BUFFALO MAN ON TRIAL
TODAY ON CHARGE OF MUIR
DERING MOTHER FOR MONEY
(By United Press Association.

Buffalo, n. Y, April III. Edward
Teiper, prominent young business man
of Orchard Park, was placed on trial
before Justice Brown at the opening
of the criminal term of the Supreme
Court here today, charged with the
murder Of his mother, wealthy wild
ow. The crime was committed at mid
night January 30th, while the mother,
Mrs. Agnes M. Teiper, her son Fred
Ierick and daughter Grace, were return
ing to Buffalo in their automobile af-
in Orchard Park. Ed. Teiper accom-
panied the party a few miles down the
country road to a point where his own
automobile had been stalled and aban-
doned late that day. While working
on his own machine under the glare
of the headlights of the city-bound
motor car, Teiper claims, negro ban
dit appeared suddenly and knocked
him senseless with blow on the head.
When he recovered consciousness,
Teiper swears, he found his mother
and brother dead, their skulls crushed
Teiper's sister Grace was still alive,
although suffering from five separate
fractures of the skull. Miss Teiper
has recovered and has been pronounc-
ed surgically cured. She is under
$4,000 bond to appear as a witness
against her brother, .but physicians
believe she will never be able to recall
any of the incidents connected with
the tragedy. However, much interest
centers on her appearance in court. IF
her memory should suddenly become
clear to the occurances of the mid
night automobile ride the destiny of
her brother probably is in her posses
sion. The prosecution will make every
effort to fasten the crime of matricide
upon the accused. 1t has woven
chain Of evidence, mostly circumstan-
tial, around Teiper and expects to
prove the murders were planned and
executed by him. District Attorney
Dudley claims Teiper was in financial
straits; that mortgages and notes held
against him totaled over $4,000. Tel
per's mother held $15O,O0O left by the
father to be divided upon her death a.
mong the remaining children. Teiper
today appeared cheerful and confident
of acquittal. He is % years old, col
lege graduate and a man of intelli-
gence. Up to the time of his arrest
he lived with his wife and three small
children in handsome home at Or
chard Park.

PASSOVER
One of the Nose Ancient Festivals
Observed.

Milwaukee, Wis, April II. = The
feast of the Passover will be observed
by the Jews Of Milwaukee with ser
vices in the temples and their homes,

The Passover is one of the most an
cient festivals observed by the Jews.

Among some Of the symbolisms US
ed in the service in the homes are the
bitter herbs, recalling the hard labors
of the Israelites slaves; the unleaven-
ed bread known as the dread of attic
tion," symbolizing the hasty depart
ure from Egypt; the roasted bone call
ing to mind the paschal lamb Of the
first Passover; the mixture Of the graf
ed apple, nuts and wine, suggesting
the clay from which bricks were made
by the enslaved people and the parsley
and salt water, symbohcal Of the
growth and freshness of spring.
The Haggadah read at the domestic
service tells of the Exodus from E
gypt and of the oppression which the
ancient Israelites endured 1t is Gus
tomary to remove all Ieaven from the
house in preparation for the celebra-
ton of the feast.

THE ESQ
?. N. FIRE
From MONDAYS Daily.

1O4i 4hOIIicAy . Dolly.
The fire alarm at 2.35 p. m. was
from Ted Johnson's saloon and was
caused by sparks from the chimney
setting fire to the roof. A small hole
was burned through the roof.
This was the second fire today caus-
ed by sparks flying from a chimney.
The wind developed a strong draft in
all chimneys and this is probably the
reason that live Goals were drawn up
and fell on the roofs.
