THE BRASS RING.

Anna Holman, fifty years old and
with the face and manners Of a Gypsy,
lived In a rented house In the out
skirts of Augsburg. Anna moved in a
mysterious way and her neighbors
didn't know what to make of her.
She was always asking charity, for one
thing. yet II was generally believed
that she had saved large sum Of
money and had II hidden away some
where.
The house she occupied was larger
than she needed, so she furnished a
large room and took two dodgers,
young men named George Rauschmaier
and Joseph Steiner.
1t was in April, 1921, that the neigh
bors began to wonder where Anna
was. 1t occurred to them suddenly
that they hadn't seen her for two
weeks. Inquiry revealed the fact that
George and Joseph had changed their
lodgings, and they were hunted up and
questioned. They had no idea where
the woman was, they said. She had

Rauschniaier stifi lived In town and he
was arrested at once, although there
was no other reason for connecting
he was living In the house when the
woman disappeared. He was not at
all disturbed by his arrest. In fact, be-
ing possessed of sense of humor, he
seemed much amused, and remarked
that the stupidity of the police was
ridiculous. He was taken to the
morgue and shown the remains of the
woman, and muttered some words of
sorrow and sympathy. Not by the
CULVER of an eyelash did he show any
symptom of guilt or uneasiness. The
officers who accompanied him on this
grisly errand were convinced that he
was innocent.
He was examined over and over by
the magistrate, and he never varied
from his original story. except that he
admitted having stolen several small
articles before leaving the womans
house. He was desperately hard up at
the time, was his excuse.

tied by any manner Of questioning.
So the magistrate said: 81 believe
you are guilty, but 1t seems impossible
TO prove 1t, so / suppose you must be
turned loose, but for the present the
court will retain these articles of
yours"
The articles were certain cheap
pieces Of jewelry which had been
found In Rauschmaier's room after his
arrest. Among them the magistrate
had placed the brass ring.
George protested at once against
this injustice. The articles were his
own, and the court had no right to
keep them. He made great fuss, and
the magistrate looked embarrassed and
dubious.
"You are positive these things are
your own?" he inquired, indifferently.
Absolutely" replied George.
THAT brass ring, for instanceT
ut is mine. l wore 1t for years."
George slipped 1t on his finger, which
1t fitted loosely.
"You have confessed I" said the mag
istrate, sternly.

badgering had failed to accomplish,
He broke down and made a full con-
fession.
He had faith In the stories that
Anna Holman was rich, and had a
large sum Of money concealed In her
house. He watched her for a long
time, and finally concluded that she
kept her money In strong chest which
was always carefully locked. His orig
inal idea was merely to steal the
money, but he concluded after time
that this couldn't be done without re-
moving the woman. So he waited for
an opportunity.
One day Steiner went out to be
gone considerable time, and Rausch-
He stepped up behind the poor woman
and placed his big muscular hands
about her neck. She was small and
weak, and died In his hands with but
little struggle. Then he carried the
body to the garnet and dfsmembered
they had been found. The head he
threw into the canal. That head had
been found by farmer shortly after
the crime, but he threw it back into
the canal, fearing II would get him
into trouble.
Having committed one of the most
cold-blooded murders ever recorded In
criminal history, Rauschmaier went to
the chest to get his reward. The only
valuables in the chest were eight
kreutzers. So he had done his hideOus
work for few coppers.
Steiner was found and testified for
the prosecution and Rauschmaier was
convicted. He was sentenced TO stand
in the pUlory for several hours, and
then TO have his head cut, of with a
sword, Appeals of clemency were
made so the court generously remit
ted the pillory sentence, and nothing
more serious than decapltation hap
pened to him.
The probability is that the crime
would never have been brought home
to. him but for that worthless brass
ring. t"., =. t.

 FOR CONVENT GIRL

Special to Gateway by United Pressj
 GARDEN CITY, l.. l., June B. Love for the convent girl he met fin Paris caused Robert Breckenridge Steele of New York and Louisville to abandon his career as an army officer and become a New York business man.

WIDENER PAYS $sOO,OOO
 FOR MORGAN TAPESTRIES

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 NEW YORK, June 1.-Eight hun dred thousand dollars in cash was paid to P. w. French & Co.,, here to- day by Joseph E. Widener of Phila- delphia for two pieces of cloth, neither of them very large.
 For one Mr. Widener paid S6OO,OOO and for the other S2OOOOO.
 They wer6~two of the $2,OOO,OOO collection of rare tapestries, gathered together from the four corners of the earth by the late J. Pierpont Morgan and sold after his death by his son J. P. Morgan
 The Tapestries were today remov- ed from their places in the MetrOpol- tan Museum and delivered to Mir Widener, who took them to his Phila- delphia home.
 The Mazarin tapestry is one of the greatest works of its kind extant and some authorities have written that il is without peer in the whole world of art
 It was owned by Cardinal Mazarin who guided the government of France during the minority of Louis XIV and hence it is always identified by his name.
 It is one of those splendid picture cloths which are associated with the golden age of tapestry. It was woven about the year 1900. It. foundation is silk and wool and it i. rich in thread of silver and gold.

NEWS NOTES

Kelly Oleson has been in the city some days from Kenai river. Con- ditions on the river were unfavOrable this spring for mining.
 M. Musgrave, who suffered from stroke of paralysis and is now in the hospital, has progressed so much that he can understand a person reading newspaper to him. He has spent several days trying to write a name on a paper. He is still unable to talk.
 John Brannen, formerly chief of police of Nome and father of Jimmie Brannen who recently discovered pay on Lewis river, died about ten days ago at Seattle. At the time of his death he was inspector in the water department of Seattle. His daughter is the wife of the district court clerk of Nome.
 In copy of the Valdez paper which arrived yesterday the information was given that Admiral Sir James Beattie was lost in the battle of Jut- land. It is hardly likely, however, that if this were the truth the United Press would omit the fact since it gave the names of lesser officers who were lost Another account says the value of the British vessels lost was one hundred and seventeen million dollars.
