CHARGED WITH MURDER, NOW
New ark Police Think that Kohl
Killed Preinal,
II Is Alleged that He Confessed to
His Wife.
Especial 10 The Evening WORLDLY

NEWARK, NJ j., Aug. h-Capt
William =. DAILY. of the Third Precinct,
made charge of murder this morning
against Henry Kohl, accusing him OF
causing the death Of Joseph Preinal on
either the night Of June Is or the morn
ing OF June is. The police believe that
they have circumstantial evidence suf-
ficient to convince a jury of the al
legged guilt of Kohl. A commitment was
made out at once and Kohl, who is now
a prisoner in the County Jail, charged
with an strocious assault on his wife,
will be held to answer to the more Sc
rious complaint.
Kohl and Preinal were cousins. both
being young men. Kohl was married
and lived with his wife at 279 sixteenth
Avenue, while Preinai was a bachelor,
Eighteenth street. Of the two, the muir
dered man Is said to have been far more
sober ana Industrious tnan the other.
On the night of Friday, June 10. the
cousins left kohrs house together. and
on SATURDAY the body Of lreinal was
found by two boys in Shinder's Creek
on the meadows, and within a few Zee,
OF the tracks OF the Central Railroad
mans neck. and attached to it were
several heavy iron coupling pins. An IT.
regular-shaped stone, weighing seventy
pounds, rested on the mode of tn,
back ana held the body, face downward
! In the shallow water.
As soon as Capt. DAILY heard the stor!
OF the finding OF the corpse lie was pos
tive that there had been foul play, ant
he never credited the theory of suicide
water at that point was not deep enough
to cover a body. Besides, the face wa.
covered with dried blood and there wer'
quantities OF the same substance in thu
nose and ears. none of which condition!
would have been present IL drowning
had been the cause Of death.
Under the strap there were marks OIL
the throat that indicated strangulation
Bloodstains were afterwards found OF
the stone that Weighted the body. 1
was soon ascertained that Preinal
when he started out with Kohl on tn
night of June Is had $40 in one of tn
had also carried silver hunting cas-
watch. Both the money and the watcl
were gone.
Not long after this occurrence Koh
| was locked up at the Fourth Precino
station on the charge Of atrocious as
sault on his wife. He was held on thi
charge until the graver accusation o
to-day was preferred. 1t 10 alleged tina
his reason for beating Mrs. Kohl wa
something which. she said, was trou
bling her mind, and of which she mus
speak. Kohl's arrest 10 said TO hav
brought out the alleged fact that tn
burden on the woman's mind was a cor
fession Of murder, which she Is said I
have claimed that her husband ha
made to her.

Detectives OF the West One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth street police station
are securing the Thirtieth Precinct to-
day in search Of three men. who, early
Sunday morning, robbed Charles Beck
mann's hotel, at 25l Eighth avenue,
after having pounded the bartender into
unconsciousness.
The robbers are well known to the po-
lice and Mr.. Beckmann as well, but they
refuse to divulgc their names, because,
they say, 1t will interfere with the ends
Of justice.
Outside of police circles 1t Is believed
that the three robbers are hiding in Jer-
sey City, spending the few dollars they
managed to get away with.

the hotel and carried away between $40
and $3.50. Had there been 1000 In the

for the night: On getting inside they,

a pretext for what followed; They pre-,

them to get out.
When the bartenders back was turned
one of the men picked up an empty
beer glass which stood on the bar and
dealt the bartender a powerful blow on
the head, Telling him to the floor.
The other two jumped upon him and
kicked him until he became insensible:
The men then went behind the bar and
broke open two cash registers and rined
them OF their contents. Then they es-
capped TO the street by rear entrance.
The bartender was found an hour
later, still unconscious and bleeding
from a severe scalp wound.
