Los Angeles, April 9 (P)—An eight | vear old murder mystery w be- | licved partially solved today, with announcement that Otto Sanhuber, | alias M. Klein, had confessed shoot- | ing Fred Oesterrcich, wealthy ga ment manufacturer, in the latter's Los Angeles home. After the shooting it was declared, Sanhuber retired to a secret com- | partment of the house. which he had built, and lived there for 11 months while police investigated the slaying. sanhuber, 35 years old, said he “had hecome particularly attached” to Mrs. Walburga Oesterreich, » widow of the victim, when he 17 years | old and the principals in the.case lived in Milwaukee. When the Oesterreichs moved to Los Angeles, he is declared to have | confessed he came here also. and lived in sccret compartments in the couple’s homes, built by himself dur- ing the husband's absence. | Sanhuber, arrested Monday on | suspicion of murder, last night was | said by James Costello, deputy dis- trict attorney to have confessed that | he shot Oesterrcich on the night of | August 22, 1922, when he believed | that Mrs. Oesterreich was being hurt | during a quarrel with her husband. | Sanhuber said he was resting in the sccret compartment in the attic when he heard the couple come in | and start quarreling. Badly Frightened “I thought Mrs. Oesterreich was | being killed,” he said. “I grabbed | my little pistol and ran from the room. When he faced me, 1 fired. T ran back upstairs and went to the little room. T was Stift with fright.” The deputy district attorney an- nounced that the arrest of othet persons implicated in the slaying was momentarily expeeted. Sanhuber's confession climaxed & revived investigation of the murder inspired by an affidavit filed by IHerman Shapiro, attorney, in which he asserted that Mrs. Ocster- | reich, who was arrested and held for necarly two years on suspicion of murder, had told him that her “vagabond half brother” was living in the secret compartment. Shapiro said he later met San- huber, known to him as Walter | Kicin, after he had scratched on the wall of the house as a signal for the man to come from the compart- | ment. Klein, the attorney alleged, | later told him that he had lived in the secret Foom for two months he- fore the slaying and that had slain Qesterreich. After the shooting Mrs. Qesterreich imprisoned in a clothes closet, the door of which was locked from the outside. Eleven months later, after a man told police that Mrs. Osterreich had ven him a gun to throw away, she was arrested and charged with th murder of her hushand. Investi tors never were able to solve mystery of the locked closet door. | however, and after holding the woman under technical arrest for nearly two years, the case against her was dismissed. Shapiro in his affidavit alleged | that Sanhuber (Klein) told him that after shooting Ocsterreich, he shoy- ed Mrs. Oesterreich into the closet | and locked the door. Sanhuber when arrested was em- he police found the | house. He was married six years| ago. | “The only thing I'm worried abont | now is how I'm going to explain this to my wife,” Sanhuber said. “I'm sorry for her. but I'm glad its over and 1 feel much better about H{ Mirs.

The empress became seriously ill a fortnight ago, the dispatch said. She allowed nobody but the priests to attend her. They prescribed a bath, and furnished holy water for the ablution.

Hart at the pian his organ fugue was transcribed for twice Mrs. | piano and-played by Walter L. Mag- nuson; his Minuet in I for piano was also played by Mr. Magnuson. The anthem was impressive in its and churchliness; the fugue a remarkable one in largeness of design. its flowing and intricate counterpoint, and its general effec the minuct exposition of melodic and musicianly treatment. Mr. Spencer was loud in his praises for the able manner in which his compositions were performed. and was called upon for a short address. His former pupil, Mr. Hahn, fol- lowed with five compositions from Lis own store, consisting of the in- troduction and two slow movements from his orchestral suite, “To a Child,” which has been broadcast three times, once over a NBC net; and the first two movements from rew suite yet unnamed, which was given with violin and piano. The “To a Child” selectiéns were presented by a quintet consisting of Caroline Barsch, Marcus 11, Fleit Adolph Sundell, viola; Wal- “tecllo, and Charles A. with Mr. Hahn con ducting.
