KRAUSE is HELD FOR MURDER
,>CoMMUNICADO SYSTEM APPLIED
TO CITIZEN OF TAMPA.

He - Charged with killing a NOtO-
riouS Woman Named Minnie Ross.
Inform Worn by Him Was Found
I'm Her HOuse-He Was a Lieuten-
out of Florida VoIunteers--An-
other Theory Is the Murder Was
committed by a BIneIxmaiIer.
havana. June 1S.-The local papers to-
sav devote considerable space to the MUIR
dsr o.. the notorious Minnie Ross, who
was killed with the blunt end of a hatchet
after being choked, and was found dead
early yesterday morning.
II was first reported that a well-known
army officer was involved, but the uni
form found in the room of Fred Krause,
now ia custody on the charge of being the
murderer. is undoubtedly one formerly
worn by him.
Krause was at one time a lieutenant OF
the Florida volunteers. He is said to be
= member of wealthy Tampa family
Thus far there is but little evidence
against him Many believe, from the ma
ture Of the crime, that it was committed
BY a woman. One theory is that the blow
wiki the hatchet was not Immediately
fatal aud that the victim was then checked
Wdeath.
Robbery could scarcely have been the
motive. for the police found 81 $500 in the
murdered womans room, and a quantity
Of valuable jewelry on her dressing table
Another theory is that the authorities,
having received definite information that
the woman had been paying money to
someone connected with the police de
partmeut for the privilege of conducting
her house. which was one of bad repute,
bad sent an agent 10 ascertain the name
Of he guilty. official This agent, it is
thought had threatened her that unless
she disclosed the mans name her house
would be closed. She, as this theory goes,
refused TO give IT, despite the protection
Of the blackmailer. The government
agent left the house after midnight, ac-
c0rling TO this explanation of the crime,
and Il is supposed that she afterward had
an interview with the blackmailer, with
The result that he killed her
The friends of Krause bitterly complain
Of the incommunieado system, which is
rg0rousy enforced IN his case. Thus far
neither his friends nor legal counsel have
been allowed to see him.
