Burglary Is Only Theory
in Shooting Mystery

Frederick Rueckert. vice president OF
the White Metal Company, who was
shot by an unidentified man when he
returned to his bachelor apartment at
1927 Washington Street, Hoboken
Sunday morning, died yesterday in ST
Mary's Hospital at 8 a. m.
HIS fiancec, Miss Elsie Norrath. with
whom he had spent the evening before
the shooting, was at his bedside
Shortly thereafter, while County De-
tective Charlock was going over Rueck-
ert's apartment, thc telephone rang.
"Who is this?" woman's voice
queried.
"a detective" Charlock replied
'I'm Mae Trask," came the answer

Questioned as to when Rueckert had
broken off the engagement. the woman
at the other end of the line replied

woman refused to give her address. but

Of her statement. said:
"Open the second drawer in Mr..
Rueckerts dresser. You'll find a bust
photograph of young woman in a
straw hat, with flowers and wearing a
corsage bouquet. That's me-"
She rang off and Charlock did as she
said He found the photograph.
August Hothan, valet to Rueckert,
who was away at the time OF the shoot
ing, said he recognized it As that of a
young woman who had attended a
party Rueckert rave in his rooms.
He saw her only once, he said.
RumOrs were current yesterday that
Rueckert was killed by man who
entered his home for no other pur-
pose. Inspector Tiely, of the Hoboken
police. denies this, however, and says
he is convinced the shooting was dore
by a burglar. There is nothing in the
dead mans record, he says, that would
warrant any other theory.
The will left by Rueckert leaves the
bulk of an estate, reported to be valu-
able, to his mother in Germany and tc
Miss Vorrath. Rueckert came to this
country in 1914 and took out first
citizenship papers. When the United
States entered the war his property
was taken over by the Alien Property
Custodian. AS soon as possible after
the armistice he became a citizen and
obtained the return of his property.
