4 murder has been perpetrated Ia Austria
which recalls the famous Muller case 10 Eng
land In the latter the assessor stabbed his
victim in compartment railway train, rob-
bed him, and then fed TO Germany. But
fortunately for the purposes OF justice, IN his
haste he exchanged hats with his victim.
The hat found in the train was traced TO the
seller, and from him to the possession OF
Muller, and the latter was arrested and exc
cuted In Austria, in the beginning of last
month, Mr.. Ernest katscher left Brun in
the night train. Before his departure he
was seen in the railway saloon counting
some bonds and notes.
At one of the way stations that night the
guard opening the carriage found the body
of the unfortunate man, who bad evidently
been murdered. 1t was still warm, showing
that the assassination had been recently per-
petrated; while at the bottom of the car
riagc was discovered a pocket-knlte with
long blade, and with stains that only TOO
readily told the hideous tale OF the foul pur-
poses to which it had been last applied. A
few minutes examination of the COM
partment was sufficient to satisfy the
police that while Dir. katscher was
lying down asleep be had peen
suddenly stabbed in the throat. The
DlOW DdQ SeVeIcu lQe NiuupPSS Sthuo ASh0sSt
ing it impossible for the unfortunate man TO
call for assistance. The body had been strip.
ped of everything except a small gold
trinket, and the murderer had apparently
made good his escape by leaping from the
carriage. So perfect is the Austrian police
system that before O'Clock of the same day
the murderer had been arrested. BE made
no attempt to deny his crime. On the
contrary, with sort of stolid logged
ness, he volunteered full confession.
He was, he stated, poor and needy,
aud was resolved to have money at
any price. Lettering about he had seen
Mr.. Katscher show his purse at the station,
and had followed him into the carriage with
the deliberate intention Of numbering him;
Having effected his purpose, be had leapeo
from the train, and he had wandered about
until he was ultimately arrested by the po'
lice. Such crimes are impossible in Amerl'
can cars. The fate, however, of the Two
criminals who have committed these railway
murders in England and Austria is not en-
couraging.
