MURDEROUS ASSAULT |S =s=sssstetsestss A Before-the-“Fourth” Sale | : : Designed to create a genuine commotion in local A _ two-day sale, in which all Frank Mueller Attacked and Beaten Into Insensibility. OBJECT BELIEVED 70 BE ROBBERY The Unconscious Man Found ona Lonely Road. HIS MONEY IS —— SAFE Frank Mueller, an ex-soldier, was found on the Mount Olivet road_ about 1:40 o'clock this morning in an apparently dying condi- tion, his head having been beaten with a big ston2. It is the belief of the police that the man’s assailants intended to rob him. Mueller had nearly $1,000 on his person, but the appearance of Policeman Phi! Browne, on horseback, it is thought, fright- ened away the highwaymen, and thus saved the man’s mony as well as prevented his life being taker at that time. Policeman Browne blew his whistle, and this caused a rumber of railroad men to come, with lan- terns, from the Trinidad shops. Th2 police patrol wagon was also summoned, and the injured man was taken to the Eastern Dis- Fensary for treatment. After an operation had been performed by Drs. Barnes, Atwell Gi ith iff Frank Mueller. and Warner the patient rested fairly well, but he cons calls for water, although he can retain nore of it after swallowing it. His condition at oon was extremely seri- cus, and it is feared he cannot recover. The doctors had discovered no fracture of the skull at noon, nor did the patient dis- play any symptoms to indicate that there {s a fracture. Scalp Laid Bare. Almost the entire right side of his head had been pounded, and in several places the scalp had been laid bare. The physi- sians found it necessary to remove parts of the scalp and clean the dirt and what appeared to be coal dust from the several wounds. In his forehead there was a clean cut as if it had been done with some sharp instrument, perhaps a knife or hatchet. Mueller was unable to tell a connected story. When asked assaulte: him he responded, “You ought to kno Soon after reaching the hospital the tient’s mutterings indicated that he pa- be- lieved he had been robbed, but his money, amounting pocket. This money wanted his sister Switzerland, where was born. The place where the assault was com- mitted is only a few feet from the fence along the south boundary of Mount Olivet cemetery, and a place where pedestrians seldom pass after 9 o'clock at night. Op- posite the cemetery fence is an inclosure that is covered with trees and low shrub- bery. Only a few hundred feet west is the Ivy City railroad station, while not far east is the Biadensburg road. This road is used at night by residents of Ivy City who visit the stores on the Bladens- burg road. But, as already stated, late at night pedestrians and drivers are seldom seen on the road, though it is used as a short cut by the mounted policemen in going from one village to the other. The Ghastly Sight. The morning was unusually dark and the officer did not see Mueller until his horse shied. Then he dismounted and discover- ed the ghastly sight. Mueller was stretch- ed out on his back at full length, his head in a pool of blood and his right hand rest- ing near a stone which weighs three or four pounds. This stone, which the’ police have in their possession as evidence, is the weapon evidently used by the murderous robbers. It is covered with blood and hair. Another stone, picked up near the fence, is also supposed to have been used by the assailants and is held at the siation. It ap- pears to have been thrown by some one, as a mark is plainly seen where it struck the cemetery fence. The officers found severa! spots of blood on the fence also, though just how they got there is not known. It Was thought possible that the criminals had escaped by running through the cem- etery, but there were no footprints found anywhere on the whitewashed fence. Policeman Brown entered Mount Olivet road from the Bladensburg road and was riding west when he found Mueller. If it is true that the noise of the horse’s hoofs frightened off the soldier's assailants it is probable they went toward Ivy City. De- tectives Muller and Baur were assigned to the case and they are working with Officer Brown. 08, was found in his , he afterward said, he to have. She lives in the unfortunate man The Victim. Frank Mueller, the victim, was fairly well known in Northeast Washington, al- theugh he has lived there only a few months. He has a big dog, and frequently he would take his dog out as far as the Eastern branch for a swim. ‘Chrough this means he had become known to scores of children who took éelight in playing with the big dog. He lived at the house of Mr. Charles R. Hoff at No. 1029 7th street, where he lived as cne of the family. Dur- irg his boyhood days in Switzerland he attended college with Mr. Hoff, and later, when they came to this country, they served together in the army. Mr. Hoff warried, and his friend Mueller remained in the army. After about nineteen years of service he was discharged, leaving the army, in South Dekota, a year ago, and came here to live with his old friend. He recelved $3,000 from home some time ago, end this money he carried with him. Mr. Hoff's children loved him, not related they call him uncle. Lately he had had an idea that people were pl ting to rob him, but he insisted on carry- ing his money with him and would not put it in bank. It had been his custom to in- dulge in a glass of beer occasionally, and at a saloon on K street not long ago he had boested that he had plenty of money and was not compelled to work. At an- other place, it is stated, he exhibited a roll of bills. The police say that Mueller had been drinking for several days until yes- terday, when he substituted soda for some- thing stronger. At Home as Usual. Mueller was in the house last evening as usual. Mr. Hoff had gone to get news of his nephew, Gus Ruhlin, the prize fighter, who was defeated last night by Sharkey; Mrs. Hoff and the children retired a few minutes after 10 o'clock and the children | went in Mueller’s room to kiss him good- night. . “Uncle Frank ain't in here,” said one of the disappointed children. He had been in the house only a few min- utes before, but Mrs. Hoff did not see him when he went out. Neighbors had seen him about 10 o'clock, and he was then go- ing north on 7th street. He had not said ttre about going out. Mrs. Hoff thought it singular that he should leave the house at an hour so late, it being unusual for him to do so. ‘Through fear of robbery, Mueller had a friend get some big bi This action differs from the alleged to have pursued in a with money. course he is ‘| saloon a few days ago.

All the saloons In Northeast Washington have been visited, but none of the proprtfetors remember having seen Mueller in their places last night. At one saloon the pro- prietor said he had been in the habit of getting a glass of beer in his place every few days. “He was always very gentlemanly,” said the saloonkeeper, “and seldom drank more than one small glass of beer.” ‘At-Beuchler’s saloon on the Bladensburg road the wife of the superna sald she thought Muelier was there about 10:30 o'clock last night.
