HAU INSANE, SAYS BURTON.
Legal Representative Here of Con-
demned Man Discusses Verdict.

H. Ralph Burton. Hau's legal repre-
sentative I'm the United States, was greatly
shocked when told last night that the
former washingtonian had been found
guilty OF the murder OF his mother-in-
law. Frau Molitor.
Il cannot believe Hau was guilty said
Ir. Burton, in commenting on the case.
ITO me it Is inexplicable that such a man
should commit the crime for which il
seems Hau Is 20 pay the penalty.
Further, as 1 have stated before. I do
not believe that Hau has had q fair trial
The prosecuting witnesses. the prosecuting
attorney. and the presiding judge all seem
TO have had an inclination TO use every
bit Of evidence to Haus disadvantage
which is manifestly unfair.
OF course, the prosecuting attorney is
expected to work for the conviction Of
prisoners. but Il seems TO me the presid-
ing judge has not permitted Hau TO have
a fair hearing
Il do not see how a Jury of fair-minded
men could find him guilty on the cir
Cumstantial evidence that has been sub
mltted. More than that, I cannot con-
ceive the justice of hanging a man on
circumstantiaI evidence. It IS notorious
that a great percentage Of men so eX-
ecuted are later found to have been in
nocent, but then It is too late for redress.
Granting the verdict OF the jury is
right. for the sake OF argument, then ]
say that Hau was insane at the time Of
the murder He could not have com
mitted the crime IL he had been in his
right mind
"To me the case is the saddest Of any
with which 1 have ever come in contact.
A year ago theirs was a happy family.
To-day the wife and mother are dead,
the daughter motherless. and the father
Is under che shadow of the gallows One
could hardly picture a greater tragedy, a"
Concerning the possibility of action by
Hau's friends in Washington. Mr.. Burton
said there would probably be none.
"Hau is not an American citizen" said
Mr. Burton, "and for that reason there
is nothing we can do from, this side He
sevaded the prescribed military duty IN
Germany. and that is held against him.
''To me- il looks as though everything
had conspired TO aid the terrible processes
Of the German police in sending Hau 10
death, but 1 cannot see there is anything
to be done here"
It was reported that Mrs. Hau had left
something like sl5,000 on deposit in q
Washington bank. but so far as Mr.
Burton is concerned. he knOwns nothing
of il. Practically all Of HaU's possessions
were taken abroad when the family left
Washington a year ago, and there is
nothing here by way Of an estate that vii
nave to be settled.

STILLINGS REMAINS UNMOVED
Public Printer Not Affected by
Typos Condemnation.
Declares He Has No Comment "a
Make Concerning Action of
Columbia Union.

Public Printer Charles A. Stillings is
unmoved by the resolutions terming him
a "slave-driver" and enemy OF union
labor" adopted at the meeting Of Colum-
bla Typographical Union Sunday last
Yesterday he let IL be understood that
he had no comment 10 make concerning
the action of the unionists. Whether he
is at all perturbed by the prospect Of Pres
ident Roosevelt and Attorney General
Bonaparte getting copies Of the decision
IS not known, but It is pretty generally
felt throughout the big printing office
that he does not regard the men who
adopted the resolutions truly. representa-
tive of the union members employed In
the governments print shop.
For that reason, he let Il be understood,
he does not feel his course neccessitates
justification or defense, and that he will
proceed to run the Office as he has run
it In the past. His subordinates say that
inasmuch as he Is attempting a purely
business administration, 1t is to be pre-
sumed he will observe the ever-present
exigencies Of business and omit senti-
ment. the lack OF which, the officials
declare, IS what has stirred up ali the
antagonism.
1T can be safely stated" said an Off
cial, that the Public Printer is no more
antagonistic 10 union labor than he is to
Catholics, or Masons, or Presbyterians.
As part of the government. he can no
more recognize union labor than he can
religion in making promotions and cutting
down the force. and it is a fact that with
one exception all the promotions he has
made have been of union men.
AS for the story that a woman COM
mitted suicide because she could not live
on what she made. if true il is no fault
of the Public Printer. She did extra
work, and the Public Printer cannot put
people on the pay role unless there is
work for them to do. As for dismissals
| every one should know that Congress not
only reduced the amount of work done
/ by this office, but as we'll cut down the
appropriation S2OO0,000. The Office is not
run as a hiding place for friends of poll
/ ticians, and il is up to the Public Printer
/ to get all the work out of the men he can
/ Just as though he were operating a pri-
! vate concern.
"As for the matter Of fines, the system
now In vogue is no different than il has
/ been. The Public Printer is under bond
and If work Is made useless because o
/ the mistakes OF proOfreaders, they, anC
not the printer. should pay, should thel
not? That is the sum total Of the ques
/ ton OF fines We don't expect every
! man to be a paragon of ability and in
fallibility but when they do make mis-
takes they should be willing to pay FOL
/ them The same system Is in vogue II
/ the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
There are something like l. 200 members
OF the typographical Union in Washing
ton, Of which about 1900 work here. Tn,
resolutions were adopted by some 200 men
most of them people who do not work il
this Office. For that reason, the Public
/ Printer has no comment TO make, ant
will have none"
