freighters. However, the sailing vessel
in which Muller took passage was
even slower. and 1t was calculated that
the Manchester" would reach New
York some days before the Victoria" +"
1t was an anxious voyage, and the
time was counted with feverish impa-
tience; but the expectations of the
pursuers were realized and the Man
chester" reached New York more than
48 hours ahead of the Victoria" The
four men waited on the dock, and as
soon as the vessel reached the pier,
they went aboard. Muller had been
quite sick on the &ay over and he
came on deck looking pale and care
worn. Mr.. Graves and the cabman
recognized him at once and shouted
In unison:
That's the mani"
The two detectives Immediately
placed him under arrest and before
leaving the vessel made a search of
the prisoners box. The watch belong
ing to, the murdered man was found
in his trunk, wrapped up in piece Of
leather. Most audacious of all, Muller,
at the time of his capture, was wear
ing the hat which belonged to the
murdered man. 1t had been cut down
and somewhat altered, but there was
no difficulty in finding traces which
made 1t correspond to the article of
headgear which had been in the family
Of the victim for many years.
Through the cooperation of the
IL
pers were speedily prepared and the
prisoner went back to England in the
custody of his four captors, arriving
there in the middle of September of
the year of the murder. Although the
Bertillion system of Identification by
means of tkdmb-prints had not been
perfected at that time, the first steps
taken by the authorities was to secure

hands. These were carefully compared
with the blood-print on the door of the
railway carriage, and the marks of the
right hand we're found to correspond
fairly well with the blood-stained i'm
preston on the door of the coach.
The trial occurred at the next ses-
sion Of the general criminal court
Sir Robert Collyer, the solicitor-gen-
eral. had charge of the prosecution
which was based entirely upon cir
cumstantial evidence. It was charged
that Muller had committed the muir
der under a sudden impulse; that
standing at the station he had no
ticed Mr.. Briggs watch and chain and
jewelry, and was filled with an over
whelming desire to possess them; that
on the spur of the moment he had de-
termined to follow him into the car
riage. The victim resisted. but his as

sailant determined to possess the val
uables, no matter at what cost He
had tried to choke Mr.. Briggs into in
sensibility, and not succeeding in
that, had seized hold of a life pre-
server such as is carried in English
railway carriages and had used 1t to
batter in the head of his venerable
victim. There was a deep wound over
the ear, the skull was fractured, and
there were several other blows on the
head. Following up this presentation
of the crime, the distinguished solic-
itor-general presented, piece by piece,
the bits of evidence which, in his
mind, convicted Franz Muller of the
murder of Thomas Briggs Sir Robert
Collyer said that 1t was the strongest
circumstantial evidence which had
ever been brought forward In muir
der case in his time. Muller, on his
part, set up an alibi, but it was not
very well substantiated, and the jury
without the slightest hesitation, re.
turned verdict of guilty.
After his conviction Muller insisted
that he had been found guilty upon
false statement Of facts. His case
was taken up by the Society for the
Protection of Germans in England.
and the most powerful influences were
exerted there and abroad to obtain a
reprieye for the convict. In the mean
time. Muller was urged to make a
confession Of his crime. He evaded any
direct response to this appeal, usual
ly saying; why should man confess
to man? Man cannot forgive man;
only God can do so. Man is therefore
only accountable to God" He persisted
in maintaining this attitude until the
very last He was not vicious man
In any manner or way, and 1t was
quite evident that his crime was not
premeditated, and this fact at times
caused some uneasiness of conscience
to his captors. His refusal to admit his
guilt was perplexing and disquieting.
Finally the day of execution arrived.
A German pastor attended him to the
scaffold and urged him to make his
peace with God. The black cap was
placed over his eyes, and the rope was
adjusted about his neck. The execu.
toner prepared to give the signal
which would launch him into eter-
nifty. At that psychological moment
Muller leaned over and whispered in
the ear of his pastor:
'I did it."
The next second the drop had
slipped, and Franz Muller had gone to
meet his Creator.

1T belongs to my little girl" was
the reply.
Where did she get it?"
1t was given to her by a man who
lodged with us-his name is Franz
Muller. He left very suddenly after
the papers had become full of the
Mystery of the Railway Carriage"
This was news with a vengeance.
The cabman was taken in hand and
subjected to rigorous cross-examina-
ton. He told all about his German
lodger and said among other things,
that the man had left his photograph
on the bureau in the second-story back
room where he had lodged. The police
Immediately secured the photograph
and Col. Fraser fastened to Cheap
side and presented it to Graves, the
jeweler.
"Did you ever see that MANI" he
inquired.
Il did," was the reply. "He is the
foreigner who came here and ex-
changed the chain on the day after the
Briggs murder"
Col. Fraser returned to the cabman's
home and held another long interview
with the red-faced person who had SO
providentially furnished him with a
clue.
The cabby proved to be veritable
mine of information. He testified,
among other things. that he had pur-
chased the hat which was found in the
railway carriage, doing so at the re-
quest of Muller, his German boarder
1t was learned that Muller had trans
ferred his residence to cheap lodg-
ing house in the Whitechapel dis
trict. This was carefully guarded, and
Col. Fraser having supplied himself
with a warrant, went there one morn
ing to arrest the suspect. Two men
were stationed in the front of the
house and two in the rear, and Con.
Fraser, himself, went upstairs to make
the arrest. He hammered at the door.
There was no response. He burst 1t
open, and found-nothing The room
was empty. The bird had flown.
Col. Frazer realized the Importance.
OF prompt and speedy action and he
at once formulated plans by which
two of the shrewdest detectives in the
metropolis were detailed to go to
America to arrest Mr.. Franz Muller.
Bobby Smith, the cabman, and Mr..
Graves, the jeweler Of Cheapside,
were sent with the officers for the
purpose of Identifying Muller. This
curiously assorted quartet immediate

The Bay View Season.

We are beginning to hear much about
Bay View in Northern Michigan, amid
the groves on the shore of Lake Michi-
gan. Thirty-three years ago the place
was wilderness; now it is the largest
summer city in the west and one the
most beautiful spots in all the world.
Hundreds of cottages fill its pretty
terraces, their owners coming from
New York to Seattle, drawn by the
climate and advantages of that pleas
ant place. Bay View combines the
seaside advantages of Ocean Grove
and the educational opportunities of
Chautauqau and has both in rich and
varied abundance. 1t is the seat of an
Assembly and 2 summer University of
great reputation, and in the season is
thronged with the most delightful peo-
pie IN the land. Bay View is thorough
ly modern and makes much of recrea-
tons and is now building a Sl2,0
swimming rool and bowling alley. This
year it adds two new departments to
its already full list of summer meetings.
One is a summer school in Household
Arts and Science, conducted by six
women of the highest reputation. The
other is Bible Conference Of all de-
nominations. in which will participate
conspicuous divines and eminent lay
men, including such as Governors
Glenn, of North Carolina and Buchel,
of Colorado. and Judge Lindsey, of
Denver The varied summer annouce-
ments fill forty-eight beautifully illus
trated pages in the Bay View Magazine,
copies of which can be had for the ask
ing, by addressing j. M. Hail, Boston
Boulevard, Detroit, Mich. The sum-
mer meetings begin on July 18th, and
last five weeks.
