spending a day there he returned 10 the
Continent. remaining there until Novem-
be- :. the day Of his arrest in London
After a preliminary hearing Hau was
remanded to the Bow street station, his
case being continued several times await
ing the arrival Of extradition papers. Upon
their arrival he was turned over to the
German authorities. the cablegram an
nouncing that he had attempted TO com
NIT suicide by hanging on his way to
Hamburg This was denied by the de-
tective accompanying him.
On Verge of Collapse.
II. Ralph Burton, a close friend OF
Hau's. last night said that following his
departure from T1rkey. letters had been
received by his friends in this city stating
that he was on the verge Of a nervous
collapse. The theory is advanced that
owing to overwork and mental anxiety
attending his efforts at Constantinople his
mind had become unbalanced.
Prof. Hau came to Washington in Sep
tember, 1901. shortly after his marriage
to Lena MolitOr in Germany. Her father
was court physician 10 the Grand Duke Of
bhNth, anu uitQ ltdflHS d idtity ldl *
estate.
Immediately after his arrival, Prof.
Hau entered upon the study Of law at
George Washington University. His work
as a student at once attracted the atten-
ton Of President Needham and other
members Of the faculty. who noted
especially that he had an unusually thor
ough knowledge Of Roman law.
Becomes Member of Faculty.
Immediately after graduating he was
called to the faculty and from that time
until his recent arrest held the position
of professor Of Roman law at the uni
veTsity. The brilliancy of his mind con-
tinued 10 make itself manifest in his
work. and every branch Of law that he
took UP was mastered IN d remarkable
way. While in Washington he lived at
the Highlands with his wife and little
daughter.
In view Of the fact that he was accused
Of having murdered Frau Molitor for her
money, it was generally commented upon
that in the fall Of 1893 he offered 10 turn
over his salary for the purposes Of found
ing scholarship prizes.
