BERLIN, Aug. s.-A sequel TO the trial Of
Karl Hau for the murder Of his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Moliter, was the arrest Of Baron
LAndenau last night at Mannheim, on his
return from Heidelberg. A day or two ago
the Baron informed Herr Diotz, who was
counsel for Hau at the trial, that he wit
messed the murder and that Hau was not
present. IL is not suggested that Lindnoau
was implicated In the murder, but the all
thorities intend TO keep him secluded.
When Lindenau gave his information
he was asked why he had not spoken sooner.
He said that he had had private reasons
for not having it known hat he was In
Baden Baden on the evening on which b
murder took place.
After Hadenau's arrest last night he
was closely examined by State Attorney
Bleicher. His house has been searched
and all the doors and windows have been
sealed.
The Berlin police say that the charges
on which Lindenau is under arrest are
blackmail and libel. The evidence On
which the police rely is an anonymous letter
that Lindenau is alleged TO have sent TO
Olga Moliter. sister Of Hsu's wife. In which
he said he saw her shoot her mother. but
hat he would keep silence as he owed her
and wished her TO marry him.
Olga Molitor, daughter Of the murdeeed
woman, was summoned by the State at
torney at Carlsruhe and examined In oou-
nection with the story told by aron IAnde-
nsu, after which she was allowed TO return.

INV all men come p%ortentous mo-
ments, difficult moments, tri-
umphant moments. Loder had
~ had his examples of all three,
but no moment in his career ever
equaled in strangeness Of sensation
that in which, dressed in another mans
clothes, he fitted the latchkey for the
first time into the door Of the other
mans house.
The act was quietly done. The key
fitted the lock smoothly, and his fin
gers turned it without hesitation,
though his heart. usually extremely
steady, beat sharply for a second. The
hall loomed massive and somber, des-
pite the m%odernity of electric lights.
1t was darkly and extensively dec
GRATED in black and brown; a frieze
Of wrought bronze, representing pea
C with outspread tails, ornament
ed the walls; the banisters were of
heavy ironwork, and the somewhat
formidable fireplace was of the same
dark metal.
Loder looked about him. then ad.
vanced, his heart again beating quick
ly as his hand touched the cold ban
lister and he began his ascent of the
stairs. But at each step his conf
dence strengthened, his feet became
more firm until, at the head of the
stairs, as if to disproye his assurance,
his pulses played him false once more,
this time to a more serious tune. From
the farther end of a we'll lighted cor
rldor a maid was coming straight in
his direction.
For IL short second all things
seemed to whiz about him; the GER
tainty of detection overpowered his
mind. The indisputable knowledge
that ht was John Loder and no other,
despite all armor of %effrontery and
dress, so dominated him that all other
considerations shrank before it. 1t
wanted but IL word. one simple word
of denunciation. and the whole scheme
was shattered. In the dismay of the
moment he almost wished hat the
word might be spoken and the sus-
pense ended.
But the maid came on in silence. and
SO incredible was the silence that
Loder moved onward too. He came
within a yard of her, and still she did
not speak. Then, as he passed her.
she drew back respectfully against
the wall.
The strain, so astonishingly short.
had been immense. but with it's slack
ening came Il strong reaction. The es-
pected humiliation seethed suddenly
to a desire to dare fate. pauS'ng

man back.

of Chilcote's evening clothes. "When
l get to Grosvcnor square I am to find
your house. go straight in, mount the
stairs and there oil my right hand will
be the door of you'll mean my own

remaining rings to Chilcote and picked
up the o%vercoat.
"Ill stick on till l get Il Wire" he
said. ''Then I'll come back and We'll
reverse again" He slipped on the coat
n moved back toward the table.
Now that the decisive moment had
come it embarrassed him. Scarcely
knowing how to bring it to an end. he
held out his hand.
Chilcote took it, paling a little.
""Twill be all right he said. with a
sudden return of nervousness. "'Twill
be all right. And I've made it plain
about-about the remuneration? A
hundred a week, besides all expenses"
Loder smiled again. My pay? Oh.
yes, you've made it clear as day. Shall
we say good night now"
"Yes. Good night"
There was Il strange, distant note in
Chilcote's voice, but the other did not
pretend to hear it. He pressed the
hand he was holding. though the cold
dampness of it repealed him.
Good night" he said again.
Good night
They stood for a moment awkwardly
looking at each other, then Loder quiet
ly d~isengaged his hand, crossed the
room and passed through the door.
Chilcote, left standing alone in the
middle of the room, listened while the
last sound of the others footsteps was
audible on the uncarpeted stairs. Then.
with a furtive, hurried gesture, he
caught up the green shaded lamp and
passed into Loder's bedroom.

said.
For the first time Eve showed a per

Loder, uncertain of how to take the
words, moved back to the desk. He
carried an unlighted cigarette between
his fingers.
There was an interval in which nei-
Their spoke. Then at last, conscious Of
it's awkwardness, Eve rose. With n
hand on the back of her chair she look
ed at him.
"Mr. Fraide thinks it's such a pity
that"-she stopped to choose her words
