Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-03-29

on this assumption he has borne up
in a manner which astounded the
police.
But the night in the Tombs, with
guards occasionally questioning him,
had the young fellow in physically
and nervously unsteady condition.
His face and manner has betrayed
much agitation since he received a
note from Katchen Muller, his COM
panion, who is confined in the House
of Detention. To many who saw
him it seemed as though the note
broke him down more than the
third degrees" applied during the
day, but 1t may have been that, COM
ing at a moment when Wolters yerg-
ed on hysteria, the letter unnerved
him with the thought that one per-
son loved him-Katie Muller.
While Wolter was being grilled by
Inspector Titus a note was brought to
the Tombs prison from Katie Muller
for Wolter Inspector Titus handed
the note to Wolter. who kissed the
missive passionately. then read IT
through, with hysterical outbursts
''Oh, my God" he sobbed as he finish
ed reading the letter, "she loves me
stilIr' =
Then why not~teIl the truth and
save herY' asked the inspector.
Il will write her." was the sobbing
reply. when / get an answer from
her saying she forgives me I'll tell the
truth"
And with that the police had to be
content. Not another word would VOL
ter say except to add: Come see me
tomorrow. i shall. have her answer
by that time. Then / will confess all.
Then, turning to Inspector Titus, who
had been very gentle with him
throughout all the questioning, VOL
ter said, What 1 tell l will tell to you
alone"
Share In White Slave Trade.
Later developments strengthen the
police in the belief that Wolter had
something to do with the white slave
trade.
This belief of the detectives is
strengthened by the finding of post
! cards that Wolter addressed to num-
Der OF young women.
David Goldstein positively identified
| Wolter as the man who was walking
with his daughter Annie few days
| before she disappeared on New Years
eve, and he declares that Wolter was
responsible for Annie's disappearance.
Three Girls Accuse Him.
The police have found other girls
whose testimony is going to establish
pretty conclusively the truth of Mary
Weisman's assertions that Wolter was
| concerned in the white slave" traffic
-as cadet"
Three girls were found in Eliza
beth, n. j., where Wolter once work
ed, who told of their own dealings
| with him and of his activity among
girls in that town.
Wolter win find it hard to deny his
acquaintance with the girls. Their
names appear with that of Ruth
Wheeler in the list of names Of girls
which was found beside the fireplace
where the body of Ruth Wheeler had
been burned.
Umbrella Found In Room.
Still another link in the chain of
circumstantial evidence against Wolter
was added when the police found Ruth
Wheeler's umbrella in VOTERS room.
This umbrella was identified by the
murdered girls mother and sister, who
said that Ruth had the umbrella when
she left home last Thursday. Katie
Muller said that 1t was one of three
that she found in the closet when, in
accordance with VOTERS order, she
moved their few belongings One UNI
brella was VOTERS, she said, one her
own, and the other was unknown to
her. But finding it in the closet, she
took it along.
Another find that strengthens the po-
lice in their belief that the dead girl
was burned in the open fireplace was
the discovery of brick in the hearth
to which were adhering a piece of
burned flesh and bit of ribbed un-
derwear This underwear was like
that worn by the dead girl. Two tow
els partly burned also came to light
Likewise Wolter admitted that the
shirt found wrapped up on the fire es-
cape was his. This shirt was in q
separate package under the body.
