MURDER TRIAL
IN MONMOUTH
Dramatic Scene in the
Court Room.

Freehold, \. j., April 1S.-Probably
the most dramatic opening of a muir
der trial in the history of New Jersey
was that which began here In the
court of oyer and terminer when
Frank E. Heidemann, a young florists
assistant, pleaded not guilty to a
charge Of having killed Marie Smith.
Asbury Park, Nov. 8 last. The prose-
cutor asserts that Heidemann thrice
confessed to the crime of which he Is
accused.
When the Indictment was read by
Prosecutor Apologize charging Heide-
mann, with his elbows on the table,
covered his face with his handkerchief
and both hands and cried audibly.
The name of the defective who for
four months was the companion of
Heidemann seeking to secure q con
were barred by the prosecutor. Charles
Neumeister, an educated German, was
imported for the job. He made Heide-
mann's acquaintance and remained
with him day and night until his ar
rest on a train at Red Bank March 10.
Neumeister told Heidemann he had
come to claim an inheritance and that
he would return as soon as he secured
1t, as be was wanted for a robbery at
Canton, o., and for blowing up the
Vfndicator and Independence mines In
the west and killing fourteen men.
Neumeister in the meanwhile was not
supposed to know Of the Asbury Park
murder, 80 an article was inserted in
the Stats Zeitung describing the
crime and saying that Hetdemann was
wanted. Through this Neumeister let
Heidemann know he was acquainted
with the fact that he was a fugitive.
To convince Heidemann that he was
really a bad man Neumeister, while at
Yonkers, arranged a fake murder,
shooting down an italian laborer who
stopped him while out driving In the
presence Of Heidemann on Feb. %.
From Yonkers the two went to Cam
den and Philadelphia, and here Neu-
meister received a letter from another
detective advising him to shake
Heidemann for fear he would inform
the police on him. Neumeister and
Heidemann met this detective at At
lantic City, and here Heidemann, who
wanted to accompany the detective on
a projected trip to Honduras, Is alleged
to have told of the crimes be had com
mitted, including the murder Of Marie
Smith.
