KILLS SWEETHEART.
INvFNTS HOLD-UP
!,
Man Says He Thought Her Life
in Danger and Nervousness
Spoiled Aim.
NOT ACCEPTED BY THE POLICE
Believe Man Wanted to Break Engage
ment and Was Too C0wardly to
Tell the Girl.

Baltimore. March 10. - Under
searching questioning by the police
Yesterday. John J. Mueller confessed
that it was he who Monday nlghC
shot and killed his sweetheart, MISS
Regina. Reed, and that there was no
truth in the story he told immediate
w after the shooting, to the erect
that he and Miss Reed were held up
at a lonely spot near Mount WaSh-
ington a suburb by highwayman'
who after securing Muellers money
demanded a necklace worn by MISS
Reed Mueller stated Monday night
that in response to this demand MISS
Reed slapped the highwayman face
and that thereupon the fatal shot was
fred. Following the investigation Oh
the coroner Monday night Mueller
was held.
Tells Another Story.
Yesterday he made and signed
statement in which he said when the
electric car upon which he and Miss
Reed were riding reached South and
HILTON avenues, Miss Reed, whose
marriage to Mueller was set for April
IA said she must leave the car. They
did so, and according to Muellers
statement. after they had walked
short distance, the girl preceding
him. he thought he saw man emerg-
ing from behind a tree, and believing
himself to be in danger fired, but ow-
ing to the unsteadiness of his aim on
account of fright the bullet struck
and killed Miss Reed
His story. however, is not accepted
by the police, whose theory is that
the killing was premeditated. They
believe that Mueller wished to break
off his engagement to Miss Reed and
had not the courage to tell her so.
Punch Holes in Story.
At the cOrOner's inquest a number
of points were brought out that con-
tradict Mueller's original statement,
as well as a part of his confession. 1t
was shown that the place where the
shooting took place was dark and
that a highWayman could not have
seen the necklace worn by the girl,
and that Mueller could not have seen
the alleged highwayman's pistol
CLEAN. as he claimed in his original
story. Further, as against. details Of
Mueller's confession, there are no
trees at nor near the scene large
enough to conceal a man. 1t also de-
veloped that Miss Reed was shot
twice and three witnesses have testi-
least two minutes between the shots.
Mueller is under arrest and the po-
lice are making further investigation.

KNOCKOUT IN OIL
OCTOPUS RFTR|AL
Second Trial of Big Fine Suit in
Federal Court Likely to
End in Dismissal.
GOVERNMENT CASE IMPOSSIBLE
Judge Anderson Ruling sFOreshadOws
Complete Victory for Stand
ard Oil.

Chicago, March TO- - The govern
ment's case against the Standard
Oil company was brought almost to a
standstill yesterday by another
sweeping ruling in the defendants ia
vor by Federal Judge Anderson.
The ruling makes it certain that
unless the government produces en-
tirely new evidence, which at present
it has no way of producing, the Stand
ard Oil case will be Quashed.
The Ruling.
The court said: The government
is bound by the bill of particulars, IN
which it alleges intent to violate the
law and knowledge that it was being
violated. It relies on the Illinois clas-
sification and Tariff No. "a to prove
intent. The United States circuit
court of appeals, in its ruling on the
first case, regarded this evidence as
insufficient. That court disagreed on
this very point and decided that rea-
sonable jurors would also disagree.
II thought the government was go
ing to introduce some evidence to
clear I'D this nebulous situation. Thus
far it has failed to do so. If the Hi
nois classification is admitted it can
not bind the defendant because the
act of a third party outside of the
shipper and carrier cannot bind them.
THE circuit court of appeals could
not find proof beyond a reasonable
doubt and the trial of the case must
be governed by the law as laid down
by that court"
Case impossible.
The effect of this decision apparent
ly is to make the governments case
impossible. BY it's bill of particulars
it is bound to prove intent by the ILL
nois classification and by the ruling
of the circuit court Of appeals it can
not prove intent by that classification.
The general feeling now is that the
Standard Oil company will win a
complete victory without the necessi-
ty of even offering defense.
