bodies were found in the ruins OF the
house. which had been set on fire by the
slayers.
The motive for the murder Of the
couple. who were popular In Milwaukee
social circles. is a mystery, though rob-
berry Is suggested by the fact that they
were known to be wealthy.
Not a trace Of the slayers or clue
Of any kind has been found. The Muel.
lers were alone at their place without
servants. and no one saw the fire until
the house was destroyed. Neighbors
found the ruins of the house. and later
took from the ashes the two charred
bodies.
The Mueller home was nearly fifteen
miles from the nearest town, on the
shore Of Lake Puckaway. 1t is believed
that the home was burned some time
during the night.
