Monday, April 18, 3 THE ASHEVILLE GAZETTE-NEWS. PAGE TWO ALBERT A. MITER TRIO ra Saxon Youth Arraigned for Murder of Young Girl, Ruth Amos Wheeler. ' New York, April IS. The trial "f Albert Walter Wolter was call ed today before Jude Warren W. Foster In Part V. or the Court "I General Sessions. The defendant, a Saxon boy of i jears, is charged with hiving brutally murdered Ituttt Ainoa Wheeler, a handsome girl of 15 years, and with having dismembered and partly burned her body. Tin crime, which was committed less than u month aK. was of an unusually biutnl and fiendish nature, and creat ed considerable sensation at Hi time. Proexutor Confident. Assistant District Attorney Frank .Moss, uhu has lii-en at work almost constant!) since the discovery of the crime, collecting evidence iikuIiisI Writer, is Confident ol being able to convict the accused of the crime with which he is charged. He has in his possession what he considers :i strong rhaln of circumstantial evidence, suf ficient, he believes, to prove the uuill of Wolter. The lirst link in the evidence t.i be submitted in the prosecution will be I he admission of Wolter that he wrote a postal card to tin- Merchants' mid Hunkers' Business college, where Miss Wheeler had studied stenography, asking thul a stenographer be si-m to his home lit No. 224 East Seventy Fifth street. The curd, which whs handed to Miss Wheeler and which she probnbl) had In her possession when she entered Wolter" apartment, bus not been found, but Ihe curd ivns m-ii hj several witnesses who partic ularly in.te. I upon it the Impression of a rubber stamp. Identlal with thai 1,1 n stamp found in Welter's pusses sum. The fact that Wolter afterward denied having written to the college! 1 1 ir a stenographer, is expected to count against him when it is shown hj the testimony of several witnesses! hat such a card actuuily existed and when Wolter's notelKiok is produced In evidence, by which it Is expected to show not only that Wolter had i been In the habit of answering ad- 1 vertlsements of stenographers apply ing for work but thai he had written, lo the Merchants' and Hankers' Hnsi- I ness eolb-ge anil had seen and spoken to Miss Wheeler. In proof the hit ler contention it ill be pointed mil thai Miss Wheeb-r was known in Hie college and among h.-r girl friends merely as tilth Wheeler, as she never i found in the stove and fireplace of Wolter's flat. Expert testimony will be introduced to prove that the grease under the paint of Wolter's fireplace was human fat. It Is expected that the defense will make a general denial of Wolter's guilt, will cast doubt upon the Identi ftcatlon of the body as that of Ruth Wheeler, will maintain that un Identi fication of the body and of the hat pins, chain and shirtwaist was im possible under the circumstances. If everything else should fall, it is be lieved, the defense will rely upon a idea of insanity to save Wolter.
