J5' i i ''I 1 s.v i Hi 3 STILL ft MYSTERY. A a InTf ttlgatlon Throws Bat Little Light Upon Ion. tier's Death, Ixcept To Show That Mike Hade Was Entitled To His Discharge From Castodj. Law and Equity Case Amicably Settled" By tne Litiganta Out of Court. List of Htw Fetitieni Filed In All the Local Tribunal Yesterday.

HOTX8, BB.IETS AST) DXCISX05. After a thorough investigation yesterday morning of the eif cumstanoea attending the killing or Anthony Locteler, Judge Thompson dimisjed Mike Bade, woo wat chaTsd with his murder. On the evidence as offered, the Judge could but do he did and thua another mystery that will probably never be probed, in recorded in the local anualft of crime. There vm tame rather pecniiar eviuence given during the trial, and the interest was intense, on account of The mysterious circumstances. Wheu the murierous knife which Lostelcr is aid to have used with such frishtful effect upon Hade was liitxodnccd, the spectators rose impulsively as one man and pressed forward to the railing to aee.

It was an ugly, long weapon that would prove exceedinttly effective in an anrry man's hand. Unite, of course, was present, but his head was one solid mam of bandages, lie looked to be in good heelUOother-wue. He bad no witnesses for his de- fense. and the dismissal took place on -the Commonwealth's testimony. Ms.

Kinney him. Irr. Miller firt described the fatal wound, and gave a history of the occurrences after he was called is Tenth and I tunes nil streets the night of October to see Losteler. He said that Losteler died from internal hemorrhage and the shock of the pisVol- shot wound. The most important evidence was that of John Brown, the grocerynian at Tenth uil IhimMniL Hv him.

it vraa proven that llde was a very dark man. He saw the first difficulty and took Hade out the way of a grocery wagon in the middle ef the street. A voice from the pavement said Stick him. Brown." Hade replied: "You stick me." The man rushed out and grappled Hade. Brown tried to separate them, but in spite of his efforts he could not.

Hade fell in the gutter, the other atop ef him. The blood flowed down in the gutter like" water and Brown's sleeves were covered. He finally held the man off while Hade staggered home. After much persuasion Brown said that he believed it was Losteler who thus attacked Hade. He knew Losteler well and the only reason he had not sworn positively at first was on account of Hade's alleged subsequent statement to Officer Kennedy that a nigger had done it." That was Brown story in fulL Mrs.

Caroline Losteler, the widow, who is' a timorous German, was evidently in Tery indigent circumstances. She was much excited as she toid her story. Tony came home and said, he did not want any supper. Then he went out again. He was gone about five and came back shot.

She had beard no shouting meantime, however. She heard seme one say I've killed the but he has not killed me yet." Tony tried to talk to her as hs opened the door and stepped but could not. and fell down almost-dead at her feet. Cross-examined, she said she did not see him sharpen the knife, did net aee him take anything from the safe or anywhere else before he left the first i time, and did not hear him tell tiis brother that he had lulled his man and must leave. She did not see a pistel under him When he fell, and did not see his brother take a weapon away frcoa him.

If she said such a thing at the Coroner's inquest. It was while she was so frightened she did not know whst she was doing. She denied positively that she stated at the Ccconers inquest that hs saw her brotber-in-law give him something before he went out the lsst time, lieing recalled by Maj. Kinney. Mrs.

Ixeteler replied when questioned ss to the whereabout ci her brother-in-law, that the second day alter the funeral she had infermed him that she was too poor 'to keep him at her house. He hod thereupon left the city with a Mrs. Ackermann. with whom he had been keeping company, and ber little boy. She thought he had gone to Madison, Indiana.

Officer Thornton found Hade covered with wnnnda, how many he could not ur. Officer Kennedy said Hade told him. first that, a darkey had cut him and then that Losteler had both shot and cut him. In the light of subsequent events, which, were practical! the same as already published. Maj.

Kinney argued that Losteler had shot himself during the scuffle, whether- accidentally or on purpose he could not say. JuUe Thompson held to the former opinion and Mnj. Kinney also advanced the alleged suspicious departure of Lostelers brother and Mrs. Ack-ermann, the only persons who testified at the Coroner's inquest regarding the whetting of the knife before the last time he left, Maj. Kinney-argued that even if it had been proven that Hade shot Losteler, be wss entitled to his discharge on the ground of self-defense, There are no less than five or six theories in regard to the supposed murder suicide.

The pretty little romance of Cornelius Oberwater aged twenty-three, and Bertha Weher, aged nineteen, who sailed recently from Urenierliaven, on the steamship Lshu, with a partT friends with the intention of finding a home in Deentur conn- tr.

where they intended to marry and to engage in gardening, promises to lead to no end of legal tangle. The honest lovers are already in the courts and grave international questions are being raised by a half dozen or more law yers, who seem to enjoy this refreshing bit of legal Investigation where love, not money is the motive. 1'he simple story is that Cornelius and Bertha as lovers left Holland for America. There Is no assertion of anything but an honest pur- Dose on the part of both to find their home here, and then to marry. She does not accuse him of sny impropriety or dishonesty of purpose.

The law was invoked by Bertha's lather, who was not sntisnea witn ncr ctio ee. tie got ine Holland Stute Department, to send a ea blegram to the Consul in York to arrest Bertha send her back to him and to return Oberwater on the charge of abduction.

Chief Consul A. J. Lamb has received a number of letters requesting him to change the place of holding the next annual League division meet from Louisville to Richmond. The Kenton Club and the Ruff wheelmen favor the change strongly, the lat ter organization promising to entertain the League as it was never entertained before, and that la certainly spying a great deal. The Louisville wheelmen would like to have the League meet in this city.

They have the best famished club-rooms in the West, and are anxious to show them off. But, on the other band, the meet in this city would give Covington and the Bluegrass wheelmen a two-days run, while the Louisville members would not have any run at -all. Meeting at Kichmonn. Covington would have a day out and Louisville a day and a half. As one of the most important feature of the annual meet is the run to and from the designated place, it is considered probable that the Chief Con sul will issue notice making the change.

FOR BURKE. Fir Witnesses Hay Idatlfled Him At th Man Who Gar th Sam of Frank William. Senator lennedj, th Wisconsin Lawyer 1 Defending Burks, Said Have Witb-drawn From tke Oaaa Chicago Nov. 2. For the fifth time ia twenty-four hours Martin Burke was identified this morning a Frank Will iams, tenant of the Carlson Cottage.

The events had nothing of the drama tie coloring as had the two previous identi fications, but they were none the less emphatic. The first identification to-day waa made by Charles Carlson, who was called to the stand as soon Ss the. Court was announced ready for business, The witness is thirty year ot age, has an open, honest countenance, and told his story in a clear, straightforward manner. When that part of his story-leading up to the identification was told. Mr.

Uynes asked him if be caw Will iams is the court-room. Yes." "Point him ut." With a smile Carlson said, pointing to Burke It' the secend man la that low." Burke, who is an inveterate chewer of gum, kept ou wagging his jaw, the onlj evidence that he appreciated his prominence being a faint auuie of recognition directed to Carlson. Sueakins- of the man whom he had seen In Burke' comtany. the evitness gave a description which might easily be taken for Kunze. Witness took a long look at aue sick young snspect propped np on tus fillow, but said he was unable to suv aLetfto.

Kunze was the one or not. The next witness wna if ra Juluni. Carlson, sud once mere Burke was iden- utiM quiojay and emphatically. one talked of an unhlentinl man who came to pay another month' rent about two week aftet the murder. The State believes that this man waa Coonev the fox," who ha thus far eluded the pox tee.

lhen Halksn Martinsen, the expressman who hauled the furniture from 117 South Clark street to the cottage, took the witness chair, and he too identified uurice as the one who hired him. Mrs. Uarinn tMtiiietl that un th Saturday following Mav 4. when she first went out, she noticed spots on the steps ana that both the step and the walk of the cottage showed thst there had been muc.h tramping up and down and also that the footsteps showed the persons who msde them had been walk ing in the sand. She said she thought mat rranit imams and hi sister had at last moved In and that the spots on the steps were caused by something breaking while moving.

She then described the interior of the cottage, the paint, the stains on the walls, the furniture, ew. Then, at the request of the fCtAff.a L. man known to her under the name ot Frank Williams. Pointing- tn Uurke. she said That's him, next to the fellow on tne pillow." The cross-examination was then begun.

Charles J. Carlson was recalled and testilied that the stains in the cottage were not there before Burke rented It. Hslkitn Marti osenvllie expressman who carted the furniturV from 117 Clark street, to the CarlMon eottace. tmtiflt that, the job was done in the latter port ot March, that the ninn who hired him and another man brought the furniture down from 117 Clarlr'street; and he loaded it on the wagon. It consisted of the furniture already described and a large trunk, which was then empty.

The bloody trunk was again brought into court and the witness said it resembled the one which he hauled it was strapped with a brood heavy strop. The witness then hauled the furniture to the Carl- sun cottage and after waiting about as hour the man who hired him and another man came in a buggy and the furniture waa taken into tho cottage. The witness then pointed out Martin Burketas the man who hired him to move the furniture. He said he had seen Burke in Winnipeg on the Slst of Juno last. and had there Identified him in the jail- jam.

After a long cross-examination- In which the facta were brought out that the witness had received $15 or 820 at one time and $25 at another time from the Chief of Police and that he is now in the employ Of the citr. takina- care of horses, the court adjourned till Monday.

LEW LIFE lil THE CAB. The Oldest Locomotive Engi neer In the State Retires From the Service.

Els Experience On the First Traia That Ltft This City Exciting AdTeatares la Wat. Times. Mr. Edward Gillegan, who is at pres ent making his borne at the residence ot his uncle, the late Bryant P. Scally, at 40 A West Oak treet, is, perhaps, the oldest locomotive engineer ia the State, it not in the whole country.

He began firing aa engine way back in the '408, on the eld Frankfort and Lexington railroad, which was the first line constructed in the State. He wa but a mere boy then, but he steed to hi work with, a faithfulness that secured his promotion to be an engineer in a few years. Since the day he first mount ed an engine be ha followed that business without interruption, and all till time oa the Short Line road and it connections. It would be remarkable If a man who had engaged In as hazardous a profession as raikoading and for so many years, did not possess a fund 01 interesting remi niscences, and Mr. Glllegaa is certainly no exception to such a rule.

In fact, he la well eaulpped la that line, and, yesterday, related several to a Courier-Journal representative, which were Of more than ordinary interest. To begin with, Mr. GiBegan took out the first passenger train that ever ran over the Short Line tracks. He can not recall the exact date ef this incident, but knows that it waa sometime previous to the war. The road waa then Completed only to a point just this side ef Campbellsburg, which is about nan way to.

iacinnau. The occasion of the rua was a tour of Inspection by the ofliciala ot tlie road, and hlr. Gfllegan had been selected to take out the train. This was a proud distinction, more so then than now, aine railroads and tours of inspection are more common. But at that tune such ocour- wuva were rara and Una waa a gala day ia the history of Louisville that wa long remcmDcreu ami lameu 01.

In tact, this was the tint passenger train that ever left the citr. Hot least among the proud citlxen on that eventlul day was the young man who sat ia the cab and held the turoule txt th vncine.
