George von Haller, peddler, living at 4932
North Eighteenth street. Is the name of
the man whom the police department Is
looking for as the person supposed to have
llred the shot that killed :M. D. Reese, Mis
souri Pacific operator at the Oak Chatham
Station, Twenty-second and the Belt line,
Wednesday night.
Adolph Hubermann of the Glentfalm, S'x
teentb and Douglas streets, now bring held
In the matron's department at the city jail,
Is said to have been Von Halter's com
panion at the time of the tragedy. Huber
mann has told to ths police a story that
corroborates In the main that told by Mrs.
Reese. Von Haller Is now at large and the
police are making every effort to effect his
apprehension. Circulars an pnotographs
are being sent In all directions and it Is
believed It will he but a matter of time be
fore be Is apprehended. The police say
Hubermann's connection with the affair Is
but circumstantial and a specific charge
will net be placed against him until at
least after the Inquest and the advice of
the county attorney has been received.
Front what Mrs. Reese and Hubermann
have told the authorities It is their belief
that no mystery can be connected with the
shooting, but rather that it was a brutal
and unprovoked assault.
'llobermana'a Story to Police.
Hubermann's story to Chief of Detectives
Dunn is in substancot
"Vorl Haller and I were out to together
and were taking a short cut along the
tracks; to take a southbound car down
town when we passed the Reese place.
The dog came out and so did Reese. Reese
tias going to shoot the dog and Von Haller
then went for Reese and I tried to get him
to be Quiet and Von Haller threatened me.
idr: Reese took, hold of her husband with
a view of getting him in the house and
asaln I trim tn IstTrtSS, ScvcnU shuts
wure fired. Von Haller and I then went
our way and he fired a shot Jir the air and
I tried to take ths revolver from him. We
separated the way down town."
One -of the connecting links', of the affair
is a bloody shirt found by Detectives Ma
loney and Drummey la the house of Lroy
J. Hanlln at Twentieth and Spruce streets
the same evening. Mr. Hanlln was out of
the city at the time, but the detectives
learned from Mrs. Hanlln that Von Haller
bad called at the house not long utter the
hooting and changed his shirt It was

said he had some clothes at the Hanlln
place. t
The authorities got a line on Von Haller
and Hubermunn by hearing that, the; for
mer had been in 1 that part of' the city
that evening and was with , Hubermann,
Thefr- various movements were traced and"
the itinerary Included, a number of saloons
In that section. So far as the police are
able to learn Von Haller was more or less
under the Influence of liquor while -his
companion was comparatively sober.
Description of Von Haller.
Von Haller is 28 years of age, 5 feet and
9 inches In height, smooth .-ace, sandy
complexion, of slender build, with muscu
lar shoulders. He Is known to the police
having figured In an affair at Forty
eighth and Cass streets during November,
1898, when he and a man named Roy Uepp
ner escaped after a pursuit by Sergeant
Dempsey, Captain W. V. Cox and Detec
tives Savage, Sullivan and Keyser. At that
time complaints were received at the police
station regarding a house at Forty-eighth
and Caas streets. Officers were sent there,
but no one responded to the call. Then a
search wurrant was obtained and a second
call made. Then the officers were rein
forced and met with a tusilade of shots.
Von Haller and Geppner escaped with a
stolen horse and buggy after having taken
Detective Suvage's revolver. They were
next heard, of In Schnectady, N. y., where
they were arrested, Von Holler' getting
away from the officers and Geppner being
sentenced to a year In the penitentiary. '
An autopsy has been held at Coroner
,Bralley's office on the body of Reese, the
result or which examination will ba mada
known at the Inquest, which will be held
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock.
Says Money Invited Crime. '
A rumor has gained currency that Reese
recently had inherited J150.000 and was mur
dered by men who knew of this fact and
sought to get bis legacy. An effort was
made to see Mrs. Reese with reference to
this story, but she could not be seen.
Attorney Hugh A. Meyer, at whose home
Mrs. Reese is stopping since her husband's
traglo death, is authority for the state
ment that Reese was expecting to come
Into possesslop of an estate left by his
fathor, who was very wealthy, but the
amount was not stated. The will now 1s
In probate court In Washington. Mo.
Reese's father was a -railroad contractor
and was colonel In the union army during
the civil war.
It has been stated hy frlonrtg of the fsmliy
that Reese's, mother was a sister of the
late P. T. Barnum, the famous showman.
Reea Dies at Hospital.
Reese, who was shot under the 'left eye
night before lust, died yesterday evening
at Clarkson hospital, to which place he
had been removed before noon yesterday.
He was In a semi-unconscious condition
when taken to the hospital and shortly
after lapsed into complete unconsciousness
In which condition he died.
As tar as can be learned he did - not
speak' of the shooting affair or add any
facts to the meager details on which the
police are working for the purpose of
arresting the nuin who fired the shot.
Mrs. Reese was taken to the residence of
Hugh A. Myers, a friend of the family's,
at 3!WJ North Seventeenth when her hus
band was removed to the Clurkson hos
pital and on hearing of his death was
prostrated with grief. Kurlltr In the day
she had told her story to Mrs. Myers, her
hostess, who when Questioned about the
affair, said:
"From what 1 can gather from Mrs.
Reese's story, it -eeria that Mr. Rense went
out of the house when he beard the dog
barking, having previously armed hlmsolf
with a revolver. Rut she says she thinks
the revolver was unloaded. Mrs. Reese
heard the person outaide make a remark
and immediately there Came a quick sue
cesHlon of shots. How many she does not
know. Bhe ran out of the house and
found her hu&bund lying In the doorway.
6he does not know any reason for the
shooting." i
Chief ihmahue when asked If there haj
been any further developments la the. raw
reiiU-l: "Not any further fur publication."
