ment Of her and he fed, coming to this
country. ThisS he said, was twelve years
ago, and recently tth matter preyed upon
his mind SO much that he concluded to
surrender andFgo back to his native coun-
try to receive his punishment.
The stranger told: Of his alleged crime
IN such manper that his story
seemed to be true. for he did not fail to tell
of the ntnutess details If a most horrible
affair at
Inspector Mattingly took charge of the
prisoner, and after closely questioning
him came to the conclusion that The mans
mind was unbalanced. His story was that
when he reached this country he went to
Connecticut, and later he moved to New
York
Thinking the man had probably escaped
from an insane asylum he was asked IL
he had ever been locked up or Il he had
ever been in a hospital.
He denied that he had ever been in a
place of either kind. but when questioned
more closely he said he had been arrested
IN connecticut because SOMEBODY mad
chloroformed him on the public streets.
For this ne was locked no and lined $15.
Leaving Connecticut he went to New York
and there he said he thought over his crime
until he concluded to give himself up.
Then he came here because he knew he
would not be known.
An attache of the German embassy was
sent for and he concluded that the man
had lost his mind. and that his story of
the revolving crime was wholly imaginary.
He learned that the mans parents are
still living in Germany, and they will be
communicated with by the representative
OF that country. Johann was placed in
a cell at the second police station and
the police surgeons will pass upon his men
