PLOTTOBUY DEATH “SILENCE” 1S BARED Slayer of Rich Garment Maker Admits Living Secretly in Victim’s Home. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, April 9.—The dis- trict attorney’s office disclosed today that it was investigating evidence that “huge sums” were paid for silence, assertedly. to hold in the realms of it own mystery the murder eight years ago of Fred Oesterreich, wealthy gar- ment manufacturer, formerly of Mil- | waukee, Wis. | Evidence was understood to be in the hands of the investigating officials that two separate conspiracies existed, each of which was designed to rob the widow, Walburga Oesterreich, of the $750,000 estate left by her husband. Reinvestigation of the case was started several months ago and came to a climax Monday with the publica- tion of an affidavit given the district attorney by Herman Shapiro, former attorney for the widow. He related that she had revealed to him that Otto San- huber, alias Walter Klein, her lover for 18 years, had lived in secret compart- | ments in Oesterreich’s homes here and in_Milwaukee. Sanhuber, arrested Monday on sus-| picion of murder. last night was said by James Costello, deputy district at- torney, to have confessed that he shot Oestcrreich on (ne night of August 22, 1922, when he believed that Mrs. Oes- terreich was being hurt during a quar- rel with her husband. Sanhuber said he was resting in the attic when he heard the couple come in and start quarreling. “1 thought Mrs, Oesterreich was being killed,” he said. “I grabbed my pistol and ran from the room. When he faced me, I fired. I ran back upstairs and went to the little room. I was stiff with fright.” ‘The deputy district attorney announc- ed that the arrest of other persons im- plicated in the slaying was momentarily expected. After the shooting, police found Mrs. Oesterreich imprisoned in a clothes closet, the door of which was locked from the outside. Eleven months later, after a man told police that Mrs. Oesterreich had given him a gun to throw away, she was arrested and charged with the murder of her husband. Investiga- tors never were able to solve the my tery of the locked closet door, however, and after holding the woman under technical arrest for nearly two years, the case against her was dismissed. Sanhuber, when arrested, was em- loyed as & janitor in an apartment ouse. He was married six years ago. Mrs. Oesterreich has not been ques- tioned. SEVENTH-DAY.

THE EVENING DUAL POLICEMAN-BANDIT ROLE LANDS MAN IN JAIL MINUS §1,400 Detroiter Sees Himself as “Sucker” in Falling for Same Racket By the Associated Press. DETROIT, April 9.—Henry Boroo, a former chief of police, thought he was pretty clever when he did police work by day and engaged in banditry by night or vice versa, but he now admits he was plain dumb. He fell for the same racket twice—at a cost of $1,400. Henry was thrown into jail after de- tectives followed a trail that led from a number of hold-ups and robberies right to an apartment he frequented. Yesterday. as the result of his confes- sion, he and several others were charged with robbery armed. ‘Swaggering about in fine clothes and reviewing his jobs Boroo got the idea he was a big shot—so big, in fact, that Twice. he decided his gang could use a ma- | chine gun. The news was breezed about in circles attuned to that sort of talk. A “salesman” for a machine-gun com- pany—at least Henry thougkt so—called upon him. Henry bit and paid over several hundred dollars. Several weeks passed but no machine gun arrived and the “salesman” had disappeared. Then a “salesman” representing an- other company called, and, believe it or not, Boroo placed another order and paid out more cash. The result was the same—no machine gun and a sec- ond disappearing salesman. Boroo told of this while being quizzed at police headquarters. “I'm just a sucker,” said Boroo. DR.

C, MUSIC NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. A varied program aroused definite enthusiasm in a large audience, when presented yesterday afternoon by the National Symphony Orchestra in Con- stitution Hall. This was the third and last program to be preparcd this Spring by the new orchestra. It was the sec- ond concert presented under the direc- tion of Hans Kindler, Dutch cellist. in the capacity of conductor for the local orchestra, there is certainly little room for doubt that he is one of the coming conductors of the music world. He showed real genius in his work yesterday and he seems ‘o have all the qualities necessary for a successful career in such a capacity. He has musicianship, artistic feeling, initiative in interpretation, and true leadership ability, These 80 Washington musicians played excellently under his direction and showed marked improvement over thelr previous performances. It is to be hoped that the committee behind this orchestra will have a successful campaign to make the future financiallv safe for this National Symphony Orchestra, ‘The overture to Beethoven's “Egmont” opened yesterday's program. It was very well played. The contrasting soft- ness of the romantic passages with the sharp feud theme in the “Romeo and Juliet” music of Tschaikowsky, which followed, was unusually well brought out. A charmingly vague parvane, “Pour une Enfant Defunte,” which has been presented here previously by chamber orchestra in ballet form, writ- ten by Maurice Ravel, was given with fine sense of tone color values. { " Probably the most popular of all INSTALL A QUIET MAY NOW!

It is writ- ten for muted strings principally, and is very melodious. The audience ap- plauded it with particular heartiness and, had the program not been delayed in starting, it would have been quite in keeping to repeat it. This work has the same delightful quality of fantasy that Rimsky-Korsskoff’s equally brief “Bee” possesses. The revival gusto of Wagner's over- ture to “Rienzi” was most appropriate for the finale and left the audience ex- tremely enthused. The least attractive interpretations of the afternoon were e two “Hungarian Dances” by Brahms. They seemed to strain too much for artistic effect and lost in consequence the vigor and dashing, im- petuous swing that are features of this gypsy music. Contrary to the announced prime aim of this orchestra, there was no American composition presented on this program. H. F.

Cecile Littlefleld’s singing of the fa- miliar “Caro Mio Bon” opened the pro- gram with a high standard of singing that was sustained throughout the hour. The first chorus was “Santa Lucia.” Mrs. Howard's introductory notes added much to create a fitting atmos- phere for each number. Margery Brockett sang the troubador's song, “Robin Loves Me,” in a delightful man- ner. Helen Newmeyer's singing of an aria from the first opera, “Orpheus and Eurydice,” and the gay “My Lover Is a Muleteer” was a joy to hear.
