L CRIME LONG RIO
Slew His Loving Wife
Husband of Victim Whose Skele
ton Was Found 19- Months Af
ter Death Tells the Story When
His Letter ^^Us'lTefense.
SHOT WHEN -KISSED HIM
New York, Oct. 25.? A year and a
half ago a friendless girl waa mur
dered. In a forsaken patch of wood
lapd near Iellp: a week ago her
bleached and charred skeleton was
found", with nothing to Indicate "TIT
Identity b'ut her jewelry and a Dill
of sale from a German shop; three
flays later, through the police of
Hamburg. Cermaintr-her identity was
established as Anna Luther, although
the cables flr?v-uarrii?d the a?r
Latter. Last night her husband.
Frederick Oebhardt. who had mar
ried her under the name of Otto
Mueller, waa caught In Astoria by
means of a photographer's flashlight,
and tonight he confessed over hlB sig
nature that he is her slaver. The
confession follows:
"About December. 1907, /I first met
Anna Luther. We were married in
February, 190S, and went to Europe
to live. We returned April C. 190S.
She went to Henry Wertwpp-'s, in
Newark. N. J., to spend a day or two.
On the pretense that I was goiug to
rent an apartment for us to live in. I
returned to my home and wife in As
toria. I met Anna again on April S.
In Newark, afcd we went to an ad
drnSB ? *n ? TtrTriy-tourtTI street, S'ew
York, and then to Jamaica, Long Is
land. We stayed in Jamaica until
ne?t day. #
Shot Iler atii Went Away. |
April' 9 we went to pay Short, and
we walked about and I showed her
some property. 4 I gcj,t Into an argu
ment with her about some money
matters, and I turned away and
wanted to go back. She followed me
np, screaming, and I shot her In the
head. I didn't look at her. and do I
not remember whether* 1 shot her
more than once.
"Immediately after I went to the
Isllp depot and took a train for home.
It was nearly dark.- JDn the way
home on the train I threw ine revol
ver out of the car window:
"I want to state thaj I didn't kill
Anna Luther for Jier money, as the
newspapers have Stated. My original !
reason for marrying Anna is that 1
didn't care to live with my first wife
? ha,d given me a child, my desire to
again see my child caused me to want
to get rid of Anna Luther and return
to my first wife and child.
Tlilt> is Hit reason wny i snot Anna
Luther, and I told her In Bay Shore
that I married and had a wife
and child, and mu?^ leave her.
"She screamed and ran atter me,
and kissed me. and wanted me back,
and I shot her.
"This confession is made on my
own free will, without any hope of
recompense being offered me.'"
From the lime of his arrest last !
night until he broke down today un
der police questioning, Oebhardt, al
though he admitted that he commit
ted bigamy when he jnarried Anna
"Luther, denied all knowledge of her!
