HAU ATTORNEYS
PLAN TO OFFER
INSANITY PLEA
Former Washington Pro-
fessor Ready For Trial,
Which Begins July II.

KARLSRUHE, Germany, July 1.-The
plea Of mental irresponsibuity, despite
the act OF being formally pronounced
sane by allenists. will probably be the
defense put forward in behalf of Karl
Hau. the young professor formally at
tached TO George Washington Univers-
ity, and whose trial for the murder Of
his mother-in-law will begin here on
July II. Counsel for Hau has given
notice that he will call in many ex-
perts to prove insanity, including the
famous Prof. -Schaffenberger, of Co
logne.
Despite the knowledge that the re-
cent suicide Of mis- wife has turned pub
lie sympathy away from him, and his
own personal grief and detection over
his loss, Hau bears up exceedingly well,
and will make a brave appearance in
the courtroom when his case is called
in a little over two weeks from now.
With the 1000 marks found on him
when taken into custody, the former
Washington professor does not lack
for any luxury, having his wishes and
meals brought in from a nearby hotel.
Escapades Recalled.
The sensational features of tne crime.
as well as the powerful criminal ma
chinery of the country, have served
TO bring out many unsavory details Of
Haus career-incidents that show him
in the light Of an adventurer, accord
ing to the allegations of the prosecut-
ing authorities Hau denies the mur-
der Of his mOther-in-law. Frau Molitor,
as he has consistently done from the
beginning. and mas faced evidence
against him with uncompromising firm
ness.
Hau is now twenty-seven years OF
age. and was just twenty when he
eloped with the daughter Of wealthy
widow OF Baden-Baden. As the young
professor was afflicted with the wander
lust the couple rambled all over Eu-
rope. and finally reached washington
1t is charged that Hau continually ex-
torted money from the slain mother Of
his wife, and also caused his bride 70
do so. Before her suicide, the wife is
alleged to have confessed that once, in
4 Paris hotel. when she refused to write
for money, Hau drew a pistol and shot
her in the hip.

Misrial Predicted.
Back Of all events attendant upon
the trial lies the long troubles Of Col

tory of California, the activities of a
private detective agency. the labor wars
Of the Couer d'Alene district, and other
matters that seem hardly germane to
the murder Of Steunenberg. Personally.

stands TO-DAY. would say that the
events OF the past eight weeks indicate

been such that we lawyers watching the
case are puzzled. and il can hardly have
any other effect on the jury"
