KARL HAU ON TRIAL.
For Murder Of His MOther-in.
Law in Baden Baden.
Selection of a Jury Occupied
But 10 Minutes.

karlsruhe, Germany, July 1.-THE
trial of Karl Hau, charged with the
murder of his mother-in-law, Frau
Moliter. in Baden Baden, on the even
ing of November 6. 1906, began in this
city today. Hau was at one time pro-
fessor of Roman law in George Wash
ington university, Washington. D. C..
He practiced law in Washington up to
the time of his going abroad with his
family about a year ago. After the
alleged murder he fed to London
where he was taken into custody.
Later he was returned to Germany and
as many people claimed he was in
sane, the question of his mental condi-
ton was thoroughly investigated, with
the result that he was formally. de-
clared to be in his right mind
Mrs. Hau committed suicide by
drowning in June of this year, leaving
farewell letter in which she said she
could no longer bear the sorrow of
living apart from her, husband.
1t was once reported that Hau had
confessed to the murder of Frau Mo-
liter, but this was later denied.
Hau entered the court room today
three minutes before the session open
ed. He was accompanied by his coun-
sci, DR.. Dietz. and two gendarmes.
One of these officers sat Immediately
behind the prisoner during the entire
session, the muzzle of his rifle showing
dDONc the DdCh OIL the seat occupied by
the prisoner.
Hau made progressing appearance
He was dressed in we'll fitting Prince
Albert coat and light trousers. His hair
was neatly trimmed. His beardless face
is broad, he has a massive brow and his
eyebrows are strongly arched. Today
his lips were often tightly compressed
but it could be seen that his mouth is
very mobile. His eyes are lustrous and
large. His general appearance was that
of a young clergyman of unusual ability
and force for his &c years.
While Hau chatted cheerfully with his
counsel the newspaper men present
crowded around the green table 'front.'

center.
The selection of jury from a venire
of % men of which each side could re-
ject seven, occupied only 10 minutes. At
forwards a list of more than seventy
witnesses and ten experts to be called
was read.
The presiding judge examined Hau
for three hours. Hau pleaded not gull
ty to the charge against him, but he
admitted having been in Baden-Baden
the night the tragedy occurred.
The examination took a wide range.

RIVER IS RISING.
But 1t Won't Reach Danger Point in
Topeka.

Reports received by the weather bu-
reau in this city this morning from
Manhattan and Blue Rapids indicate a
decided rise in the Blue river at those
points and a rise in the Kaw at this
point is expected to follow in the
course of the next "a hours. At Man
haitian the Blue river has attained a
depth of a little more than ten feet,
or a rise of four and one-half feet
during the past "a hours. At Blue
Rapids the measurements indicate a
depth of five feet which is near the
danger point at this place.
The rise in the Blue at these points
is the result of the heavy rains of Sun
day night and early morning which
in that locality and above amounted to
almost a cloudburst. as between six
and seven inches of precipitation were
recorded.
No fear need be anticipated at this
point as the rises at the points men,
toned will but slightly affect the Kaw
at Topeka and the government office
in this city figures that, the rise Will
amount to less than two feet. The
Kaw has been steadily falling since
Yesterday noon and the rise which is
reported will not bring the water up
to the point reached yesterday noon
Sand bars are visible at many points at
this time and the feeling of unrest
which has existed in North Topeka is
not warranted by the reports which
have been received from points up the

"COL." BOYD IS RELIEVED
Old Rock Pile Guard Too Infirm for
Added Duties.

Colonel Richard Boyd, the ante
bellum negro who has been in charge of
the rock pile at the city jail for the
past p years was relieved this morning
by Mayor William Green to make room
for a younger and more active man.
and G. W. Cannon was appointed to
succeed him. 1t has been more than a
quarter of a century since Colonel Boyd
began to work for the city and he has
been on the payroll almost constantly
since.
He is now we'll past the three score
and ten mark and has outlived his use
fulness and the change has been con-
templated under every administration
for years. While at work for the city
in the street department he was buried
in an excavation for a sewer and was
so badly injured that he has been unfit
for active service since that time. The
position as guard of the rock pile was
given him and the understanding has
always been that the city would care
for him as it is responsible for his Grip
pied condition.
OF late years the prisoners on the rock
pile have had but little trouble in maxi
ing their escape when ever they chose.

THOMAS CLAIMS RIGHTS
Says He Was Not Fairly Treated In
Dcvlin Proceedings.

Claiming that c. A. LOOMS of the
| City National bank of Kansas City,
| Mo. holds in trust property worth
| $685. belonging to him, w. E.
| ness associate of C. J. Devlin confessed
Indebtedness to the extent of $3.50, 900.
| According to his own representations
| in hearing held today and participant
ed in by attorneys from Leavenworth,
Kansas City and Topeka before n. H.
Loomis, special referee, Thomas is not
a bankrupt.
A species of trusteeship was created
to hold this property for the benefit of
his family, declared Thomas in order
that it might not be taken to relieve
indebtedness which rightfully Devlin
should have met. The property is To-
Gated in Kansas City near to the site
of the proposed new union depot and
includes the Kansas City Coal and
Coke company's land and ownership
of which the Devlin trustees dispute
with Thomas.
In his efforts to secure this property
for his family Thomas claims that he
had agreed to purchase 96 shares of
the City National bank at the par
value of 500, that he was under a
though no written contract existed
and that being unable to purchase the
stock when the time came to pay in
the midst of the Devlin failure he sim
ply signed over the $3.50, 900 of prop
erty.
that Mrs. Devlin assigned to Thomas
$4,000 of life insurance held by Dew
lin which Thomas managed to secure
in order to protect himself if pos
sible This life insurance was later
secured by the City National. The
hearing has been in session for two
days and has not yet come to a con-
clusion.

JOINTIsT is SET FREE.
Frank Thomas Has Served 1875 Days in
Jnil.

The county commissioners released
Frank Thomas, a notorious negro
jointist, from the county Jail yesterday
without consulting either Sheriff
Wflkerson or County Attorney John
Schenck and these officials have
donned the war paint and left the
reserva ton. Thomas was arrested
several months ago charged with run

pleaded guilty to two counts and was
fined $500 and given sixty days in Jail.
So far he has served the 60 day
sentence and IS days on the fine and

PAID FOR DEPOSITORS.
Now John Breiienthal Claims He Was
BuncOed.

That the Banking Trust company OF
Kansas City, Kan, the general man
ager of which is John w. Breidenthal,
formerly state bank commissioner, paid
SO much per head for every new depos-
itor that it secured was revealed today
in a peculiar suit for damages brought
by the bank against the w. F. Burns
company of Chicago. Under the con-
tract the value of new depositor 10
the bank was seemingly worth $1.70 but
under normal conditions a new ac-
count, it is stated, in the amended Pc
tition, to be worth so cents. The Bank
ing Trust company is one of the COM
paratively new institutions of Kansas
City, Kan, and forms a species OF
clearing house for a number of other
banks within the state in which John
Breidenthal is interested. The presi-
dent is G. B. Hoffman, of Enterprise,
while Breidenthal is general manager.
1t is capitalized at 5000 900. The suit in
the first petitions asks for damages
the amended petition further damages
to the amount of $1,000 are asked.
The suit was removed from the court
of common pleas of Wyandotte county
to the United States circuit court. 1t
~as-fiFst filed May -but-the fling Ct
the suit has evidently been kept quiet.
The claim is made that the w. f.
Burns company of Chicago, c. w. Sill
yer acting as agent, were to bring in
5000, new customers to the bank. For
this and small pocket savings to the
number of 5000 the Chicago company
was to get $4,000.
In the first petition it is claimed that
the Burns company quit after bringing
in $500 depositors, of whom it is stated
only 400 really intended to maintain
accounts While the balance were simply
induced by the defendant to deposit %
cents in order that the defendant might
claim $1.70 for each person SO deposit
ing, the understanding being that %
cents should be the minimum opening.
In the amended petition it Is stated
that the number of new depositors by
the campaign method was 1881, while
of this number. it is stated, 1891 only
deposited % cents, leaving 1000 deposit
tors who had an account in excess of
the minimum. At is figured that in re-
ality 1000 deposits were lost because OF
the failure of the Burns company 20
maintain their contract of bringing in
5000 customers and that these were
worth on the open market at least 80
cents 1t is estimated that the dam
age due to the deprivation of the value
of these accounts is worth $4,000. Ad-
ditional damages are cited In the
amended petition to the amount of ST.
$780, but the damages asked under this
petition amount to s., 600.

MUTUAL LIFE TO FIGHT.
Demands Return of Hundred Thou
sand Dollar Perkins Policy.

John S. Dean, special attorney for the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
York,left Topeka this afternoon for Law
renee to make a demand upon the heirs
and the executors of the estate of the
late l. H. Perkins for the return
Of the life insurance policy for $780, 900
issued by the Mutual Life Insurance to
Mr.. Perkins few months before his
death. This request being refused Mr..
Dean will ask permission to have the
body of Mr.. Perkins exhumed in order
that a postmortem examination may be
made. 1t is assumed that the Mutual
Life Insurance company is preparing to
resist the payment of it's policy upon
the life of Mr.. Perkins on the grounds
that his fall from the roof of his home
June 1 last was not accidental
The fact that Mr.. Perkins carried in
surance to the extent of more than $780,
600. the policies for which had been ia
ken out only a short time previously,
caused comment.
