Police Investigate Muenter Theory

Cambridge Mass. July 4-The police tonight awaited word from the New York police regarding the possible identifica- : tion of Frank Holt, who shot J. P Nor gan, as Erich Muenter the former Har- ward Instructor, who appeared from this city after the death of his wife on April 18 1906, of alleged poisoning. Pic lures of Muenter as a full description were mailed to the New York police. Patrick F. Hurley, captain -of detec- tves, who took an active part VII the in- vestigation of the Muenter case, declares the description of Holt talles closely with that of the missing Harvard instructor should more detailed description reveal
 striking similarity between Holt and
 Muenter, Captain Hurley said that some
 one who knew Muenter would be taken
 to Glen Cove for positive identifica-
 tion.
 Until the facts concerning Holt are re-
 ceived from New York Captain Hurley
 said no official action would be taken. The police search for Muenter lasted
 for many months. Added interest was
 given to it by frequent letters sent to former friends by the missing instruc- tor.
 one communication was a long printed
 pamphlet mailed from New Orleans A chapter of it said that Muenter had talked with the soul of his wife, and an in- vestigation is said to have revealed that he and few friends in Chicago peneved they had proved a theory that the soul of a dead person could be seen to leave the body in the form of a thin violet va DOT The police attached importance to this as suggesting that Muenter possibly caused his wife's death in an experiment
 to support his theory.

 IS DISCOURAGING

Milan, July 4.-(Via Paris, 2:20 D. m Italian operations against the Austrian Notifications at Malborgeth and Predil Pass have produced encoura ging re- suits. but in view of difficulties in bringing up heavy artillery in this mountain region the Italian press warns the public not to expect too much.
 In some cases it has been necessary to construct entirely new roads up the mountains. and the guns that can be brought into action there necessarily are less powerful than the German Austrian batteries, which have been iil- stalled at leisure on concrete founda- tiOnS

 Frederick Huerney, assistant recorder of the University of Chicago, who remem- bers 'Muenter well, said there was a marked resemblance to the pictures of Holt. but that the fact that Muenter wore a beard when he was in Chicago, made positive identification impossible.

LEISHMAN MAKES A 1 PLEA FOR HARMLESS
 SUNDAY RELAXATION

awhile for further conversation, takes some of his friends home with him, where they all share the news of the neigh+ borhood, enjoy a bountiful repast, and in the afternoon the girls sing and play awhile Perhaps he and one or two cronies walk out and look at the crop a little and guess how it will turn out. Even- ing comes. supper, a few hymns, prayers and then to bed. A very pleasant and a well-spent day. But how can such man ina zine the need of any Sunday amuse- ments? He himself needs none that he hax not and which no legislature can well ins terfere with.
 Makes Temptation Stronger
 But take some young gellow in place such as Birmingham and how different he is situated. The only place he has a right to is some little bed- room in a boarding house with a view of the backs and backwards of simi- 4 lar houses. After he has gone 10 church, is he to spend the remainder of the day in contemplating such scen- cry? To be sure he can ride on the street cars or go to the library, but if l understand the Rev. l.. F. Whitten, he is opposed to these things also. However, if this young man has very limited means of innocent amusement, vice has it's snares for him Sunday as well as week days. The dreariness and weariness of an ordinary Birming- ham Sunday to a young man who is stranger here strengthens temptation to him. Of course, if we were all per fectly virtuous, as we should be, vice would have no charms. The ordinary mortal is not so. And by in1icting an empty, void and weary Sunday on him, we place needless temptation in his path from which we ourselves daily pray to be delivered. As to those who have to work on Sunday to provide others with amusement. they would be e mparatively few, and the greatest good of the greatest number would be justification for their employment. Of course, they should have week day ' off to compensate them or some other equitable arrangement could be made. Yours truly, A. E. LEISHMAN. |
