His }eft leg was fractured and he suffered a fractured skull, but these, Turner de- clares, are minor ills. He has toyed with death so often that he has absolute faith in ability to survive.

One brown leghorn chicken was the un-| doing of the family of Herman Mullering. Arrest for disuppearance of his wife and daughter from is farm on the Pernod road May 7, last, fortune spent during moments of his despair,long sleepless nights and days of futile search before the return of the missing ones and the family reunion —all this Mullering iayg at the door of a chicken. The chicken is dead. Mullering killed it. That is why his wife left him. These are serious consequences which the victim of the ‘“‘deep murder mystery’’ at- tributes to the fowl. j But there are others. Search of deep sink- holes on the MuHering farm by perspirins policemen for the bodies of Mrs, Mullering and her daughter, the dragging of the Riv- er des Peres for the same cause, the dis- patching of five policemen to arrest him after he had supplied the police with his address, the summoning of a dozen wit- nesses, some of whom had seen strange things and heard mysterious shots, and who had told of incidents that bade fair to cause serious trouble for Mullering, and finally the appearance of Mrs. Mullering ané her child at the police station where judgment was to be passed on the husband and fath- er—in all this the chicken played the lead- ing role in this serio-comedy. GUILTY SAID NEIGHBORS. The hearing of Mullering’s neighbors, who 1ad gathered at the mounted district police station te relate circumstances which had convinced them that a tragedy had oc- curred, was about to commence at 10 o'clock Friday. In a half-hour’s comparison of notes on the wide plazza of the Mounted District station the neighbors had worked up a case against Mullering which seemed to them complete. Henry Meyer, a 16-year-old boy who had told his parents that he heard shots and a woman's screams at the Mullering house on the morning of his disappearance, had been sent for by telephone. His story, the confident neighbors said, would give the necessary link in the chain of evidence, Joseph Porter, to whom Mullering had sold his belongings; “made the ‘statement in the eyes of the _ police, most cast suapicion on the prisoner. “The note is not the same one he showed strongly me,” declared Portner when the police showed. him the scrap of paper containing Mrs. Mullering’s farewell words. “It couldn't be the same, because he tore the first one up. I saw him tear it to pieces, after he had shown it to me.” Lawrence O'Keefe, another neighbor, positive that he had heard shots fired the Mullering house on the morning May 7. In the group of Pernod road dwellers on the station piazza were Paul Luther. Lem Staley, William Kameyer, Henry Price, Frank Keufer, Franz Rascher, James Cul- tin, Portner and O'Keefe. Keufer, who keeps the neighborhood sa- loon, was the last of che party arrive. He had conducted a searching party along the banks of the River des Peres, and had found on the bank of the stream an ‘under- garment which the searchers at once con- cluded had belonged to the missing girl. THE LOST IS FOUND. The missing wife and daughter appeared just as a preliminary hearing of the neigh- at of Lo bors’ stories was to be held in the prison- er’s presence. When he was released from his cell, Mullering, who had not lost his temper since his arrest, turned his wrath loose upon the neighbors who had cast suspicion on him. Then, after an hour's persuasion, Muller- was | jas , oh Be.

Capt. McNamee was much interested by the statement of Portner that the note pur- porting to be from the missing woman was not the one which had first been shown hira. He wrged Portner to he sure that his memory was correct before making such a statement. “I am sure,”’ said the man. Going inside, Capt. McNamee read the note to Mullering, and told him to write the same words on a piece of paper. The prisoner did so, and the police officers gath- ered around the two copies, making a com- parison. Special Officer Kirk, who arrested Mul- lering Thursday morning, left the group of policemen and started for the Four Courts. where, by Capt. McNamee's instructions. he was to apply fora warrant against Mul- lering on the charge of selling mortgaged property. This would serve, the captain had raid, to hold the man unti) further developmerts in regard io the missing woman and child. MULLERING INDIGNANT. As he stepped upon the long granitoid walk that leads from the Mounted District station to the transit company’s track, Kirk saw a woman and child approaching, accompanied by a man. “Hullo, Pete,” said Kirk, recognizing in the man Marshal P. A. Secrest of Kirk- wood, “Have you got Mullering at the station?’ Secrest asked without stopping to return the salutation. “These,"’ added Secrest, ing and the giri.’’ Kirk turned and ran inside the station with the news.
