THE MuRDER or MIss REED.
Cool. iudiIIerept, bad appsrenIIy U

Cool, indifferent, and apparently un-
conscious that be may pay the penalty
of death for having murdered his sweet
heart Jennie Reed, John Joseph Musl-
Ter. aged %, of Baltimore, yesterday
morning confessed to Detective Hermsn
Pohler that be had shot her to death in
the woods near Mount Washington
Monday night. The story he had told
after the shooting of having been held
up by bighwsyman, who shot the girl
after n scuffls, be admitted to be untrue;
but though put through the third de-
gree. he maintained to the end that the
shooting wss accidental.
Mueller says he thought be saw nan
emerging from behind tree, and seeing
himself 10 be in danger, fired; but, oT-
iug to the uusteadiness of his aim, on
account Of fright, the bullet struck aud
killed Miss Reed.
His story, however, Is not accepted
by the police, whose theory is that the
killing was premedisted. They believe
that Mueller wished to break of his en-
psgemeut to Miss Reed, but had not the
courage to tell her so. At the coroner's
inquest number of points were brought
OUT that contradict MusIler's originsl
statement, So we'll as a part OF his co.,
lession.
1t vas shown that the Place where the
shooting took place was dark, snd that
a hirhwsymsn could not have seen The
pecklace worn by the girl, which, Muel-
Ter said, the robber demanded, and that,
for the same reason, Mueller could not
have seen the alleged highwsyman's
pistol glisten. as he claimed 10 his orlgi-
nal story. Further, as against details
of Mueller's confession, there are no
trees at or near the scene large enough
to conceal a nan.
1t also developed that Miss Reed was
shot twice, aud three witnesses have tes-
tilted that there was an interval of at
leas. two ninnte5 between the sho's
Police Captain Pnmphrey, talking to
Mueller yesterday, reminded him that
last December he complained to the po'
lice that be bad received an anonymous
letter regarding Miss Reed, and thai
lstsr he received box Of candy; thai
be ate some of it; that it was poisoned,
aud tba. physicians said 1t had been
loaded with strychnia.
"YOu remember, Mueller, that | tolc
you thai | believed you had written tia
anonymous letter to yourself, and tha
you bad also sent yourself the poisoned
candy"
81 remember" admitted Mueller
"Well," continued the officer, 81 be-
lieve you we're then preparing to kill
this girl and we're trying 10 misls a.
people by msking them think you hst
some secret enemy who would injurs o.
kill you"

George Snyder, head keeper, was trans.

Real ziug that q wound from the fapgs
of the snake would mean practically in
slant death, the keeper stood absolutely
motionless, fearing TO maze the slightest
sound to call for aid from the other
keepers in the reptile house. Snyder
kept his eyes fixed immovably on the
snake, fearing that If he took his gsze
from the snake for moment Il might
bury It's iangs 10 bis arm.
As be looked into the beady eyes Of
tie sdd(r, Snyder felt with new thrill
of horror that be vas swiftly sinking in-
to a hypnotic spell ander the mysterious
influence of the reptiles power to

on the point Of sinking TO the floor, par

Tomey cautiously approached aud with

and in moment or two had it in the
cage sgain.
Snyder wss so weakened by the terri

after q short time, but his nerve was sc
shaken that be was relieved from duty
for the rest of the day.
