CHAIN OF EVIDENCE POINTS TO GUILT
au Says lie COmittsd No Murder But the Testimony is oil
Very Contradictory Nature

yacht, organized revels at a hotel
with dancing girls and boasted of his
wild life as student. He claimed to
have an immense income and showed
a passion. for collecting stones.
Frau Mueller, a sister of Hau's step
mother, testified that she accompanied
Hau, senior, to London Upon hear
ing of the arrest Of Hal, she had an
interview with him in prison. She
found him much altered and in a
state of great mental excitement. He
gave her the impression of crazy
man, holding his arms eigidly to his
sides and then touching his forehead
in a singular manner. She said to
him:
Are you guilty, Karlas
To this the prisoner answered:
mo; / did not do 1t.
Hau boarded with Frau Mueller
while attending the classical prepara-
tory school at Trieves. She said he
was a good boy and model student,
but that he commenced to show signs
of amatory alterations as soon as
he left the school.
The testimony at the afternoon ses-
sion was considered damaging to the
prisoners case. Dora Metzger, who
conducts a confectionery shop in Ba-
den Baden. testified tnatson the day of
the tragedy between the hours Of 8
and in the afternoon, she walked
with an escort in the vicinity of the
Molitor villa. She noticed there a
man wearing a heavy black beard,
which both, she and her escort regard
ed as false.
The witness was unable to say
whether or not the man was Hau, but
she declared that the collar of his oy-
ercoat was turned up as other wit
nesses had described.
Upon hearing Of the murder of Mrs.
Molitor, she said she remarked it
could only have been committed by
that man. s "A
Otto Bechtor, IA barbsr Of Fran kfort,
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1907-07-19

testified to making beard for Hau,
who had explained that he wanted to
surprise his relatives whom he had
not seen in five years. Hau put on
the beard in his shop on the night Of
November and started in the direc-
tion of the railroad station, carrying
his valises. A porter by the name of
Henschler, of Frankfort hotel, recog-
nized on the witness stand telegram
which Hau gave him addressed to
Mrs. Hau in London. Henschler read
the telegram at the time and was
struck by the request contained there
in to keep Hau's address secret.
At the evening session the court
took up the afidavits of Paris wit
nesses. A waiter in the Hotel Regina
sWore that he heard lively dispute
between Mr.. and Mrs. Hau on the day
the telegram was sent to Frau Moli-
tor. The judge asked Hau if Olga
was the cause of his quarrel and Hau
leaned forward, evidently intending to
answer and then suddenly said he
would refuse to answer. The judge
warned the prisoner that he had better
answer the question. Thereupon Hau
said that the dispute was the first In
stance when his wife reproached him
with being too intimate with her sis
ter, Olga. He, however, calmed her,
he said, by removing her fears. Olga
Molitor was recalled and testified that
Mr.. Hau gave her a similar version Of
the affair. Hau, continuing his testi-
mony, said the dispute was the cause
Of the sending his telegram to Frau
Molitor to come to Paris Immediately.
Olga was i'll and the reason for this
action was that he wanted to get
Olga away as soon as possible. The
judge pointed out the weakness of his
explanation, since Hau had prear-
ranged the date Of Olga's departure
only two days distant. Hau replied
that he was excited and he did the
first thing that suggested itself to-
his mind.

The parade ground was on Broad
street for a distance Of three miles
north and the same distance south OF
the city hall. The paraders counter
marched the last three miles back to
the city hall. so that they traversed
upward of nine miles, yet few OF
those overcome by the heat were In

Those who succumber were among
the spectators jammed along the
street in a solid mass from one end
of the line to the other. The temper
ature hovered around 80 degrees and
the humidity was excessive, and as .
consequence people sweltered.

At the residence an authoritative
statement Of the cabinets action last
night was made. It stated that the
cabine recommended that the en-
peror retire and leave the throne to
the crown prince The emperor did
not reply then, but convened the cab
met for this afternoon.
Marquis Ito says that the cabinet is
acting on its own initiative and with
out knowledge Of Japan's plans or
desires.
This morning leading cabinet min
lister declared that the emperor's res
olution was wholly unshaken at the
close OF last nights session and the
minister was hopeless Of the cabinets
power to influence the emperor today.
A number Of Koreans calling them
selves elder statesmen Of Korea, have
sent long letter to Marquis Ito inti-
mating that Japan would receive their
support in fair dealing toward the en-
peror, but failing that, they would die
the martyrs death and the whole ma
tion would do likewise.
& They denied that the country was
implicated in the sending of the dele
cation to The Hague. 1t IS believed
that the cabinet ministers again pro-
ceeded to the palace last night for the
purpose Of further urging the emperor
to abdicate.
The audience Of Marquis ITO with
the emperor lasted one hour. It is re-
ported that the emperor pleaded i'm
ploringly to the former to help save
Korea from her present complication
in manner satisfactory to Japan and
without doing anything derogatory to
the Korean court.
Marquis Ito, it is said, carefully
avoided making any definite reply and
retired without committing himself.

Seoul, via Toxic. July 1s. Marquis
Ito visited the emperor at 4:3O O'clock
this afternoon in response to the EN-
peror's plea. After two weeks obsti-
nate seclusion and silence, the en-
peror late yesterday sent to the court
of Ito a message that inasmuch as
both were worried over the presence
Of the Korean deputation at The
Hague, he therefore begged the resi-
dent general to come to the palace.
Marquis Ito's first reply sent this

court never has been called upon to
finally determine the question. Judge
Lawlor remarked today that he will
pass upon the matter before compos-
ing his charge to the jury.
The contention OF the prosecution Is
that persons are not accomplices in
the meaning Of the law unless they
are indictable for the same offense,
and it is pointed out that In this state
bribe giving (or otfering) Is one Of
tense, and bribe taking is distinctly
another, each differently punishable.

Wee" Willie Weller, OF the ANA

Galveston to join the Dallas aggre-

intimates that for the present Weller

Weler's departure will cause
great disappointment to fans here
He IS an all round player who makes
good in almost any position As a
pitcher he has ability that the man
ayers have found It convenient to use
at times. But It is an an infielder
that he most distinguishes himself
and at short. third or second, he
covers the field. He is a safe hitter
and is base runner of remarkable
ability. This latter attribute is prob
ably what commended him TO the
Dallas manager While the Indians
friends here feel that he can make
good in fast company, they are still
hoping that the Dallas manager will
find all the places filled when Wei
Ter arrives and will let him como
back here to finish the season,
