didn’t look at her, and don't remember
whether I shot her more than once.
“Immediately after I went to the
Islip depot and took a train for home.
It was nearly dark. On the way home
on the train I threw the revolver out
of the car window.
“I want to state that I didn’t kill
Anna Luther for her money, as the
newspapers have stated. My original
reason for marrying Anna was that I
didn’t care to live with my first wife
any longer, but as she—my first wife—
had given me a child, my desire to see
again my child caused me to want to
get rid of Anna Luther and return to
my first wife’s child.
“This is the reason why I shot Anna
Luther, and I told her in Bayshore
that I was married and had a wife and
child and must leave her.
“She screamed and ran after me,
and kissed me and wanted me back,
and 1 shot her.”
Seemed to Be “Money Mad.”
For just a little more than a year
and a half from the Sunday that
Mueller shot Annie Luther, he and his
wife, Annie Merger, and their two
children, Annie, three years old, and
Fred, who is about a year old, have
lived in the story and a half frame
house in Astoria. Nothing seemed to
bother Mueller—or Gebhardt, as his
wife knew him—except that he seemed
to be “money mad,” and he showed
much concern about his two Airdale
terriers, which were his undoing, for
it was a Jersey express driver's story
about the two dogs that led to Muel
ler's arrest.
Al this time Mrs. Mueller—or Geb
hardt—was wearing well made clothes
with the initials “A. L.” embroidered
on them, and the same initials were
on the bedclothing and table linen.
The same “A. 1.” was engraved upon
the watch which lay beside the skele
ton down on Long Isiand all this time.
Mueller had got all this stock of wear-
ing apparel and bed linen, he told his
wife, at an auction sale of trunks and
other baggage in Hamburg. The ex:
planation seemed to satisfy the wife.
She asked no more questions. She did
admit, however, that she had been
afraid of Mueller of late, or since a
woman friend from Manhattan came to
her recently and told her stories about
former wives. The
name was Mueller and
that he h coven wives, who are
all wow dead. The friend added a
he refused to marry her, and she swore |
he had outraged her for revenge.
Her confession has caused a great
sensation and caused so much bitter |
ness against the Elrods that they have ;
left the county.
Ten-Year-Old Boy Kills Big Bear.
Dorman Long, a ten-year-old boy,
of Sweet Valley, near Wilkes-Barre,
Pa., while out hunting with his father,
shot and killed a large black bear un-
der circumstances that would have
shaken the nerve of an experienced
hunter.
. The bear, which was wounded by
two charges of light birdshot from the
father’s shotgun, had run into heavy
underbrush, and there the boy, run
ning ahead of his father, bravely fol
lowed it and shot it again. It fell and,
believing it was dead, he rushed upon
it, only to find it springing up and
turning upon him, whereupon he gave
it the second barrel at the distance of
a few feet and killed it.
