Sweetheart and Mother Induced to Cross Ocean, - Lover Shoots and Kills Mother For Her Money And Tries to Kill Girl -Murderer Escapes. New York, July 20.-Conera1 alarm hs beim sent out by the pOlice of this city and also of New !Jersey fee Gus Eberhard, a grocer's elerk, about 25 years old, who is alleged to be the perpetrator of a peculiarly atrocious inurder committed in the outskirts of Roselle Park, NeT.,, on Saturday night. Details of the Nemo did not rcab the authorities until to -day, thus en- abling the male sought to get a long Matt iu his escape. No trace of him had been found up to a late hour to- night. Eberbarcl came to this country ley- erna years ago front Austria. For a year or more he has been trying to in. cluee his cousin, Ottilie Eberhard, about 20 years old, and her mother to follow him to this country: He had been the girl's sweetheart en the old country and wrote that he was anx- ious to have her and, her mother lo- cate here and that he and Ottilie should marry. Ultimately persuaded to this end, the nother and daughter arrived in this country last Thursday. On Saturday Gus took the woman to the bank where Mrs. Eberhart got her Austrian money exchanged for United States coin, This amounted to some $2,500, being the proceeds of the sale of her dressmaking business in Austria, In the afternoon he said' he would take them for an outing, and they went over to Jersey by the 130th Street ferry. After riding some dis- tance on a trolley, at Gussuggestion, they alightedand proceeded afoot along a road which, Gus told them, would lead to a station whence they would take a train back home, o Sees Mother Fail. While they were walking in single file along a sparsely settled road. M- illie heard two revolver shots. Turn- ing she saw her mother fall. Gus told the girl to run as fast as she could. Thinking he was warning her to flee from possible harm to heiself, she ran, looking back just once when she saw Gus leaning over the body of her mother. She thought he was render- ing her aid.' As she ran, the girl" received three slight woonds from bullets, none of which did serious injury. She ran for a mile to the nearest house. She spoke only German, while the oc- cupants of the . house are Italians: They did not understand her story, but took her to a German family near- by. These people, seeing that she was wounded, put her to bed, and made her comfottable for the night. This morning, when they learned her story, they notified the authorities. In the meantime Mrs. Eberhard's body had beer found near the Susque- hanna Railroad tracks. The $2,500 was missing and the body had evi- dently been placed on 'the railroad tracks and cut in twain. The mur- derer had thus sought to hide the evi- dence of nis crime: Investigation of the circumstances convinced the authorities that Gus had murdered the girl's mother for the purpose of robbery and attempt- ed to kill the girl. Search for the young man 'was at once instituted, but no trace of him oduld be found. A RUNAWAY CAR.
