Woman Attacked.

Carlsruhe, Germany, July 49,
Charging her with having aided the muir
der Of her mother, shouting that she had
been the mistress of her sisters husband,
while insults OF the vilest sort were
heapsd upon her by scOrnful tongues,
q mob outside the court house where the
trial of Carl Hau is in progress, made q
determined attack today upon Olga
Molitor, daughter of the prisoners's al
legged victim. Scores of police hastily
summoned to protect the girl had ter
rible fight to drive back the mobs.
With her clothes nearly torn from her
body, her hair disheveled and her face
scratched and bleeding, showing the
rough treatment to which she had been
subjected, the young woman finally es-
capped to the protection Of house.
There the police stood guard until the
mob was dispersed.
Feeling runs high in certain ranks Of
society against Fraulein Moltor because
of the aid she is charged with giving Hau
10 bis trial on a charge of killing his
mothsr-in-law, Frau Molitor. Her ap-
pearance in the street as she left the
court house was the signal for the attack
on her by the mob which had been un-
able TO gain access to the crowded court
room. Shouting insults and charges OF
wrongful relations with Hau did not long
satisfy the crowd. There WAS a rush
for her, and but for the protection OF the
police she would have Jared badly.
Aroused by the resistance of the officers,
the angry people struggled with even
grester violence, however, to wreak ven
geance on the object of their fury.
When she finally reached the shelter of
house where she could seek refuge
Miss Molilor almost collapsed 50 I'M
nerved was she by her experience.
The street demonstration followed a
sensational scene In the court room in
which the girl was one of the principal
actors. Hsu told Judge Eller that be
had sent the mysterious telegram signed
"Olga" to Frau MOlitor asking her to
come to Paris, so that she would take
Olga home. He said bis wife was jealous
of her sister and constantly created scenes.
Olga was recalled and she verified this
declaration by the prisoner. Judge FL
Ter manifested displeasnre aud asserted
the explanation was weak. He warned
Olga what would be the consequences oil
giving perjured testimony. A sharp
passage at arms followed between the
Judge, Prosecutor Bleicher aud Dietz,
Hau's attorney. The judges intlmation
of perjury testimony evidently gave the
clue to the crowd which later attacked
Olga.
Hau's relatives offered strong evidence
against him. They we're Lieutenant
Moltor and his sisters, Misses Fanny
aud Louise Molitor, children of Hau's
alleged victim. All declared their belief
that Hau was the slayer of their mother.

THE remarkable warfare between the
State and federal courts in North Caro-
lima on the question as to which has
jurisdiction over the railroad rate ques-
ton was marked yesterday by the sen
fencing Of two Southern Railway ticket
agents to the chain gang and by the
complete Outwitting of United States
Circuit Judge Pritchard by the State
authorities. Tomorrow may show new
developments, but up to the present the
advantage in the battle lies with the
State courts. A contempt battle be-
tween the State and federal courts will
probably be the next thing in order. 1t
~ not expected that either the State or
federal Judge will hold the other in con-
tempt, but it is considered likely that
Judge Pritchard will hold in contempt
attorneys who have prosecuted the rail
road agents, in violation of his iDjunc-
tlol forbidding prosecutions, and he may
M9o hold in contempt sheriff., deputies
and policemen making arrests. On the
ether hand, the State courts may begin
contempt proceedings against any fede-
raj marshal or deputy marshal attempt
