AS COLoRAOOAN CHARGED
Latter Says He Will Con tinue to Inquire How "Friar Lands" in Philip pines Passed Into Posses sion of Trust

Washington. March 2S.-The charge preferred on the floor of the house on Friday by Mir. Martin. democrat. of Colorado. that "a former attorney of the sugar trust is now at the head of the department of justice. brought forth letter of denial from Attorney Wick ersham, addressed to Mir. Bennett of New York. and was read into the house record today
 IL says: "I never was an attorney for the sugar trust-by which understand is meant the American Sugar Refining company and its allied or subsidiary corporations-nor have had any pro- fcSsional or business relations with it.
 MT. Martin announced that he would carry the charges to a definite cOnclu- sion. He has a resolution pending for an investigation of the acquisition of the "Friar lands" in the Philippines in the Havemeyer interests.
 The attorney general said Mir. Martin. carefully avoided making denial of the principal feature of the charges. that his decision gave the sugar trust 55.000 acres of the ''friar lands for less than the government paid for it. despite the fact that the law plainly limits the sale to 2.500 acres to any person or company.
 Mir. Wickersham says a partner. whom I understand was Henry Taft, a brother of the president. was an at torney for the trust. That form of de- nial will not carry weight. intend to prosecute my efforts to expose what believe was a gigantic grab of 'friar lands by the sugar trust, aided by an unwarranted decision by the attorney general

March .S-Spurred bv the discovery that Ruth Wheeler. the girl victim of the sensational murder uncovered here Saturday. who was probably Smothered and stuffed while unconscious into the fireplace of AL bert Wolter's apartment. and there burned to death. the police today con- tinued the task of trying to develop the real motive for the crime.
 Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon de clsred after an autopsy today that traces of soot in the nostrils and lungs convinced him that Miss Wheeler was still living when her body vas set on fire.
 Hours of questioning have failed to shake young Wolter in his declar- ation that he never had seen the Wheeler girl and knew nothing of her death.
 But fresh trail has been struck in the story of q young woman. who confessed 10 knowing Wolter well. She told the police of many young women who had been associated with Wolter. and this has set the author ities to looking up numerous girls whose addresses were found in Vol ter's notebook
 Under a merciless sruelling today Katie Mueller. who lived with Vol ter. as his wife, gave the police q startling admission that will lay bare to the world the story of the Wheeler girls death.
 In her testimony. the police say. she told of the night Ruth Wheeler was first missed and said that she was asleep at 9 o'clock on that even ing.
 About midnight" the police report of her testimony quotes her. T was awakened by crash from the front room. I called out. Who's there" and Albert answered from the front room. saying. Part of the fire place has fallen down and I am fixing it. You stay in bed
 About , o'clock I was awakened by another noise of something falling. Albert was on his snees before the fireplace shoveling something with his hands back into the grate.
 T said Can't I help yOu?' and started toward him. He said roughly. Go back to bed and stay there or I'll choke you to death.|
 Inspector McCafferty of the detec- tive bureau said this afternoon. Our case is practically complete. We will prove this poor girl went to seek work from Wolter: that he attacked her, that she fought and that he chokcd her until she was uncon- scious Then the most horrible of all happened when he burned her to death while she was still alive though unconscious"
