No Change in Policy Toward Korea. Those closest to the throne say that the emperor is deeply affected by the assassination of the prince.

I.. murderer, may have a bet- fer claim on the title “Blucbeard” than the one nurder would warrant. accord- ing to a statenient made tonight by Camtain -Coughlan of the B"ooklvn detective force. Two other mysterious murders of women.are to be investi- gated before the prisoner is put to plea on trial for his life, and inwiew of his uncertain matrimonial career the po- lice believe that two and possibly three additional cases where women myste- riously disappeared will be cleared up. » It was reported today that the pris- oner had confessed to the coroner that he had killed two other women. but this could not be confirmed. The cor- oner would not comment on the mat- ter, but Captain Coughlan said: “Gebhardt admitted enough to put several new clues at our command, and we hope to get further admissions from him as soon as we have followed these clues ap.” According to the police, Gebhardt served nine years in Sing Sing for swindling a New York woman out of $340 on a promise of marriage. He went to priSon under the name of Scharferlein in 1896 and was released in 1905. At the time of his trial for this offense it was shown that he al- ready had a wife in New York and also at least one wife living in Ger- many. The prisoner is said to have operated under six aliases, while other marriages as yet not proved absolutely figure in his record. His career, par- ticularly since his release from prison, is being looked into by detectives.
