Love For Children
Brings Mueller Back.

In the view Of the district attorney
and the coroner, this letter shows first
that love for the child that was then a
baby and for the child about to be born
was bringing Mueller back TO Astoria.
It proves also the most important
proposition Of all in a murder trial. ac-
cOrding to these officers of the law, the
fact that Mueller planned the murder
of Anna Luther, while he was With her
In Germany or at least plotted her
abandonment and the theft Of her dOWry
and wedding gifts.
The explanation given TO his wife of
the trunks he was soon to take to their
home made everything plain, There
was no need for her to make inquiries
concerning the initials "A. l." on the
dresses and underwear, the blankets
and table linen. They were oil bought
in unopened trunks in a Hamburg auc-
ton house. according to Mueller's letter.
The letter was given to the coroner
by the woman who has been known as
Mrs. Frederick Gebhardt. Sire is fiercely
determined TO do all in her power to
bring To justice the man who IS the
father of her children.
She has given TO the coroner every
bit of clothing, every household utensil,
and every other thing that came into
the Astoria house in poor Anna Luth-
er's trunks. She has given the Two
fierce dogs to the police OF Brooklyn.
Mueller had hoped TO sell these as po-
lice dogs. Their only useful purpose

Advises Women
To Know Men They Marry.
After your experience with this man
what advice would you give to women"
II would say to them; don't marry a
man you don't know thoroughly. Keep
away from matrimonial agencies. Don't
believe every man who says he loves
you.
'eThe most foolish thing a woman can
do is to give her whole life to a man for
the sake of his companionship and a
home. She should know him on all sides
Il was lonesome and foolish. I did
what I thought was fine and romantic
and I have peid for It with a ruined
life.
What say about matrimonial
agencies say also about street hirta-
items and other follies to which wo-
men sometimes give way. II you don't
know a good man who win ask you to
marry him, It is far better to remain
single
1T is better to be lonesome and an
old maid than to be heart-broken and
wife"
The head of the child nodded sleepily
She placed the sleepy little body on
her shoulder and. bidding me good night,
took the little one to led.

HONEYMOON BEGINS
FOR TWO SISTERS
Mrs. Hattie Scattergood
Gives Two Daughters at
Double Wedding.

A double wedding party filed merrily
into the Union Station this morning; the
same mother waved "a "good-luck' fare
well TO two youthful brides; two sons
in-law looked radiant, but bashful and
a double honeymoon that will be spent
IN Michigan and Indiana had begun
Mrs. Hattie Scattergood, of 603 Penn
sylvania avenue southeast, was the
mother who asked the utterly super
fuOus question, inquiring if the newly
weds were happy. Her seventeen-year-
old daughter. Grace, now Mrs. Charles
Is. Mclaughlin, and her sixteen-year-
old daughter. Carrie. now Mrs. Reuben
BERGMAN, shook of a few particles of
rice and agreed that perfect happiness
reigned.
Yes, They Are Happy.
The sOns-in-laW. already described as
radiant and bashfuI, looked expectantIy
toward the car-shed and Ionged for a
tete-a-tete. Yes. they were happy. too.
= sIEverybody voted Mrs. Scattergood a
most generous mother, for its seldom
that two young daughters are whisked
iron under the parental roof in such
romantic fashion as upon the occasion
referred 70.
Miss Carrie and her seventeen-year-
old sister were married last evening in

Naval Medical Hospital, Twenty fourth
and Il streets. There have not been
many evenings when they have been on
leave" during the last few months
that they have not been callers at the
ScattergoCd home.
But, while both accept the fact that
the other was seriously contemplating
matrimOnY, they did not take each
other into their condolences until little
over two weeks ago. Leaving the Scat
terg0Od home together, both rode to the
hospital on the same car.
Great Minds Run, Etc.
"Rube old boy" said Mclaughlin,
