To those who have maliciously persecuted and killed me, for them I pray God's forgiveness. "ALBERT WOLTER." Although Wolter was convicted on cir- i oumstantlal evidence, tha Court of Appeals, reviewing the case after a series of legal delays, declared he was fairly tried and Justly convicted. Ruth Wheeler met her death on March 24, 1910, In Wolter's apartment on the fourth floor ot a house on East Seventy-fifth street, New York, where she bad gone to seek employment aa a stenographer. Her charred body was discovered subsequently. The evidence Indicated that the glrL had come to her death by strangulation and burning, after having been mistreated.

The body had been thrust into a fireplace, where it was partly burned and concealed until It became convenient to remove It In a bag to the fire escape, from which It was thrown to the ground below. Wolter admitted that he wrote the postal card which led Ruth Wheeler to visit his apartment, and In a book kept by him was found. In her handwriting, an entry of her name and address. A hat-Pin and a ring which she had worn on the morning of her disappearance were found in the fireplace, and in a house to which Wolter bad moved on the following day, was discovered an umbrella which the girl was known to have had with her when she left home. Wolter claimed ho had never seen the Wheeler girl, and that he was not at home until late In the afternoon on the day the crime was committed.

He sought to account for the entry of the girl's name In his book by saying he wrote It there at the dictation of a man named Fred A liner, who was desirous of starting a school of shorthand, and told him he was going to engago Ruth Wheeler. No one could be found to testify as to the existence of Ahner. Wolter was found guilty and was sentenced to be executed on June 6, 1910, but this was stayed by au appeal. Although the law allows but six months In which to argue such an appeal, the case did not reach the Court of Appeals until December 4, 1911. The court affirmed th Judgment of conviction within ten days.

When Lashlnsky left the court he said Unable to Gain Admittance, Now Has Chance to Purge Self of Contempt, Jacob Scholl, a Judgment debtor, who was refused admission into Raymond street jail last week because he was so derelict a3 to go there with a deputy sheriff after hours, appeared before Judge Fawcett this morning with Jacob Brenner, attorney for Sheriff Law, and he was made happy as the result of the visit. Mr. Brenner wanted to know why Scholl was kept out with Deputy Sheriff Hamm and the judge concluded that things happening as they did it might be well to give Scholl a few months to purge himself of contempt and thus escape goiug to Jail at all.

On Tuesday Judge Fawcett committed Scholl for contempt of court and, after an unavailing attempt to find a bondsman, he was taken down to the Jail by Hamm, who, has been a deputy only since January 1. The two got there about 7 o'clock In the evening. At the time The Eagle told what happened and how Mr. Brenner haled the Department of Corrections into court to explain why the Sheriff of Kings County was kept out of his own Jail, simply because part of It has been turned over to the department. The explanation was made before Judge Fawcett In chambers today and, afterward, the judge said it was all straightened out.
