Have Been Former

Hau, the former professor of Roman
law at George Washington university,
Washington, DC, who was found gull
ty of the murder of his mother-in-law,
Frau Mollitor, at Karlsruhe, July q,
and condemned ITO death, is in reality
innocent of this crime. The name Of
this new witness is Karl Ldndenau, and
his statement has created more or
less Of a sensation. He afflrms that at
the time of the murder last November
he was walking behind Frau Mollitor,
and her daughter. He saw the flash of
a pistol and one of the women fell. He
did not see the murderer, but says he
could not possibly have been Hau.
During the trial Lindenau forwarded
anonymously a. statement containing
these assertions to Hau's attorney. He
did not appear at the trial because of
his desire to conceal, for private rea-
sons, his presence in Karlsruhe.

MOST HATED LANDLORD
CIanricarde Speaks Before Lords on
Eviction Bill.

London, Aug. 6-After long and un-
interesting debate, in which the leaders
of the opposition indicated their inten-
tion of amending the measure in com
mittee, the Evicted Irish tenants bill
passed its second reading in the house
of lords to-day
A dramatic incident of the debate
was the appearance of Lord Clanri-
carde, the most hated landlord in Ire
land, who, with bent and shrunken
frame, outstretched shrivelled finger
and in a voice now shrilI, now husky
with passion, denounced the bill in un-
measured terms as the "apotheosis Of
robbery" In the midst Of his diatribe,
the aged earl took a phial from his
pocket and would sip the contents. Ev-
cry member of the house turned to
watch the speaker but his speech was
received in chilly silence.
