CAROL-SINGER’S CRIME.
BENEFACTOR SMOTHERED. NEW YEAR’S EVIE MURDER. London, May 31. A tragic story of misplaced philanthropy was told in Court at Berlin during the trial of three carol-singers far ithe murder of a tailor named. Albach. 'Singing “Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men,” the youths, on Christmas Eve, delighted the inhabitants of a court- 1 yard in Charlottenburg, where Albach lived. The tailor feasted the singers and gave one a suiit of clothes to replace the rags he wore.
The cupidity of the caroilers was excited, and they returned on New Year’s Eve. Being again entertained they stayed late, and when their host fell asleep they suffocated him with pillors. They searched the house for money in vain, and then stole rolls of cloth, which they sold. They left clues by which they were subsequently traced.
