INSURANCE MURDER.
THE POLICE THINK
Joseph Biaise Believed to Have
Been Lured From Germany
by Swindlers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 23.-Start-
ling developments have come to light in
the investigation of the murder of Joseph
Blaise on the night of Jan. 10. Blaise's
body. with the throat cut was found
at the foot of Russian hill the follow
ing morning, having been hurled from
the cliff.
Leon Soeder, Blaise's brother-in-law.
was arrested on suspicion. After the
arrest it was found that Soeder was
en- eX-convict, that his second wife had
died suddenly, supposedly of ptomaine
poisoning, soon after he had insured her
life; that his first wife, from whom he
had never been divorced, had disappeared
mysteriously, and that after his residence
and restaurant in Petaluma, Cal, had
been destroyed by fire, the insurance COM
panies refused to pay the policy on the
ground that theN fires We're incendiary.
t1ves have found evidence which leads to
the belief that Soeder was one of gang
organized to defraud insurance companies
Soeder, according to the detectives. was
sent by the gang to Germany to lure his
brother-in-law to America, which he did.
one OF the conspira is supposed tn
be saloonkeeper in this city who has
made fortune in the lowest walks of
life; another is supposed to have left
the city in the last few days. Still an
other is known to be a certain wealthy,
but utterly uDscrupulous man.
Soeder was in the habit of boasting of
his connection with rich families in Ger
many. and the police theory is that the
conSpirators hoped when he Joined them
that he would be able to get a victim
whose standing would secure a very large
insurance.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-01-24
Insurance Companies Suspect.

The police have been tracing money re-
mittances sent from this city to Soeder
in New York and in Europe. Before Soc
der and Blaise sailed from Europe an
application was made to a life Insurance.
company in Bremen for large policy on
Blaise, but it was refused by the company
when it was learned that Blaise was ONLY
humble hotel keeper in a little village.
The detectives have learned that pre-
vious to Soeder's leaving for GERMANY
he was almost penniless, and that sudden
ly he announced his intention to take a
trip abroad, paid his debts and departed
in good style. On arriving in New York
on his return with Blaise Soeder applied
for policy of $4,000 on Blaise's Life. In
San Francisco he applied for another pol
icy of the same amount. He then secured
two policies for $4,000 each, the $40 600
being denied by the insurance companies.
The policy theory is that Soeder's fell
low conspirators demanded that he kill
Blaise in order to reimburse them for the
money advanced to Soeder to gdNto Ger
many.
Soeder's statement that Blaise had
money In his possession and that he was
murdered by robber has been proved to
be false. The police believe that II was
the intention of the conspirators that Soc
der should kill Blaise in New York city or
on the overland train provided Blaise's
life could be heavily insured in the me-
