GARIAN AUTHORITIES

Webster, S. D.-Joseph Loeb,
wanted here for the purder Of John
Schiller at Andover last March, and
who was located in Germany, sue
in evading the German police,
and is still at large. He is believed to
be either in Germany of Hungary.
States Attorney Waddel and Sheriff
Garrick have received word from the
Austra-Hungarian vice counsel at st.
Paul that Loeb had been located in
that country, but had fled before he
could be unprecedented. 1t seem that
in February, Schiller wrote his par
ents at Fekstavaros, Hungary, that
he expected to return home next
fall, and that his friend John Loeb,
would accompany him. About April
l, Loeb appeared at the home Of
Schuller's parents and informed them
that he had worked with Schiller
during the winter in lumber camps,
and that they had gone together TO
st. Paul, where SCHUYLER left him, de-
parting for the west with a stranger.
A few days loaer, Schuller's parents
received word from America that
their. son had been murdered at And
over and that Loeb was probably the
murderer. The constabulary was sent
to arrest Loeb at his home, a few
miles from F~eketevaros, but Loeb
had fled. He had in his possession at
his home a total of about $5O6 in
cash, and told several conflicting
stories concerning the last time ne
saw SCHUYLER.
Schuller's body was found in a
haystack near Andover on April i.
1t had been horribly mutilatedI by
the murderer, and the only clue TO
the identity of the victim of the
murderer was a small memorandum
book, which led to the discovery that
the dead man was SCHUYLER; that he
had had on deposit in a st. Paul bank
the sum of $500, which he had
drawn on March 5, and had departed
for the west with Loeb.
