Widow Says Sons
Staying II Case Of
Mistaken Identity
Mother Of Martin Murray,
Shot ON Street Corner, AS
serts Glnmen Twice Took
Him for Another Man

Police yesterday were unable TO un-
earth any motive for the mysterious
shooting of twenty-year old Martin
Murray early Sunday morning, hut his
mother, with whom he lived, believes
he was killed because he was mistaken
for some underworld character.
Martin has come nome before and
told me Of man having pulled a gun
on him. she said when he turned
around and the mar saw his face he
begged Martins pardon and said that
This happened TWICE and both times he
was very frightened. though he later
passed it off az a joke. l can think
Of no other possible reason for the
murder.
"He never mixed In gangs or their
troubles and was just big, good
natured boy. He had no enemies that
we know of and certainly had done
nothing to make anyone want to kill
him."
Murray, an ox-seryfee man, lived
with his widowed mother and SIX
brothers and sisters at 507 East Eighty
seventh Street He was shos and killed
early Sunday morning MS he stood talk
Ing to some friends at Eighty-sixth
Street and Third Avenue.
only one shot was nred, according
to Henry Marino, of 1884 First Avenue,
who was talking to him at the time
and took Murray TO the hospital, where
he died before regaining consciousness.
After the shot Murray crumpied to
the ground and the assassins, apparently
satisfied, made no further attempt to
molest any of us" he said.
Detective John Sheehan, who heard
the shot, rushed to the scene and
captured two fleeing men after chase.
They are Walter Dressler, Of 237 East
Eighty-seventh Street, and Robert
(Whitey) Wier, of 1859 Teller Avenue.
They were arraigned before Magistrate
Peter A. Hating in Harlem court and
held without bail fer examination to-

and handsomest at this resort. contain
ing about forty-ffve rooms and numer-
Gus baths. It wac valued at 100000.
The day was cold and FIRE of light
wood had been built in the fireplace in
the living room. A defective flue and
large sparks alighting on the roof set
fire 60 the villa. Before the family
became aware Of the flames they had
gained tremendous headway. The house
and costly furnishings were destroyed.

Bishop Herbert Shipman and Mrs.
Shipman, daughter of the Edison Brad

at Arcadia were saved, and several
thousand dollars in jewels were lost.
Only the servants of the Bradleys
were at hand TO help fight the fire, and
with high winds the loss was complete.

EXAMINING TRIAL
OF MRS. SOlSTER TO
Be HELD MONDAY
Witnesses Are Summoned to Appear
Before Lewis County Magistrate to-
Testify in Examination Of Ma
son County Woman.

An examining trial will be given
Mrs. Nancy A. Soister, mother of Mrs.
Dewey Sweet, who is charged with the
death Of an infant born to Mrs. Sweet,
the body of which infant was found in
a deserted we'll on farm in the Trim
ity neigbborhood two weeks ago.
Sheriff C. NJ. Devore went to the
Springdale neighborhood Saturday
morning to summons witnesses to ap-
pear before Squire Q. v. Truesdell at
Hoop School House at Trinity on Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock for the ex-
animation.
Evidence in this examination Is ex-
pected to bring to light the truth or
falsity of he very serious charge
against the Springdale wnpan, who is
charged with permitting. by neglect,
the death Of an infant born to her
daughter, then unmarried. 1t is un-
1erstood that the Commonwealth will
endeavor to go into all phases Of the
case very thoroughly in an attempt to
learn who is responsible for the baby's
death and who placed its little body,
wrapped in an cid sack, in the we'll on
the farm where the Soister family for
merly lived.
Officials say that the father, Tom
Soister, knew about the babys body be-
ing in the we'll for when he sold the
farm upon which the we'll was located
he Informed the purchaser that the
well water was unfit for drinking and
on several occasions warned him
about using the old well.
Both Mr.. Soister and his son-in-law,
Dewey Sweet, were in Maysville Sat-
urday to obtain counsel to defend the
case. Members of the family contend
that the charge is "frame-up" by
neighbors and that they will be en-
abled to prove their innocence while
the officials believe, beyond a doubt,
they have solved the mystery Of the
Sabe-in-the-well.

GERMAN foreign
Minister KILLED
BY AN ASSASSIN
Foreign Minister in Cabinet is Slain
By Pistol Shot Fired From
Acknowledgements
Escapes.

Berlin, June a. - Walter Rathenau,
German foreign minister, was assass-
mated today.
He was shot dead in the Gruenwald
while on his way to his Office. The
shot was fired by man in a motor
car. The assassin first hurled hand
grenade and then opened fire with a
revolver. He made a clean getaway.
Rathenau was one of the most pow
erful men in the German government.
1t was he who conducted the nego-
tiations with the Russians at Genoa
which led to the German Russian
treaty reopening trade and relations
between the two countries.
Upon his return to Berlin after the
Genoa conference ,he was criticized by
some elements for dealing with the
Soviet representatives.
Rathenau always was considered
Germany's leading expert on recon-
struction matters and war foreign
minister in the former Wirth minis
try. When this cabinet was reformed
last winter Rathenau was made acting
foreign minister.
