the Mystery.

Anschlag has confessed to the murder
Of julius Fuegh, at the German colony,
Car tadt, near Oroville, the body has
been found, and another mystery has been
solved. 1t will be remembered that at
the time of Anschlag's arrest for the
murder of Mr.. and Mrs. Hitchcock at
Garden Grove, in February last, it was
stated that his next door neighbor at the
German colony had mysteriously dis
appeared during the preceding fall, and
that the people there, learning of An.
chlag's crime here, had arrived at the
conclusion that he must know something
about Fuegh's disappearance. Fuegh
was bachelor about so years of age,
and lived alone in the house ON the land
monty supposed that as he was
rather miserly in his habits that he bad
considerable money in his house, and
his sudden disappearance caused con-
siderable comment, and suspicion fell on
George Stiger, who was the land agent of
the colony, but nothing ever transpired
which tended to confirm this suspicion.
After Anschlag's arrest at Garden Grove,
and the disappearance of Fuegh was
mentioned, Deputy Sheriff Russell, and
Detectives Harris and Metzler accused
Anschlag Of some knowledge of the mat
ter, but this Anschlag strenuously de-
MED, and from that time until after his
sentence had been pronounced on We'd
nesday of last week. His statement had
been to the effect that he last saw Fuegh
on September 1st, when Fuegh
came over to his house and
asked for some milk. After
the sentence Sheriff Rays and Detectives
Harris and Metzler visited Anschlag and
informed him that it would be better for
him, if he knew anything about the mat
ter, to tell it. They told him to cali for
paper at any time and write what he had
to say. On the Friday following,
Anschlag made his first confession of the
murder of Fuegh to Mr.. Gluck, who
has been acting as his spiritual adviser
and who has written full history of his
life. Mr.. Gluck informed Sheriff Kays
OF the confession, which was made after
he received the letter published hereto
fore in the HERALD. On Saturday morn
ing Deputy Sheriff Russell and Detective
Harris, after conferring with Mr.. Gluck,
visited Anschlag, who made verbal
confession 10 them, and drew diagram
of the country where Fuegh had been
killed and buried. The first diagram he
drew was in leadpencil, but he after
drew one on larger scale in ink.
HOW He KILLED FUEGH.
Anschlag told how he killed Fuegh in a
graphic manner, pointing out on the dia-
gram the place where he fell and where
the body was buried. In telling of the
circumstances Anschlag said, that in
September 1st, he had been out hunting
for rabbits and on returning home had
left his gun standing against the fence
near the back gate. Shortly afterward,
Fuegh cane over and asked if he could
get some milk. Anschlag said he would
give him some and Fuegh said he
would call for it when he came
back from the post office. He
asked permission to cross Anschlag's
land to the Bangor road, which would
make shorter cut for him. Anschlag
gave him permission, and said he thought
he would go along, and as he passed out
the back gate he took his gun, saying
that it might be handy for hare. Fuegh
led the way across the field, Anschlag
few steps in the rear. When they
reached a point about one hundred
steps from the Bangor road
Anschlag cried, "There's a rabbit"
raised his gun and shot Fuegh in the
back of the neck. Fuegh fell dead and
Anschlag taking careful survey of the
country about from the top of a ridge a
few feet further on, and seeing no one,
ran back to his house and obtained a
spade. On reaching the corpse he
dragged it about twenty feet to the
top of the ridge where he could
keep the road in view and
digging a hole, buried the body with it's
clothes on. When asked why he mur-
dered Fuegh he first said it was acciden.
tai and afterwards said that it was not,
but that he gained nothing by it. He
then went home and afterwards came to
Los Angeles county. His parting words
to the detectives when they left were
"Dig deep. Do not be discouraged if
you Go not find the body at first, but dig
deep and you will find it sure"
