The Startling: Statement Made by Carl Felgrenbaum's Counsel. A REPUTABLE LAWYER'S BELIEF. Thinks tho Man Electrocuted for Murder at Sing Sing Yesterday Was None Other Than the Fiend Who Terrorized the Whltechapel District of London. SlSO S1NO. N. Y.. April 28.-Cnrl Fctg- enbaum, alias Anton Latin, who mur dered Mrs. Johanna Hoffman In Now York on Sept. 1, 1S01, was oxecuted by electrlelty In tho state penitentiary liero yesterday. Foigonbaum protested hla In- nooence to the last. New Youk, April 28. Tho Advertiser this morning publishes the following: "I bellovo that Carl Folgenbnum, whom you have Just soon put to doath in the eleotrlo chair, can easily be oonneetod with tho Jack tho Hlppor murders in Whltechapel, London. " Foigonbaum was electrocuted yesterday in Sing Slug prison, and this statement was mado by his counsel, William S. Law ton. Heforo snoaklng the lawyer explained that ho rovenled tho soorot of tho dond bo causo ho felt it to bo his duty to sclonco nnd to law. Lawyer Lawton then began tho recital of a story on which ho said ho based his belief that Felgonuaum had been guilty of perhaps a dozon butcherlos. 'One nlcht I stnyod with him lor over two hours," ho said, "and ho told mo that for years ho hod been the victim of a malady, a dlsonso that porlodlcolly preyed upon him, and which forcod him In splto of himself to satisfy on Incarnnto lovo no had for woman by murdorlng and muti lating her. I wna so startled that for tho moment I did not know what to do. 'Then tho Jack tho Hlppor butehorlos ocourred to mo, and I began to search Foigonbaum s record. I learned tnat no was In Wisconsin nt tho time tho country was startled by the uows of tho murder and mutllaMon of sovernl women there. Then I communicated with London and dlscovered.that Feigoubaum was also thero whon so many fallen women fell victims to tho knifo of somo mysterious assassin. I questioned Foigonbaum closely, and found that ho could converso with intolll eenco on surgory and dissection, but whon asked if ho know anything about these subjects ho would folgn an lguorauco tnat was unnatural." Other points odvoncod by Lawyer Law ton wero: First, that tho knifo with which he killed Mrs. Hoffman was f ouud to have on It old uloou stains. Again, Demon- bauin wus known to have used many aliases, but only in dtfforent towns. Ab a matter of fact, his real uamo Is Karl Zahn, and ho nover would explain why ho had changed It. "Tho man was n dovil," conoludod Mr. Lawton. "His motive for tho crlmo was his frightful desiro for mutilation." Twin liable Stolen. Eliot, Wis., April 23.
