Murder Mystery Is Cleared.

The mystery surrounding the IA
tai attack made upon Miss Luella d.
Marshall on the outskirts of Trenton,
n. j., on the evening OF Dec. 3 was
suddenly cleared up when William
Atzenhafer. thirty years old. confessed
the crime after he had been placed In
the power OF the police by Miss Ida
Capen. trained nurse. and DR. Jo-
seph G. Denelsbeck. a physician. both
of Trenton.
This unexpected turn In this now
famous crime startled the police and
the people OF Trenton. The confession
came when all hope of solving the
mystery had disappeared and while
the police authorities OF Mercer coun.
~ were discussing theories and mo-
tives for the assault
The first intimation that Atzenhafer
was connected with the crime came to
Miss Capen. whose suspicious were
aroused by the mans eagerness to OBJ
tain information from newspapers re.
garding Miss Marshalls condition be.
fore her death and the movements Of
the police afterward
Atzenhafer told Prosecutor William
J. Crossley. of Mercer county. that he
attacked Miss Marshall. but declared
he mistook her for another person and
that he did not intend to kill her.
When questioned as to whom he
thought he was attacking. Atzenhafer
said he had no reason TO attack any
one. Further questioning brought from
Atzenhafer the fact that the attack
was made with the two and a half
foot length Of pipe found by the side
OF Miss Marshall's unconscious form
the night of the crime.
Atzenhafer said he got the pipe from
the rear of two houses in course OF
construction near the scene OF the
crime. He added that after he struck
Miss Marshall he dragged her body
across the road. through n barbed wire
fence and left her unconscious in the
field upon the approach OF two men.
