OF CRIME
SHOCKED ALL PARIS
Steinhe Murder Case Kept City Agog But Persistent
Attempt of Artists Wife TO Conceal Real Slayer
Proves Her Downfall

Accustomed to sensations OF every de-
| scription. Paris was stunned last MAY
at the audacity of the murder OF
Adolphe StelnheI and his mother-in-
/ law. Mime. Japy. Steinheil, his wife
ana the latter's step-mother, Nine. Japy
lived in apartments in the Rue de Vau-
girard, They had planned TO leave the
city the day of the murder, May 81.
and spend some time in the country,
but at the last minute, they were com
PEELED to abandon the trip temporarily.
The apartments i'm which the murder
was committed are near a large printing
establishment. where all-night work is
done. a constant stream of workmen
going TO and fro all through the night.
In the house that night in addition 10
the artists family. was his man serv-
ant, who slept on the top floor. He
did not hear a sound. according to his
testimony later, although Nine. Stein
he'll declared she could hear the screams
of her mother-in-law. as she was being
killed. The next morning the man serv--
ant found SteInheil dead In the pas
sage way. Nine Jspy strangled 10 death
In her bed. and Nine Steinheil bound
in her bed. a heavy cord around her
throat and gag. which she had man
aged TO get out OF her mouth, on the
floor. The body of Steinheil was found
resting on his knees with the upper
part of the body thrown back. and a
cord. similar to that around his wife's
neck, drawn tightly around his throat
His face was almost black.
Nine Steinheil's Story.
It was about 1 o'clock In the morning,
Nine. SteinheiI afterward testified. that
she heard intruders in the house. Three
men and woman burst into her room
and bounced upon her. Evidently mis-
taking her for her sixteen-yeaF-OId
daughter. one OF the men said.
Your father had an exhibition las
night. Where is the money!"
Mime. Steinheil said she pointed 10
a drawer in the bureau, and the woman
muttered;
why don't you kill her? Why are
you sparing her2'
Nine. Steinheu declared she recog-
nized the voice as that OF one OF he
husbands models. but this theory prov
ed OF no value in the subsequent IN
vestigation.
Evidently believing they had killed
clared. the intruders went on. and she
could hear the dying means OF her step
mother, but was powerless 20 make on
outcTy or aid her In any way.
When news of the murder became
known the next day all Paris was
thrown into an uproar. II created one
Of the greatest sensations in years, not
only because OF the prominence of Stein
he'll but because of the boldness with
which the crime was committed.
But the sensation caused by the crime
faded into insignihcance beside the man
ner in which its investigation was prose-
cuted and the developments in which the
inquiry resulted.
Clues Followed.
For a time the police followed out
clues given by Nine. Steinheil. and the
arrest was that of Alexandra
Wolf, son of a former employee of the
Stelhheils. Nine. Steinheu declared
