A VERY MYSTERIOUS CASE,
The Suicide of the Unknown
German Investigated.
He Left a Note Signed Frhr.
Waldo.
A Question as to the Identity of tn,
Deceased-An Interment Very
Quickly After the
Inquest.

Coroner Gates held an inquest yester-
day upon the body of the unknown
German who committed suicide by TAX
ing poison in the lodging house at 125
South Los Angeles street.
The only thing brought out at the
inquest that may lead to his identified.
ton was a note written in broken Ger
man and English, which he left on a
table before taking the deadly NOR
phine. The note was signed Frhr.
v. Waldo, which is evidently his true
name. However, there is some dis
pute. some claiming that the dead man
is Chas. Msurer, the young German who
created disturbance in the cathedral a
year or two ago. He was arrested soon
atterward and sent to the Stockton in
sane asylum, but returned here several
months ago.
Maurei cannot be found, and the
body was inferred too quickly to give
anyone an opportunity to identity; it
may be possible that he is the deceased.
Maurer left bis lodging house, at 100
Wilmington street last Saturday. He
went to lodging house on Third street,
between Main and Los Angeles, and
looked at a room, saying he would re-
turn in an hour.
He never returned.
He removed large trunk, valise and
other things from his Wilmington street
lodgings.
AS soon as the proprietor of the lodg-
ing house heard of the unknown mans
death yesterday, and saw it stated that
it was supposed to be Maurer, he i'm
mediately went to the undertaking par
lors OF Orr & Bird to see II he could
identify the man. He found that the
body had been inferred an hour before,
only two or three hours after the in
quest was held.
AS nothing was developed at the in
quest to show who the man was, it
looks reasonable to suppose that the
body would have been preserved at
least few hours so that Identification
might have been established. By whose
authority the body was so hurriedly dis
posed of is not known. Coroner Oates
certainly did his duty.
The signature left by the deceased is
as follows: "Frhr v. Waldo, ritter des
eifernen kruezes," the title meaning,
"knight OF the iron coat" title Of
honor among the Germans. He was
evidently a noble.

reliance upon the story which he will tell,
and from their sanguine state of mind
to-day it seems probable that they must
have in reserve resources which have not
yet been known. That Colonel Breckin-
ridges recital will be long one was fore
told by one of his attorneys to-day, when
he said the defendant would doubtless be
on the witness-stand three days. The at
torney prophesied that the trial will last
for two weeks. or may be longer. he
said that the cross-eXamination OF Miss
Pollard would consume two days more:
that BreGk inr:dge would be on the stand
three days; that two days would be occu-
pied in reading depositions, and three
days in closing oratory for the defense.
From this statement it appears the de-
tense expects to probe into the circum-
stances surrounding Miss sPollard's life
in much greater detail than was indicated
by the cross-examination of Mr.. Butter
worth.

Curiosity Rampant Among Lawyers as

WASHINGTON. March 1s.-The legal
complications and side issues of the
Pollard Breckenridge case, which are
gradually coming to light as the trial pro-
ceeds, increase the public interest here in
Washington, where the Kentucky orator
is best known, and make it the most
sensational case ever reviewed in the
criminal courts here. Curiosity is ram
pant among the lawyers as to the line of
defense which the array of five will have
made out for him. For time after
Colonel Breckenridge to Mrs. Wing in
New York, on April 18th, was made pub
lie. it was the general opinion that this
circumstance would form the basis for the
defense. but to-day the attorneys for Mr..
Breckinridge intimated 10 the contrary
Even had they not said so it is q fact that
the promises of marriage alleged by Miss
Pollard to have been made to her, except
the statements in the presence of Major

destine marriage. Moreover, 1t seems to
be established by preponderance of the
authorities that the promise to marry
Madeline Pollard made by married man
furnishes ground for breach OF promise

by the other party, who is ignorant of his

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Important Cases Which VIII Soon
Come for Hearing.


WASHINGTON. March 1S.-By the ap-

Court of the United States the South has
more than its quota of Justices, and the
court will soon take up and hear argu-
nents in those cases which it has been de-
sired shall be heard by a full bench.
There are enough of these cases TO occupy
the attention of the court for more than a
month, and the present expectation is
that point will be consumed in that
way.
The court has set the Indiana tax cases
for hearing before full bench on the
10Th of March, though it is said to be
probable that the arguments in the cases
will be heard whether Justice Jackson is
here or not, 1t being the desire OF those
interested to have the cases disposed Of.
Among the cases assigned by the court
for a hearing before a full bench on the
I'd of April are the following: Involving
the constitutionality of the / exas railroad
laws; olemargarine cases from Massachu-
sets; a reargument of the cases of Con-
stable ct al. VS.. the National Steamship
Company Qimited), which has been
pending for long time; reargument of
the case OF Hilton VS.. Quot, involving the
question of foreign judgments; Barden
VS.. the Northern Pacific Railroad; the
railroad cases from Montana.
The cases assigned for hearing April
9th include the following: The Interstate
Commerce Commission against Brimson,
from the Northern District of Illinois
ex-senator Edmunds appears in this
case as special counsel for the commits
sionl; the United States VS.. the Trans
missouri Freight Association, from the
Circuit Court Of Appeals of the North
District. and the United States, appellant,
VS.. the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. There are upwards of twenty
more eases awaiting argument before a
