was examined. Wieland came from
kiel, upon seeing newspaper reports
that the defense was throwing sus-
plclon upon him. Hau stated before
Wieland's testimony was taken that
he attached no Importance to it as
he had never suspected him. Vie
land told a straightforward story of
his movements during the critical
quarter of an hour and named the
several places where he had dis
charged errands. The trial was ex-
pected to drag out for some DAYS
longer but came to an end unexpect-
edly and the defendant was found
guilty.
Hau, a brilliant young law profess
or of Washington, D. c., killed his
wife's mother, a wealthy resident of
Baden-Baden, in that city November
6 last
The prisoner heard the verdict of
the jury with perfect composure and
chatted smilingly with counsel after
the judges withdrew to fix the sen
tence. Upon the return of the
judges, Hau rose and standing erect
with folded arms, listened to the SEN
tence without moving a muscle A
moment later he was hurried away to
prison by half a dozen policemen.
The sentence is unpopular with the
street crowds, which have been demon
strating more and more openly for
several Gays in Hau's favor and
against the Molitor family.
After adjournment of court for an
hours recess Sunday evening, the
women of the Molitor party were
compelled to remain in the court
house because it was dangerous to
appear in the streets. A carriage
waited for them in the courtyard and
it was several hours before they
were able to leave. Meanwhile,
enormous crowds had assembled in
the streets adjacent to the courthouse.
COrdiOns of police kept the crowds in
check for an hour or more, but then
lost control of them, the masses push.
ing and crushing to the doors with
the evident intention of storming the
entrance.
There were many shouts from the
crowd of %Hau is not guilty" the
voices penetrating to the courtroom.
Finally two companies of infantry and
a squadron of mounted police drove
the rioters away. The infantry with
fixed bayonets cleared al the streets
within 800 yards of the courthouse.
Many arrests were made. One old
woman was trampled by horses and
several persons were wounded.
The demonstration in favor of Hau
appears to be due largely to the
same maudlin sentiment which has
made a hero Of many another accused
of a daring crime To the unthink-
ing, Hau'5 daring trip to Baden-Baden
made him appear hero. He will
