NINA MuLLER's MURDER.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The Herald publishes
the following story Sunday: The general
belief was when Martin Kroomkowski, alias
Kittler, was captured Thursday last that the
sole and only person who had participated in the
cruel and bloody murder Of Nina Muller was
in custody. The prisoner, when spoken to by
a reporter Immediately after his arrest, hinted
at the fact that, although he had accompanied
his new wife to the woods, he was not
guilty of the crime charged against him.
His statement was not believed as true, but
recent developments tend to support his story.
After the prisoner was securely lodged in the
Hudson county jail, New Jersey authorities be-
lieved the case had been worked down. In
spector Byrne thought different, however, and
on information which he obtained from
friends of the prisoner, he detailed detectives
Herdenbery and Dolan to follow new clews.
AS result of their labors at this morning,
they brought to police quarters man
to SAG have bee been Kaoomkowski's cppnp' accom-,
plice. The prisoner gave his name as
Phillip Emden, ,and when questioned as to where
he was at the beginning of the month, he
was unable to give decided answer. Emden
was arrested after a long race, as he was about
to enter his apartments in the rear of house
No. Ala West Thirty-ninth street. In answer
to the inquiry made by Detective Nolan few
minutes before he was taken into custody,
Emden said he had been working up evidence
against his friend, the Gutenberg
murderer. In their search the officers learned
that on the day Nina Muller is supposed to
have been killed the prisoner informed sa
loon keeper that he was going over to Hobo
ken to visit friends. Emden is AZ years old,
native of Hanover, Germany, and from all re-
ports Kroomkowski's bosom friend. The po
lice openly assert they believe he was par
ticipant in the horrible crime, and it is alleged
he was seen in Kroomkowski's company near
Opdyke's woods on the Sd inst. Most
important testimony it Is claimed was fur
nished against the prisoner by Mrs. Kroom-
kowski, O person who 1t Is said overheard
a conversation between the men before they
were suspected. Emden says he was not
guilty, but declines to say where he was on
the day the murder is supposed to have taken
place He is O married man, but his wife, 1t
it is said by the authorities. deserted him
few weeks after the marriage. The New Jer
sey authorities were informed by telegraph of
the capture of Emden.
Kroomkowski spent most of the time yesrer-
day in his cell. He partook heartily Of the
food offered him and conversed cheerfully with
fellow prisoner named Hines in German.
When visitors entered the corridor of the Jail,
Kroomkowski covered his face with news
paper. Hines informed Kroomkowski
Of the arrest of Phillip Emden
in this city upon suspicion of having helped
Kroomkowski kill the woman. The prisoner
"He is as innocent of the crime as am.''
Last Thursday morning, it seems, Emden
went to liquor store kept by Henry Lahr,
and, speaking of the Hoboken murder, of
which all the papers were FULL said Kroom-
kowski had once spoken of Miss Muller.
Lahr thereupon remarked the description CIV
en- of Louis Kittler tailed in measure with
that of Kroomkowski Emden then betook
himself to his former friends, dwelling at $40
West Thirty-sixth street, and inquired of Mrs.
Kroomkowski whether her husband had left
the city for France She answered in the neg
ative, and asked If he had obtained employment
as cook on Fifth avenue. Emden then went to
the Twentieth street precinct and there
submitted the facts to Capt. Washburn, who
sent two detectives to the suspected ward
house Emden had denounced Kromkow-
ski on condition his name should not be used
as witness at the trial. All this Capt.
Washburn promised, and yesterday at the
Intervention Capt. Washburn Emden
was released.
Mrs. Kroomkowski and two children visited
the Jail AMI were allowed to converse with the
prisoner. Kroomkowski and wife wers COM
posed. Just before leaving the Jail Mrs.
Kroomkowski charged him with having sto-
len from her May Sd, the day of the murder, a
piece OF money. She had dollar gold coin.
1.-THE city missionary held a short service in
the corridor of the Jail in the afternoon.
Kroomkowski sat on the front bench. The
only word he understood was Jesus. When
this was uttered Kroomkowski clasped his
hands over his breast and lifted his voice in
devout manner.
SUICIDE OF LUNATIcs.
COLUMBUS, O., May 02.--It was discovered
to-day that Lottie A. Poland, Of Newcomers
town, and Mrs. Emma Scanlan, of Cedar Hill,
Fairfield county, two patients at the Central
lunatic asylum, had committed suicide by
drowning in a lake upon the asylum grounds
Both patients were considered harmless and
were at times allowed to walk about the asy-
lum grounds for exercise. On Thursday
evening they were allowed to take their usual
walk, but when locking up time came neither
could be found. A dilligent search
was at once instituted, without result, and
as a last resort the large lake on
the grounds was drained, and the dead bodies
of both victims found at the bottom. 1t is
supposed that while walking neas the lake
shore the women were seized with a suicidal
mania and deliberately committed suicide.
Since the bodies were discovered letter has
been found which was written by the women,
in which they declare their weariness of life
and intention of putting an end to themselves.
