He is now trying tostarve himself to death. -Muller entered the Kassmarkt policestation a few days ago, and, approach-ing the officer on duty, exclaimed dra-matically:oT surrender myself! I have mur-dered my wife and child!�oWhat do you mean?� asked the of-ficer, incredulously.oJust what I say,� answered Muller.oT have killed them both.TThought He Was Crazy.oHow did you come to do it?T askedthe officer, still thinking the man wasnot telling the truth,oI was in the kitchen this morning,�Muller replied, ~cleaning mussels forthe midday meal,when a voice called tome to draw my knife across my wifeTs! medical student of the asylum,Sent to an Asylum,There being no doubt as to the manTsinsanity, the necessary certificate forhis removal to a lunatic asylum wasprocured, and on the 15th of April, 1893,Gustav Muller was taken, in the usualway, to the London County LunaticAsylum, at Banstead, in Surrey.From inquiries made there yesterday"after the announcement of the crimeat Rotterdam-"there is no doubt thattheT Gustav Muller who was detainedat Banstead, and the Gustav Mullerwho gave himself up for the murder ofhis wife and child to the Rotterdampolice, are one and the same person.In the book of entries at BansteadGustav Muller is described as well builtand well nourished, with healthy or-gans, and a o~well-shaped cranium.� Hisage was given as 27; by trade a watch-maker and goldworker. Nothing wasknown as to his religion or nationality,and whether he was married or single.Nor were any details forthcoming re-garding the epileptic fits from which hewas supposed to be suffering, the datesof their occurrence, his treatment in In-dia and in Europe, and so on. But hewas reported to suffer from suicidalmania, though not to be a dangerouslunatic.Behaved Well at Banstead.As a matter of fact Gustay Mullernot only behaved very well indeed allthe time he was at Banstead, quietly| working on the farm attached to theasylum and carrying out all the ordersgiven him without reluctance or de-mur, but showed no signs of delusionsor hallucinations. Nor was he subjectto any epileptic fits while staying atBanstead. His health was reported fairand improving; his mental state wasstated to be ~calm and placid,� andhis features did not indicate oany low-,ering of the intellectual grade.� Notremor of his facial muscles betrayedany inward or mental disturbance. But,as Muller persisted in saying that hedid not comprehend anything else butyerman, further investigation was, nodoubt, rendered somewhat difficult.On April 19, however, Dr. Shaw, thewhothroat, and I was compelled to obey. /Speaks German and French fluently,Then I, killed the little one.�The officer, convinced that Mullerwas a drunkard or a maniac, laughed,which enraged his visitor.oPerhaps you will believe me now,�cried Muller, taking from his pocketand placing on the desk in front of thehorrified officer four bloody humanears, oGo to my house, and you willfind that what I have said is true.�The man was immediately placed un-der arrest, and Chief Strang, the headof.the Police Department, was notified.Ordering two officers to follow him,the chief hurried to the prisonerTshouse and there found ample confirma-tion of MullerTs tragic tale.Both Were Butchered.,In the kitchen were the two bodissof MullerTs wife and child, the headsof both having been nearly severedfrom the trunks. The room was spat-tered with blood.Chief Strang went to the _ Kassmarktstation and subjected Muller to a rigidexamination. Mullerawithout any com-pulsion, confessed that these two mur-ders were merely links in a leng chainof .crime. He told the chief he hadbutchered his father and mother andhad married fourteen women in asmany parts of the world, all of whomhe had. done to death, with a numberof their children. He could not re-member how many little ones he hadslaughtered.After completing his confession, Mul:ler became morosely silent and refusedto eat. He has declared his intentionof abstaining from food as the onlyway in which he can commit suicide."The police now give full credence tohis awful story, and are making everyeffort to trace his other crimes. It isbelieved that some of his murders werecommitted in the Orient.LISH RECORD.Muller Declared in London Thet FeHad Butchered Four ThousandPersons.HIS ENG(By Anglo-American Press.)LONDON, Nov. 1.Some time in March, 1898, there land-ed at Dover a German watchmakernamed Gustav Muller. He came fromIndia, traveling somewhat leisurely,through France, on his way to thiscountry. When he arrived in London,toward the end of March, he was pen-niless, or nearly so. The slender re-sources he may have had in his pos-session were soon exhausted, and onenight he was found wandering inSouthwark by Police Constable Ridg-way, 13 M. R., who took him to theworkhouse in Mint street, Borough.This happened on the 30th of Marchof the said year.~In due course Gustav Muller, who,strange to say"coming as he did from1 India"professed neither to understandnor to speak a word of English, cameunder the observation of the workhousedoetor, who very soon came to the con-clusion that the man was of unsoundmind. He walked about the yard in adazed manner, talKing to himself all thetime, and he told the doctor some ex-traordinary tales. He had, he said,murdered his father and mother, hiswife and children. At other times heproclaimed himself a wholesale slaugh-)terer. having butchered no Jgss than}}had a lengthy conversation with hisTeutonic patient. The latter confirmedto him that he had come from India.Feil from an Elephant.While sojourning in that country, hesaid, he had toward the end of theyear 1891 fallen from an elephant hewag riding, in consequence of which hehad to remain in a hospital for sometime. He attributed his epileptic fits,and his mental condition, to that falliin India, from which he had never en-tirely recovered. He repudiated, how-ever, the correctness of the statementsin the certificate of the medical officerof St. GeorgeTs workhouse, and cer-tainly was neat aware of having actedand spoken as therein stated. The doc-tor in Southwark, he said, must havemisunderstood him, not being able tofollow his German.Yo Dy. Shaw, Muller must have, at |any rate, spoken with great clearnessand intelligence. He appeared thor-oughly earnest and genuine, althoughhe averred as a fact what was un-doubtedly false"namely, that heunmarried, adding, what was probablytrue, that he had no friends in Eng-land. .Had a Family in Berlin.At that time. Gustav Muller had awiT? and child"a boy"living in Berlin,H}. parents were also alive in Ger-m: ., his father being a foreman on ,th: oyal Prussian railways. This is /pr ad by a letter, sent to Dr. Shawat i .nstead, from the secretary of thesaid railways at Berlin in May, 1893,therefore at the very time that Mullerwas detained in the asylum. In thatletter the writer almost implores Dr.Shaw, in the name of a omourningfamily,TT to tell him whether GustavMuller was suffering from an incurabledisease, or whether there might be achance of his recovery. Consequently,MullerTs ~omouring familyT? must havebeen aware of his detention at this par-ticular asylum.Dr. Shaw was able to send an en-couraging reply to Berlin. Indeed, inJune, 1893, Gustay Muller was rapidlyimproving in health, so that, on the 22dof that month, the committee of vis-itors felt justified to order his releaseas fully orecovered,� of course, on thereport of the medical authorities atBanstead to that effect.Sent Back to Germany,After his discharge Gustav Muller islost sight of for a while; but there isno doubt that soon afterward he wassent back to Germany, presumably atthe expense of the Imperial, Exchequer,as a pauper, for, at the end of thesaid year we find him once again inthe conjugal domus at Berlin. He haddeserted his wife and child in January,1890, leaving no trace of his where-abouts for fully three years and a half.This period in the murdererTs existenceig still largely a blank. It is onlyknown that he wandered about in theworld, visiting many countries, andfinally finding his way to India, where,as we have already seen, he met with@ serious accident toward the end of1891,There ig no doubt that Muller ab-sconded in January, 1890, from Berlinas a fraudulent bankrupt, but he per-suaded his wife to take him back againyWas.ful to settle down in life, and managedto obtain some lucrative employmentin his old line of business at Berlin, he },appearing to have been a really skill-and peanuts for yesterday, as furnisheby Cobbchants of N orfolk °a ~Bros. & Commission 4 MereREE SECOTTON, :ful artisan. oe ! iDeserted One Wife. ._ 700d Middling ~BgBut Frau Muller was not destined to | Middling 5§be quiet and happy for long.
