POLICE SEKMEPHEW
Capture Suspect, Who Proves
to Be a Tramp
Believed Nephew Lured Woman to
America and Then Murdered Her for
Her Money Bullets Aimed at
Daughter Fall Tells of Tragedy.
Believing thoy wcro about to cap
ture AiiKust liJuerhard, the grocer's
clcrlt, who Is Bought by the iiollce of
Now York city In connection with tho
murder of his mint, Mrs. Ottlllto I30er
hnrd of Vienna, the- police and a posse
of citizens searched a thicket at Oak
dale, N. J., finally capturing tho sus
pect, only to learn Hint he was a
tramp. The pollco do not think that
the murderer will be captured near
the scene of the crime. They say
that anyone who could display such
cold blooded cunning as was shown
In the murder plot, would' plan to get
safely away before tho crime was dis
covered. It would have been easy for
tho murderer to get to Paterson by
; trolley and from this place to get a
train. A brother of Eberhard was
found at Woodslde, N. J., and he has
furnished the police with an excellent
photograph of the missing man. The
brother was deeply affected when ho
learned the police are searching for
his brother. He says that he did not
know that Mrs. Eberhard and her
daughter had Intended to come to this
couutry. Ho thinks his brother was
also murdered. Friends of Eberhard
are at a loss to account for his dis
appearance after tho killing of his
aunt and the wounding of his cousin
and afllanced bride.
There was a pathetic scene enacted
when Miss Eberhard was taken to
tho sceno of tho tragedy. Tho girl
showed a remarkable memory and ac
curately guided the detectives to tho
railroad tracks wherxi her aunt wns
slain and where sho herself was
wounded. Tho girl was deeply affect
ed, but sho showed great courage and
retold tho story of the shooting.
Miss Eberhard says she saw a Hash
coming evidently from behind a car
on a siding nearby and then a second
and a third. As her mother fell to
tho 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
i as a second bullet plowed' into her
shoulder, and she started down the
1 track screaming. Once she turned
back toseo if her mother was follow
ing her, and ngaln there was a shot,
which passed above the bridge of her
nose, tho blood from tho wound half
blinding her. Sho said her mother
carried $2,000 in her clothing.
It Is believed Eberhard lured his
mint to America nnd murdered her
for her money.
