TELLS OF CRIME
Farm Hand Reveals GULL
While DeliriOus With Fever.
Victim Thought to Be Someone
Else, He Says.

Trenton, Jan. 2-Revealing his guilt
in the delirium of illness, while detec-
tives listened to his disconnected talk
through holes bored in the wall of his
sick room, William Alzenholfer caused
his own arrest for the killing of Miss
Luella Marshall on December ga deed
that stirred the entire city, sent angry
posses searching the whole surround
ing country, and yet was covered,
seemingly forever. in mystery.
Alzenholfer is % years old, farm
hand, who was employed by a dairy
man near this city UP to a day or two
before the Marshall tragedy.
His confession had not been made
public, but it is known that the man
pretended he had mistaken Miss Mar
shall for another woman.
Re-enact the Crime.
After his arrest, he was taken to
the prosecutors Office where he made
his statement. He was then taken in
an automobile to the spot on the lonely
road where Miss Marshall had been
struck down.
Seemingly without hesitancy or fear,
the man reenacted in pantomime the
entire scene. The officials were amaz-
ed by his GOODNESS.
He was then taken over the fence
through which he had dragged the
body of his victim, and he pointed out
the spot where he left her dead. He
denied any deed but murder.
Delirious From Fever.
Alzenholfer has been living in an
apartment at Warren and Hanover
street. Recently he became seriously
ill, and two days ago became delirious
from fever.
In his rawlings he described the crime
mentioned persons and places that
led the attending nurse to believe
there was truth in his involuntary out
cries.
She informed DR.. Joseph G. Denels-
book, who was attending the sick man.
The physician notified the county au-
thorities and detectives were sent out
on the case. They caused holes to be
made in the wall of Alzenholfer's room.
While DR.. Denelsbock drew from his
patient the story of the killing, the
officers listened and took down all he
said.
To Prosecutor Clossley the prisoner
made many statements experimenting
the confession which the detectives ov-
erheard.
Insists Upon a Mistake.
But he did not admit that he had
mistreated the woman He insisted
that he thought she was some one else.
The name of the intended victim and
the reason of his wish to harm her
have not been made public.
The Marshall case was most baf-
fling one. Miss Marshall, 80 years old,
of No. S1S Pennington avenue, had
been out in the country on a visit. On
her way home she had reached a de-
serted spot on the road not far from
the Odd Fellows home, when she was
struck down and her body carried into
the field necr by.
The means of the injured woman
were heard and she was hurried to
Mercer hospital, where she remained
alive for nine days. She never regain
ed consciousness, but once murmured
the word negro Several negroes
were arrested, but soon freed. Alzholfer
himself was arrested at the time but
no evidence could be found against
him.

The Governor does not turn his
county fair visits into political trips,

the same
Everywhere he has been so far he
finds the people either very much in
favor of the new law, or most willing
to see it tried out intelligently for
results. He finds, moreover, that
such misapprehension as exists to-
ward the law generally is easily re-
moved when its workings are eX-
planned
1t is A noteworthy fact that the
newspapers of the State are almost
solidly backing the new law, and in
that connection il is interesting to
observe how many Of them are bring
ing the question right home TO their
immediate constituents.
For instance, The LawrenCeVille
News Herald in a recent Issue said:
Right here in Gwinnett County
there are $1,000 acres that are not
accounted for on the tax digest
which are worth over $500, 900
Is 1t right for the other tax
payers to carry all the burden of
taxation for these delinquents?
No man who understands the
aims and purposes OF this new
law and what it will accomplish
If properly enforced has any
ground for dissatisfaction, unless
he be an outrageous ''dodger" and
wishes his neighbor to pay hls
just taxes for him!
Many other newspapers in Geor-
gia are bringing this matter right
home to their readers, and the result
is being seen plainly enough in a bet
ter understanding of the new law, its
justice and necessity.
