Schieber was a resident of Ba- varia and last October married a widow with a son five years old. In the event of the death of this boy an inheritance of 1,600 marks or about $400 would fall to his mother, Mrs. Schieber. In order to gain this paltry sum Schieber pushed the boy into the creck and drowned him. ‘The child's grandfather, an old man named Sturm, taxed Schieber with the crime. The latter went to Sturm’'s house and shot him through the window, kill ing the old man as he was washing his face. With his last breath Starm gasped the name of bis assassin. Schieber ted to Bohemia, where he purchased « sport from a man named Mathias Kattle, emigrated to America and then resumed his own name. Coming to Minne- apolis Schieber went to work for a farmer named Marks at Edina Mills. Marks read an account of the tragedy in a Milwaukee German paper and the similarity of names of the mur- derer and his new hired man struck him as pe- euliar. He questioned Schieber as to where | he came trom and the latter answered. Marks Tauaded Schieber to come to Minneapolis to ave a felon on his hand treated. and on arriv- ing here surrendered the murderer to the police. Schieber admitted his identity and finally confessed that he killed his step son and old man Sturm. He waived extradition pro- ceedings, and, acting under orders from the State department at Washington, Deputy Mar- shal Hoy was taking Schieber to New York, where he was to have been turned over to the German consul general.
