Louisville, Jan. 10-John H.
Mueller, the deaf mute printer
charged by the police with the
murder of Miss Rebecca Loveall,
herself a partial deaf mute, was
released in police court today on
$1,000 bail. Muller's account of
his movements from the time the
girl was last seen until the body
was found, apparently moved the
police to interpose no objection
to his application for bail. The
case is thus apparently rapidly
moving toward its former tsatus
