Court Of Oyer and Terminer.
1t is a story, not simply of murder, but
Of a dozen deliberately planned and dia-
bolically achieved murders by the slow

soning. The witnesses upon whom Mr..
Mcintyre depends for this story are the
confessed accomplices of the arch-mur-

Muller, and his pretty wife, Mary Neiss,
who was saved from death by poisoning
at the hands Of the bloodless Meyer only
through the accident of having excited
the love passion in one Of her intended
murderers. now her husband.

Mr.. Mcintyre this morning called Carl
