa—
tlgations developed that Mrs. liau's
father left considerable property to his
wife and children and that the greater
part of the estate was to go to Mrs.
Han upon the death of her mother,
which seemed to furnish the real mo»
tive for Hau's crime.

BEBTI'IA BEILSTEIN -
DIES IN LOS ANGELES

Killed Her Mother, Causing Her
Brother and Uncle to Commit
Suicide in Allegheny

 

 

DOS ANGELICS, Cal, June 8.—-It de-
veloped last night that a young wo
man known as Miss Olga Miller, who
died in a hospital on May 21,‘was Miss
Bertha Beilsteln, of Allegheny. Pa.,
who several years ago shot and killed
her mother. The mother's death was
foilewed by the. suicide of Miss. Bell-
stein's brother and uncle and the
daughter's attempt at self—destruction.
Miss Beiistein, it is said, was loop to
be married.

In connection with the death of
Miss Beilstein, who escaped from the
moat Asylum for the insane in Sep-
tember, 1906., Edmund W. Wander,
said ins night:

“i aided Miss Bellsteln while she
was here out of friendship for the fam
ily. l nursed her as a child and she
wrote me many pathetic letters from
the Allegheny County jail right after
she had killed her mother. She also
wrote me from the insane Asylum at
Dixmont.

“She escaped from the asylum be-
tween the tenth and twentieth of Oc-
tober last and reached my mother's
early one Saturday morning. She was
drenched with rain. ,My mother gave
her a bath and she. remained there
two days.

“Fred Beilstein, the brother and my
brother Alfred and I together raised
$100 and sent her to Los Angeles.

“At Los Angeles she remained with
relatives of mine until they came back
toChicago. Then she got a place as
dining room girl at the Roseland Ho-
tel and earned $30 per month. After
a time she wrote us that. Richard C.
Hardy wanted to marry her. She said
she told him her full life's history. We
advised her to wait.

”On May 21 I received a letter from
Bertha saying she was In line. health.
The some day I received a letter from
Hardy saying slic‘wns low and need-
ed money. Fred llcilstein and l rais-
850 and sent it.

“Hardy was arrested on the charge
of putting poison in her milk, but when
the autopsy disclosed that she died
from a tumor on the brain he was rc-
leased.”

In her lust. letter to Wander, Bertha
Beilstein asked it' it would be safe to
get back to Alleghcny ‘soon' and claim
her sharo of her mother's estate. In the
letter she said: "You know the awful
and frightful conditions under which
I left Pittsburg. I fear being caught
and placed among those lunatics.

Chicago relutlvcs claim that certain
Pittsburg relatives sometime ago
spread the report that Bertha had
gone to Europe “to deprive her of a
share In her mother's estate." The es-
tate today is worth about $6,000. Ber-
tha‘s trial cost the family $11,000.

in.

When a chamber was (\titorcd the

Vote, Succeods Himself as
Commitioeman—-0ther Offi-

ments to School House Dis-
cussed, But Not Voted

 

 

One of the most largely attended
and warmly contested meetings ever
held by the South Five Mile River
(Rowaytou) School District was that
of last evening. The room the meet-
ing was held in was crowded to its
capacity, with more than eighty five
residents of the village. The voters
were called to order by Captain Char-
les W. Bell, and Harry S. Bryan was
elected clerk. Following the reading
of the call, there were reports from the
treasurer, collector and auditors.

The election of offices for the en-
suing year was the first business taken
up, the selections of the officers being
made by ballot. The tcilcrs appointed
were Elblrt S. Marsh, George w.

Stevens and Eugene Cushman. The

vote for committecmun stood:

Whole number cast. ............. 84

Necessary to a choice, .......... 4:

Earl S. Thames, ............. 50
Oscar Mills, .................. 38
Albert Mills_ .................. . I

Mr. 'i‘honies, who has beencommit-
teemnn for several years, and' given
general satisfaction was then declain
ed elected. .

The clerk of the meeting was in-
structed to cast onc ballot for E. Ill}
ward Every for treasurer, which was
done, Mr. Evory succeeded himself.

By the same method James 1C Ste-
vens was chosen to succeed himself as
treasurer, and Mr. Bryan was again
rc-clected clerk. For auditors John H.
Coates and Abraham B. Cleverly were
nominated and elected.

Committceman ’I‘homcs then an
nounced that E. R. i’ennoyer had offer-
ed to present the school with a very
fine collection of minerals, and the
tender was unanimously accepted, and
'I. vote of thanks will be given by the
clerk, for the district, to Mr. Penno
yor. A lengthy discussion then on
sued over the purchase of a cabinet
four feet high and three feet wide in
which to properly keep the. minerals
The matter was finally disposed of by
a committee being appointed to pro
vidc the said cabinet at a cost not
to exceed 350. it was also moved and
adoptcd that the treasurer be instruct-
ed to pay the. bill after if was properly
auditcd.

Captain William i. Stevens made an
cut-nest plea that the salary of the ja-
niior be increased to $40 a month. He
said that the job was worth all of that
and wore, and besides he ought I(‘
have it anyway, it was declared, on
account of the high cost of living. His
remarks were warmly applauded.
This also called for it good dcul of dis-
cussion. which resulted finally in the
columiiicc bcing instructed to add so
much to the budget as was necessary
to pay a salary of $40 a month to the
janitor. Before this can be. definitely
settled, however, the matter will have
to come before the board of selecitnen
and school visitors of the town, who
will link! It joint meeting before long.
This was moved and curricd. The
Inccting then iltijtllll'lit‘ti‘ after a spirit-
ed discussion had taken place regard-
ing some suggested improvements that
might be made in regard to drainage,
plastering one of the walls of the
school house and the taking out or
covering of the end of the. old hot air
heater pipes so as to prevent the dust
and gas coming into the rooms.

Ran Across the Road Onto the
Sidewalk in Front of Joseph
T. Owings’ Residence Before
it Stopped

 

 

 

An open trolley car, in charge of
Conductor Edward lx’liuc and Motor-
mnn Eugene Clark, jumped thc. track
inEust uveliuc about 11:45 this morn-
ing and the eight or ten passengers
and crew had the fright of their lives.

Conductor Kline was thrown off. but
aside from slight bruises is not
thought to have been injured. None of
the passengers was injured so far as
is known. Among the passengers were
two ladies.

But for presence of mind of Motor-
nnn Clark, who stuck to his post and
set-up" the brake. serious damage
might easily have resulted, for the de-
railed car made a dash for the side-
walk and in fact, mounted it. During
‘he intcrview between the time the
car left the track and was stopped,
those aboard expected to see the. car
go through the iron fence in front of
the residence of Joseph T. Owings.
who owns the former Vunderhoef
place.

it Is supposed that the accident was
due to a stone on one of the rails. The
car was bowling along at a good pace
and was due at. the. corner of Wall and
Main streets at 11:30. .

The wrecking crew was sent for and
the car gotten back on the rails with-
out special trouble.

The most four entertained result
froln the accident is for one of the
lady passengers, who is in a precarious
condition and was badly frightened.

FINED FOR ASSAULTING WOMAN.

The trial of John Mclnughlln, of
Cross street, charged with making a.
disturbance and striking Mrs. Jacon
Broadhnrst last Tuesday, was taken
up this morning before Judge Taylor.
Both families live in the same house
and there seems to be a sort of feud
between them. Mciioughlin had a
brain storm Tuesday. and sought to
pulverize Mr, Broadhurst. Mrs, Broad-
hurst came in his wav and he struck
her. knockln her ass hat a gas range.
and hurting or back. A fine of $10
and costs was imposed.

day evening. by a fire which appeared
in the henncry on Mrs. Mary Walsh's
place near the Standard Oil Company's

was about 8100. The noivhhors could
do nothing to save the building as the
fire had gained- snmi headway. and

Counsel for Florence Will Fight

Bell Solo Executor, as Grand-
son and Judge Lockwood Ile-
olined to Act in That Capacity

 

The will of the late Andrew .1. Bell
was admited to probate, Thursday of-
ternoon, in Stamford, by Judge Joseph
E. Russell, of Greenwich. who had
been cited by Judge Charles I). Lock-
wood to pass on the petition for pro-
bate. Judge Lockwood is dcbarrcd
from sitting in judgment in the case
because of his relationship to a bone
tlciary under the will.

Just before the linu- set for hear—
ing, Judge Inckwood, who represented
the executors, received a telegram
front Avery & Schlesinger. of New
York, counsel for Miss Florence Bell,
who is contesting the will, stating that
they would ask for no further contin-
uance of the case, but would reserve
contest for the Superior Court. The
hearing had been continued two or
three times at their request.

Judge Lockwood submitted the tele-
erum to his Honor. and naked that
the will be admitted. Judsc Russell
made a formal order admitting the
Instrument to probate.

The will conveys property of an es
timated value of less than 850.000. but
this amount does not by any means
represent the entire estate of the latr
Andrew J. Bcll. Specific mention is
made in the instrument of certain
deeds by which parcels of his real cs-
Intc were transferred to his children
and grandchildren. The instrument
ratifies and confirms these deeds. The
value of the real estate so transferred
is estimated at about $200,000. It is
understood that Miss Bell will ques-
tion the validity of these transfers in
thc Superior Court. She is contestine
the will on the. ground of alleged un-
duo influence and there may be a fur-
ther allegation of testamentary lnca
purity.

The will was drawn April 15, 190].
and there are three codicils dated. re
spectively, March 21. 1902: August 8.
1904. and December 15, 1906. The first
and third refer to matters of no gen-
eral interest. The second cuts off
Florence, ‘Bcil absolutely from any
share in the estate, and directs that
her portion be. divided among the. oth-
er legatee. Miss Bell is n granddaught-
er of the testator.

The will refers to a trust fund‘to
be administered by the Stamford
Trust Company for the testator‘s wife
during her life. and it also creates a
trust of the residue of the estate to
be. administered by said Trust Com-
pany for the benefit of the testator‘s
chihlrcnnlinrry Bell, of Stamford;
Georgiana licckcr. of Staten Island,
and M. louisv Vincent, of Rowayton—
and for his grandchild. Jessie Borden,
of Hartford. Upon the death of the
children or the grandchild, the prin-
cipal is to go to their lawful Issue.
Should the granddaughter die leaving
no issue, her share Is to be divided
equally among the issue of the tests;
