HAU CHEERFUL
Alleged Murderer Answers Cues lions That He Refused at
 Yesterdays Hearing
STORY OF MARRIAGE

Karlsruhe, Germany, July l8.- The trial of Karl Hau, on the charge of having murdered his mother-in- law, Frau Molitor, in Baden-Baden, on November 6 of last year, was re- stunned here to-day.
 Hau appeared in the court room looking as cheerful and confident as yesterday He surprised the court by making important admissions con- corning incidents of which he had hitherto refused to speak. When the presiding judge called handwriting experts to identify Hau's writing in the dispatch sent from Paris calling Frau Molitor to that city, Hau anti cipating the testimony, arose from his seat and said that in order to ex- pedite the case he would admit that he wrote this dispatch. The judge inquired whether he had sent it off, but this Hau declined to answer. He also refused to say whether his wife was aware that this message had been sent.
 Philip Uhlig, merchant of Frank fort-on-the-Main, testified he saw a man on November in the Frank fort railroad station wearing a false beard and moustache. The judge here asked Hau to put on similar dis guises, and Uhlig then recognized him as the man.
 Anna Leroh, who left Washington with MT and Mrs Hau in the capacity of maid servavnt, testified that when Hau left London to return to the continent he cautioned his wife to keep his London address secret. The wife asked if she might write to her mother, and Hau replied of course. D
 c. A. Bratter, newspaperman of Constantinople, testified that while Hau was in the Turkish capitol he played the roll of a man of wealth. He spent money lavishly, chartered a yacht, organized revels at a hotel with dancing girls and boasted of his wild life as student.
 Frau Mueller, a sister of Hau's stepmother, testified that she accom- panied MT Hau, ST, to London. Upon hearing of the arrest of Hau she visit ed him in prison. He gave her the impression of a crazy man.
 She said to him:
 Are you guilty, Karl?"
 No, did not do it."
 Hau boarded with Frau Mueller while attending the classical prepara- tory school at Treves. She said he was a good boy and a model student, but that he commenced to show signs of amatory alterations as soon as he left the school. Referring to Hau's elopement with Lima Molitor, the witness said the couple went to Switzerland, where they were visited by Mir Hau, ST. They soon after ran out of funds and were in despair. She was informed, the witness continued, that the couple intended to commit suicide and that Hau shot at Lima, but missed her heart. Lima then re- quested Hau to shoot a second time, but the mans courage failed him. They then planned to end their lives by poisoning, but this project also was abandoned. Upon hearing of his sons trouble. Mir Hau, ST, decided that the couple must marry, go to America and start life anew. He undertook to assist them financially.

There's nothing so bad for Cough
as Coughing" Coughing is like scratch
ing wound; so long as it is done, it
will not heal. When tempted to Cough,
draw long breath through the nostrils;
hold it until it warns the air cells. The
nitrogen thus refined, alays the desire
to cough and gives the throat and lungs
a chance to heal. The use of Seventy
seven will aid nature in her efforts to
recuperate.
