threatening Mrs. Anna Kohler, who
owns the Continental hotel in Hobo

her about three months ago on his
FIRST trip to this country. Mrs. Kohler
is comely. and on the second call he
made he proposed that she elope
with him and leave her husband be-
hind. giving him the hotel to console
him.
He said that II she would go back
to Germany she would not have to
work around any hotel Life would
be one grand romance. The youth
continued his love moking. but chose
the mails to aid him. A week ago Mrs
koehler told the police he wrote a
letter threatening to kill her If she
did not elope. He followed this with
ing he could not live without her, and
that as he had to die, she must die
too.
The police told her to make an ap-
pointment with Mathes, and she did
so. He failed to keep the appoint.
ment, but half an hour later the po-
lice found him near Mrs. Koehler S
home and arrested him.
