CRIME OF HAU.
Insane Greed of Gserman-American
 Prompted Murder.


 Insane Greed of German-AmerIcan
 Prompted Murder. Baden-Baden, Gerwany, Nov. B. Karl Hau, alias Stau, the lawyer of Washing gton, D. C., who was arrested in London yesterday ana held for ex- tradition. is wanted by the local police on the charge of murdering his wife's mother, Frau Molitor.
 The motive of the alleged crime ape pears to have been Insane greed of money. Frau Molitor, who was wealthy, refused many times to comply with Hau's requests for money, having given her daughter a considerable kdowry and arranged that she should inherit part of her fortune. When Hau marrled Lena Molitor six years ago she was 2s years Of age. and Hau, a student, was 19. Their en- gagement seemingly was against Frau MoIftors wish Immediately after their marriage the couple went to America and Eau attained good po- sition in Washington as a lawyer.
 Hau. his wife and their daughter. three years old, came 70 Germany last summer to visit Frhu Mo1itor. Mrs. Hau and the child stayed several months at the Villa A4oiitor. Hau ar- rived there later via Constantinople.
 Visitors to the vilRa observed that the best relationship existed between the Haus and Frau Molitor. A fort night ago Hau left Baden Baden to re- turn to America and his relatives thought he was either on board ship or had already arrived in the United States.
 During the evening of November 6 Frau Molitor received a telephone mes- sage at her home in Baden Baden ask ing her to so to the Dostonice and get a parcel which had reached there for her. Frau Molitor, accompanied by her young daughter, stayed at once for the postofiiee. and while passing through q quiet street she was shot from behind and fell dead with a bull let through her heart.
 The man who commtgred the murder was described as beIng of medium height and seemingly under 20 years old. He wore q beard, put 1t is stated that it was a false one.
 The police believe the murderer was the man who called up Frau Molitor on the telephone. The veiephonic mes sage which induced Frau Molitor to go to her death was received by a servant of the household. who says she thought she recognized Hau's voice and so iu- formed her mistress, put the latter fr- sisted on going to the postoffice
 The day of the murder, Hau left FrankforC at il o'clock in the morn ing on the Baden train and returned to Frankfort at 10 o'clock on the same evening. After his arrival there he sent the following telegram to his wife at the hotel:
 Arrive tomorrow night. Don't be- tray address,"
 This telegram gave the police clue to the identity of the murderer and they promptly notffed the London police. Hau's arrest followed.

 The deliverer said no more to her. In- stead there was lively buzzing of
 sonones and some guarded talk over wires. As . result of lt. Peggy was sent in charge or the once boy up to her Uncle Johp's house. She stayed there a week, and went home with all the money she would take--a deal more than she had thought of asking for.
 . Even that was not all. She knew the fairy prince was coming to see her in her own rural surroundings before very long. She knew further that he was modest and clean minded. the sort of real fairy prince that every girl longs for. Of course he came, and equally of course, next year they were married. Johnny Magee was nightly upset that all things turned out SO well. until he married the faithful Sal- ly Job--then he thought of his escape from Peggy as merciful deliverance.
