NEW YORK, Oct. l. - Herman Paul
Schultz, who is held in prison hero charged
with arson on the evidence of his own
sons, Is also charged by Charles Edmund
Schultz, the older son, with numbering
his wife, the young mans mother.
The murder of Mrs. Lizzie Schultz oc-
Cured on Tuesday of last week. at tho
High Point House, owned by John Wohl-
fardt, three miles from ShohOla, in the
widest part of Pike county, Pa. Ac-
cording to the story AS told by young
Schultz n stranger went to the High Point
House on Monday of last week and called
for Mrs. Smith" who was in reality Mrs.
Schultz. When she responded they spoke
q fey hard words but everything ap-

the two went to the woman's apartment.
The man remained there that night. The
next morning, while he was dressing, the
proprietors wife went to the room and
found MRS. Smith" dead. The stranger
was Schultz, who was arrested and released
that the woman died at the hands of some
person unknown. Schultz claimed so it
is said that he sat up talking with his
wife and a son until 4 "a. IN. and then fell
asleep. He said he did not hear shot. He
came to this city when released.

her. He then gave tho address. The
young man tells long story Of family

time he explained that his mother and
children were known us Smith in order to
protect the father, who assumed that
