THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. JULY 31, 1910. LONG SEARCH FOR MUG ENDED Murder Suspect. Found Hiding Under Sink After Great 11,000-Mile Chase. THIRD DEGREE USELESS Relentless Hunt for Alleged Slayer of Alma Kellner Leads From Louisville to San t'arncisco. Quarry Protests Innocene. SAX FRANCISCO, July 30. Dragged from beneath a sink in the washroom of a Third-street lodging-houte In this city, where lie had been crouched for 24 hour?, Joseph A. Wendllng. accueied of the brutal murder of little Alma Kellner, of Louis ville, Ky., and whose turnings have baf fled the police for four months, was ar rested today by Detectives Burke and rtyan of the local police department. Wendllng admitted his identity but protests his innocence of the crime. A few hours after the arrest. Captain of Detectives J. P. Carney, of Louisville, arrived here to learn that his ll.COO-mile search for Wendllng had been crowned with success, for it was the final tele graphed description to the Kentucky de tective that led to the arrest of Wendllng. In his relentless pursuit of the supposed murderer, Carney many times lort the trail, but the secret of the whereabouts of his quarry always lay unconsciously with Mr Cora Muena, a milliner of Hunje, Mo., and it was from her home that Carney flashed the information that led to his arrest here. l'riiier Klanee tilves Clew. It seemed the Irony of fate that the only respectable woman connected with Wendllng during his wanderings- should have been the unconscious means of betraying him. Mrn. Muena met Wend llng at the home of her aunt in Houston. Tex., and before she returned to her home in H'ime she was engaged to the dashing yoiiig Frenchman, who dazzled the aunt with tales of his foreign estates and the wealth in France which would come to him with the death of bis aged father. Before Mrs. Muena left Houston she grew to fear Wendllng and after .her return to Hume she broke the engage ment. Trail Found and Lost In Texas. When Carney received the clew that Wendllng was working for a grocer in Houston, ha began a long search which led h(m to every county seat in. Texas. When he reached Houston he found that Wendllng had fled to San Antonio, where he had secured a position on a ranch 12 miles from that town. A trip to the ranch proved abortive, as the hunted man had fled, leaving some of his effects be hind. Here Carney lo.-t the trail and return ing to Houston he sent a decoy letter to Mrs. Muena asking for the address of Henry Jacquemln, the name assumed by Wendllng when he left Louisville. The reply. Intercepted by Carney, informed him that his prey was in Los Angeles. The detective captain's trip to Los An geles proving fruitless, he returned to San Antonio, where he found that Henry Picard. a friend of Wendllng. had re ceived a pos'al card from the fugitive. This communication, written In French, was postmarked Rio Vista. Soent Becomes Cold. Abandoning his Texas hunting ground, Carney came immediately to thia city, where he secured the assistance of the H'al detective bureau. Accompanied by Detective Contln. he went to Rio Vista, hut their man had flown, leaving behind him. however, his name on the payroll of a company which was building jetties along the Sacramento River. Then the trail again became so cold that Carney determined to visit Mrs. Muena at her home in Hume. He reached there just in time to pre vent the destruction of a postal which gave the address of Wendllng In Val Ic.lo. Cal. Mrs. Muena had destroyed her other correspondence with her whilom lover and was on the point of burning the postal when the Louisville official arrived. When the address was flashed to San Francisco. Dectectlve Burke was at once sent to Vallejo. In tiie possession of Alice Miller, with whom Wendllng had been living; he found his photo graph and a complete kit of burglar's tools. A further search of the place led to the discovery of many articles which had been taken from the resi dence of Thomas Saunders, which had been broken into and robbed three times. This was the house formerly Dccupied by Charles Wideman. for whom Wendllng worked as gardner. Strange Double Baffles. Wendllng was soon traced to this city, but the detectives were thrown off the track by a strange double, who left a suitcase In a deserted house in the North Beach foreign quarter. The death by his own hand of this suspect two days ago again left the detectives without the scent, but they caught it again when Captain of Detectives Wall received a tip Thursday night that the fugitive was in a Third-street lodging house. The number given proved to be a vacant lot. next door, however, was a lodging house frequented by laboring men. Mrs. Mary Morlarlty, the owner of the house declared that a man answering Wendling's description had been there but had left a few days be fore. The detectives were still suspicious and after watching the house for 24 hours. determined this morning to make a search. Their efforts were re warded by the discovery of Wendllng crouching beneath the sink of a wash room. Dragged forth, he did not make the slightest resistance, and. "when the bullet wound in his hand and the tat tood ship on his arm were exposed by his captors, he readily admitted his identity. Wendllng Maintains Innocence. On the arrival of the detectivs with Wendllng at the city prison. Chief of Police Martin and District Attorney Kickert were summoned. With the de tectives these two officials remained closeted for an hour with the prisoner He protested his Innocence of the Kell ner murder, declaring that he knew nothing of it until he read of the find ing of the body. Wendllng maintains that he had adopted the name of his mother to avoid his brother-in-law Louis Arnold, who had pursued him from France to make him marry Madeline Arnold. That the bitterness between the two men had grown since the marriage un til he feared for his life, was the story clung to by Wendllng in explaining hi flight. Third Degree of No Avail. Although the two men had never met before. Wendllng greeted Captain Carney by name when the Louisville police chief entered hie cell this after noon. W'endlingr told Carney that he would not resist extradition and the latter said he would start for home with his prisoner as soon as he rested from his strenuous chase. A delay by a train wreck of one day on his re turn from Hume kept Carney from be ing present at the arrest and he waa 50 miles from this city when Wendllng was captured. According to Captain Carney the evi dence against Wendling- is very strong. The strongest link was the discovery of some of the girl's bloody clothing in a closet in Wendling's home. This with other circumstantial evidence brought before the coroner's and grand juries, will, in the opinion of the Louis ville police chief, send Wendllng to the gallows. Wendllng is smooth shaven and had a healthy tan. He was the coolest one concerned in his arrest. A second sweating planned for this afternoon was declared off at the request of Car ney, who declared that there was no chance of "breaking him down. MADRIZ FILES PROTEST SAYS YACHT HORNET CONVERT ED INTO WAR VESSEL. Violation of Neutrality Laws in In. tercst of Estrada Alleged by Nicaraguan Ruler. WASHINGTON. July 30. Counsellors for the Madriz government in Nicaragua, acting under cable instructions from Managua, today filed formal protests with this Government against the sailing of the yacht Hornet, commonly reported to have been bought for the Estrada revolu tionists at Norfolk last week, and de manded an examination of the vessel, which is now en route to New Orleans. The Department of Justice, it is un derstood, has instructed United States Attorney Batle at New Orleans to take whatever steps may appear to be neces sary fox the protection of the neutrality laws before clearance papers are issued to the Hornet. The Department of Com merce and Labor in the same protest has been asked not to clear the ship and the State Department has been reminded of the case of the Alabama, of Civil War fame.
