DID TOM BECHTEL
KILL HIS SISTER?
Corr0borated Evidence Given Show.
ing Motive For the Crime.
CAUSE SISTERS ESCAPADES
Public Prosecutor Will Ask the
Jury to Consider Whether HE'LL
EiOus EcrvOr Prompted
the Deed.

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 1S.-Thirty.
-four witnesses have thus far been
called in the Bcchtel murder case and
the prosecution has not yet closed Its
case. Motive for the murder OF Ma.
bel Bechtel by her brother Tom who,
later committed suicide in Jail, was
proved still further Saturday by the
commonwealth.
Brothers Motive For killing sister.
Miss Jennie Conrad testified that
Mabel Bechtel told her Tom hadn't
spoken to her for Il long time: that he
was going to be confirmed In the
church.
Tom was always of a taciturn dispo
sition. He seldom spoke unless he
was spoken to, and was much given
to brooding. He had known for q
long time of the life his sister was
leading. He worried over 1t. He
could not talk to her at all. Now he
was about to join the church by right
of confirmation.

The public prosecutor will ask the

determine whether, under the excess
of religious fcrvor, it Is likely this
gloomy brother was in such a frame
of mind that Mabel's latest %escapade
with Weiscnberger should drive him
to fury.
Alois Eckstein, the curious, stOlid
little fellow who was to have mar.
ried Mabel Bechtel in spite of her o
sorting with David Weisenberger. told
on the witness stand the story Of
Mabel Bcchtel's last days on earth
INT Of poor Tom Bechtel's last dying
confession.
The story cOrroborated much that
has already been indicated by circum.
stantial evidence-that Mabel was
probably killed ut home by her brother
Tom.
II Tom were alive and on trial in
this court for the murder of his Sis
ter, there seems little doubt tina the
story of Eckstein would go far toward
cOnviCting him. But Tom has gono
to his account, hurried out of this
world by his own hand, and the de-
PENDANT at the bar Is his old mother.
This most interesting psychological
problem, therefore, Is presented by
the case as It stands:

Thaekeray at Oxford.

In his posthumous book, recently
published, on English Literature and
Society in the Eighteenth Century,"
the late Sir Leslie Stephen remarks
with great truth that poets and novel
lists might sometimes be surprised II
they could realize the small impress
sion they make upon the mass Of the
population, and he Instances the case
OF Thackeray, who. when at the height
OF his reputation he stood for Oxford,
found that his name was unknown
even to highly respectable constitu-
ents. The author Of Vanity Fair"
they observed. was named John Bum
yam. According to contemporary &C
counts, to which probably some artis-
tic completeness was given, the novel
lists experience at Oxford-which is
said to have occurred, not when he
was wooing the constituency, but
when he gave his lectures on THE
English Humorists"-was much more
piquant On being asked by the uni
versity functionary. IL he had written
anything, he replied that be was the
author Of Vanity Fair" whereupon
this curious dialogue ensued: IL pre-
sumo Dissenter-has that anything
to DO with John Bunyan's book, Not
exactly; ] have also written 'Penden-
MIS-" Never heard Of those works;
but no doubt they are proper books"
Il have also contributed to Punch"
