in an effort to get position in north
Germany, saying he could live no longer
with Frau Moliter, as she was crazy.
Wieland appeared upon the scene Of the
tragedy Immediately after the shooting.
1t was noticed that his trousers were torn.
This he explained by saying that they had
caught while he was climbing over a fence.
The personal appearance of Wieland, how
ever. does not agree with that Of the man
who was seen following the Molitors.
Wieland Is sbeardless and twenty-one
years Of age, while the other man has been
described as middle aged, with--an iron
gray beard. and wearing a brown overcoat.
Various witnesses have testified that VIE
land wore a lackeys uniform when he ap-
peared at the scene of the shooting.
A mysterious circumstance is that VIE
land disappeared soon after the murder,
and the prosecuting authorities have not
been able to ascertain his wherea bouts. If
he and the man seen following the Mohtors
are the same person, he also must have dis
guised himself with false beard.
In view of the Introduction of such points
as the foregoing the hearing of the case
will be prolonged into next week.
