II
ooods That Feihl Stole D1scOv.
ereh which Indica tes That he
has Committed Murder. Many
sensational Statements.
The Vineland Jonrnal Wednesday af-
.orneon published long article which
do.lared that Louis Feihl, the suspect
murderer, now in jail, had confessed
II. crime. The story was sensational,
and this morning again appeared In
,he Philadelphia papers. 1t was also
alleged In this sensational article that
= detectiye had been incarcerated In
i,u with Feihl, and that to him the
snsnect had made confession. The
orticle sets forth, that the detective
was none other than the person who
WAS arrested, charged with robbing
sheldon's jswelry store.
A PIONEER reporter last Thursday
showed Prosecutor Logue the sensa-
tional articles as printed, and asked
him concerning the truth of them. The
Prosecutor very courteously explained
that there were some points that had
developed into the case, indicating
Feihl was bad man.
After Feihl had been locked up by
himself about three months with but
little opportunity to talk to anybody,
he began to open his mouth, and d.
vulsed some matters In connection
with the case which led the Prosecutor
to suspect that he was guilty of several
burglaries that had been committed
in the neighborhood of South Vine
land and elsewhere, since he had been
living there, and it was also learned
that he had rented vacant house and
piece of ground In the neighborhood
Of his brothers property.
After consultation with the Sheriff
It was decided that the Sheriff and his
deputy should make a search of this
vacant house, which they did, going
over there at night time. They found
no plunder, but were satisfied from
what they saw that there had been a
considerable quantity concealed in the
house quite recently.
1t was thereupon decided the goods
must be somewhere about the prem
ises occupied by Feihrs brother, and
thereupon the Prosecutor took the
Mayor of Millville into his confidence,
and had warrants issued for Feihl's
brother and his wife, charging them
with being accessories after the fact to
the burglary, committed at Yerkes'
bakery, and they were arrested at
night and brought down to the Mayors
office at Millville. and given thorough
and searching examination by the
Prosecutor. Mrs. Feihl finally admit
ted that she had found q small silver
watch after Louis had been arrested,
but did not know to whom 1t belonged,
nor where 1t came from; and that they
also had found concealed in the vacant
house good many household goods,
and as the owner of the property, at
ter Louis arrest, had advertised it for
rent or for sale, they removed the
goods and concealed them on their
own premises until they could ascer.
tain to whom they belonged. Upon
the Prosecutors plan they agreed, and
the whole party went up to their house
at South Vineland, where the watch
was delivered to the Prosecutor by
Mrs. Feihl; and there was also taken
rom Its place of concealment and de-
ivered to the officers, nearly a wagon
load Of plunder which Louis had taken
from various places in the neighbor-
nooo' showing that In addition to the
onarge for breaking and entering the
aefkes' bakery and killing OF Chris
'ian zalss he has been guilty of several
other burglaries.
as to the detective story the Prose-
caeor emphatically denies to say any
thing.
