THE BUKOW MURDER.
United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Berlin, Jauury 13.
Sternickel’s fame for eluding the police is almost legendary in Germany. It is the more remarkable because |there is no mystery as to his identity or appearance. A world-wicie search was made in connection with tire Silesian murder, yet Sternickel worked in various places near Berlin, and cultivated, rather than shunned, the police. He was twice arrested, hut escaped by hoodwinking his captors. Accomplices state that Sternickel planned to rob his master, assuring them that no violence would be used. They left without knowing their victim was dead. Sternickel picked a quarrel with hig victims in succession, threw a noose over their heads, and quickly strangled them. He intended to burn the house wherein the girls were locked.
