WOMAN ON STAND
TELLS OF HEARING
MUELLER BABBLE
Mrs. Henry Werpup, Damaging
Witness Against Man Ac-
cused of Wife Murder.

Having testified that she was pres
ent when Otto Mueller, alias Frederick
Gebhardt, confessed to the murder Of
the Newark girl with whom he con-
tracted a bigamous marriage two
months before she was found slain In
the Islip woods, Long Island, Mrs.
Henry Werpup, of 1879 South Sixth
street. this city, was again an inter-
ested spectator when the trial of Muel-
Ter was esumed today at Rlverhead,
l.. l.
Mrs. Werpup proved one of the most
damaging witnesses hat has appeared
against the man who Is on trial for the
murder Of his bride, Her husband was
also a witness. telling OF the marriage
Of Mueller n Anna Luther, the dead
woman, at his home, where Mueller
represented himself as G%ebhardt, an
unmarried architect.
Lived in Newark.
Another witness was Mrs. TIllie
| BADGE, who now lives in Passaic, but
who formerly resided in Newark. She
testified that Anna Luther had four
trunks at witnesses home when the
witness lived in Newark, and that on
April :, 1908, Anna Luther n a mar
she knew as Otto Mueller came to her
home and asked her to ship the trunks
to Hoboken. This she did. Mrs. BADGE
has weak eyesight and wears moked
glasses. When she was asked whether
she saw in the courtroom the man
who had come to her home in Newark
with Anna Luther she arose from the
witness chain and walking forward
she peered into the faces of those sit
ting on the front seats in the court
room. When she came to Gebhardt she
pointed at him and said that he was
the man who had been at her home
with Anna Luther. The prisoner did
not appear to be shaken by the iden-
LITIGATION and retained his composure.
Christopher Rossow, who is an ex-
pressman in Hoboken, was next called
to the stand. He testified that Geb-
hardt, under the name of Mueller, had
engaged him to take the four trunks
shipped from Newark to Astoria and
that Gebhardt went along TO show him
the way. When they got to the
prisoners house the witness saw a
woman standing on the porch.
Here Mrs. Gebhardt was asked to
come forward in order that the witness
might identify her if she was the wom-
an he saw on the porch. Mrs. Gebhardt
advanced with her baby in her arms
and stood directly in front of the pris-
oner. AS she came forward Gebhardt's
face iushed and his eyes fell. 1t was
the first time that he had appeared to
notice the presence of his wife since
the opening of the trial. Rossow
promptly identified Mrs. Gebhardt as
the woman he had seen at the Astoria
house. The prosecution is trying to
show that Anna Luther was dead when
the four trunks were brought to Geb-
hardt's home in Astoria.
