New York city in connection with the I
murder or his mint, Mrs. Ottilllo Eber-1 of the stnte for this year Is $5U,oio,

Df citizen 8 senrched a thicket at Onk I :ates an actual Increase in value of

pect, only to learn that he was a j 495. Thomas is the only county in
tramp. The police do not think that , the slate so far which shows a de
the murderer will be captured near crease in land values, the shortage be
the scene of the crime. They say Ing explained by a falling oft In the
that anyone who could display such j number of acreB under cultivation,
cold blooded cunning as wus shown Judge Edgar Howard of Columbus
In the murder plot, would' plan to get ' appeared before the state board of
Bafely away before the crime was dls-1 equalization to dlscusB his protest
covered. It would have been easy for i against the alleged omission of $9,
the murderer to get to Paterson by i 000,000 worth of material from the re
trolley and from thlB place to get a I turns made by the Union Pacific
train. A brother of Eberhard waH ' General Superintendent Park of the
found at Woodslde, N. J., and he haB Union Pacific, who had been cited to
furnished the police with an excellent appear before the board, was not pres
photograph of tho mlsBing mnn. The j ent, but A. W. Scrlbner, tax commls
brother was deeply affected when ho sioner of the Union Pacific, appeared
learned the police are searching for j In his stead. Mr. Scrlbner contended
his brother. Ho sayB that he did not that when Mr. Park said the Union
know that Mrs. Eberhard and her
daughter had Intended to come to this
country. He thinks hla brother Was
also murdered. FriendB of Eberhard
nre at a Iosb to account for his dis
appearance after tho killing of his
aunt and the wounding of his cousin
and affianced bride.
There was n pathetic scene enacted
when Miss Eberhard was taken to
tho scene of tho tragedy. The girl
showed a remnrkablo memory and ac
curately guided the detectives to tho
railroad tracks where her aunt was
slain and where she herself was
wounded. The girl was deeply affect
ed, but she showed great courage and
retold tho story of tho shooting.
Miss Eberhard says she saw a Hash
coming evidently from behind a car
on a siding nearby and then a second
nnd a third. As her mother fell to
the tracks, the girl felt a bullet graze
her own neck, cutting a gold chain
from which a locket was suspended.
Suddenly Eberhard urged her to run
as a second bullet plowed' Into her
shoulder, and she started down tho
track screaming.
Once she turned
back to.seo If her mother wns follow-1
lng her, nnd ngaln there was a shot,
which passed above tho bridge of her
nose, the blood from the wound half
blinding her. She snld her mother
carried $2,(100 In her clothing.
It Is believed Eberhard lured his
mint to America and murdered her
for her money.
