LINTNER AND HIS MONEY.
Lintner was again questioned as to how he
came in possession of the money. At first he
said that 1t was his mothers, but afterward
said that part Of 1t was his, and that he had
made it by working in the South. He posi-
lively refused to give an intimation as to
where he had passed the time on the night
of the murder.
Meantime, the superintendent sent word,
asking Mrs. Hirth to come to the station
house. 1t was nearly 3 o'clock before she
and her brother, Pat Reidy, arrived. She
then related in detail the incidents of her
husoands death, and ave a minute descrip-
uon or the man who did the shooting. After

murder, he was released on a bond of $3.50,

and the detectives say that he was not sur
prised when he learned that Albert had been
charged with murder. He is not a bit too
good to do such a thing" Griswold is cred
tied with having said.
A Journal reporter interviewed Albert
LAntner a few moments after Mrs. Hirth
had identified him and had left the station
house. Lintner is over six feet tall, Is slender
Of build and slightly stopped in the shoulders.
His complexion Is very sallow-almost as
yellow as that of a mulatto, but there is moth
ing sinister in his countenance, and he seems
frank enough, although at times there is a
furtive glance in his eye. He realized per-
fectly, that he was in deep trouble. With
considerable braggadocio he affected to re-
gard the matter lightly. THE police" said

They had to arrest somebody, and that's the

Lintner refused to talk on that question
further. The money the officers found be-
cause he did not know with what he was
charged that he demanded to be shown q
warrant for his arrest. ITS natural for a
man TO want to know the charge against
him, amt it?' he asked.

never been in his saloon. He said that he
had never been in trouble before. For the

| MRS. HIRTH'S CRITICAL CONDITION.
An effort was made to see Mrs. Hirth,
but her brother, Pat Reidy, said that her
| physician issued strict orders forbidding her
TO talk with any one. Mrs. Hirth is believed
by her friends to be in a very critical con-
/ dition. She was in such a condition at the
time Of her husbands murder that any
! shock would have proven most injurious.
The week which has just ended has been
most trying to her. First was the funeral,
and later constant visits from detectives and
police officers. 1t was with great difficulty
that she could get down town yesterday
afternoon, and, following up the trying
| scenes at the station house, she suffered a
| complete collapse. The police department Is
very solicitious for her recovery, as upon her
