District Attorney Lichtenwalncr, OF
Allentown, SAYS that information for
the arrest of David Weisenberg, on
charges OF being accessory to the muir
der OF Mabel Bechtel, before and after
the fact was made by Constable John
Shrunk. There will probably be no
hearing and the case will go to the
Grand Jury. Weisenberg, it is believ-
ed, was the last person outside Of the
Bechtel family who saw the girl alive.
He accompanied her home on the Sun
day night when it is supposed she was
murdered, but he did not enter the
house. After the alleged finding OF the
body in the areaway OF the Bechtel
home on the Tuesday morning follow
ing by Mrs Bechtel, the mother, the
latter told her story to the police that
Mabel had been out driving with
Weiscnberg on Monday and that dur
ing the night she was awakened by the
barking OF dogs and saw two men ear
rying what she thought was a bag oi
potatoes or apples into a neighbor's
yard. Weisenberg having lett town. he
was the first one for whom the police
looked and he surrendered himself TO
the New York police. lie voluntarily
returned to Allentown and proved an
alibi. District Attorney Lichtenwalnef
will also accuse Weisenberg OF mis-.
demeanor. he having admitted that he
and the girl visited hotel on the Sun
day night in question. 1t is said that
the prosecutions plan will be to have
Weisenberg acquitted OF the more seri.
GUS charges and thus make him a com.
petent witness against the Bechtels.
