DEATH OF MARY RoceRs-I noticed s,atemen, in the
Tribune this morning relative confessoa said to
have been made before by the late Mrs Loss which IS
entirely Incorrect such examination took place, nor
could It, from the derapged Of Mrs: Loss mind
Respectfully yours GILBERT MERRITT.
| HoJoken Nov 10, 1912.
We gave the facts as they were told to us by
two Magistrates of this city, and as we understood
them on the authority of statement made by Mr.
Merritt himself 10 Mayor Morris. ''e said moth
ing about any examination of Mrs Loss and
erred in stating that the confession was made to
Mr.. Merritt. That it was made to one we
have little doubt; and we firmly believe that the
| statement we gave embraces the true explanation
of the manner of this unfortunate woman's death.
An examination was held before Justice Lut-
kins, at Jersey City, on Saturday, founded upon
the following affidavit made By Mr. Merritt -
State of Neac..,ey Hudson Co. sa-Personav appeared
before Justice of tue Pence of said County Gilbert MGR.
@ 81 s sea DO @ und o. Thn e MONTH
OF July 1871 he ths depopsutl as magistrate held nm
County of Hudson who this deponent believes mnr-
and this depoEent further saith from Informal
ne mas has bs af bs s1 %
perperated in house al ~eehawkeh called The Nick
Moore House. then kept by one Frederick Loss alias kel
Kelenbarack Charles Keenbarack, and Ossan Kellen-
barack, all three of whom this deponent has 10 be-
eve worthless and proigatr characters and this de-
ponent further saith that he has just believe that
the said and their mother kept OF the depraved
aud debauched houses in jersey and that all OF them
had knowledge Of were accessory and became par
,icipa,ors in the murder Of said Mary Roeer and The
Sworn and subscribed the 18th OF November, 1912, before
me, STEPHEN H. LUTKINs, Justice OK the Peace.
Nothing material was elected as the two sons
of Mrs. Loss-who are represented as most de-
PRAYED and proAgate cbaracters-denied any
knowledge of the matter Mrs. Ludam, the nurse
who attended Mrs. Loss after she was shot by
one of these boys, testified that she was delirous
and raved terribly-talked continually of the ghost
of some female which she imagined to be present.
and would cry out take her away, &C., bat called
no NAME and said nothing about Mary Rogers, at
least in English, though she talked German much
of the time Mrs. Loss once told her that 20 she
was sorry she did not burn the clothes that were
found, as it weud have saved her much trouble. "
It was proved that while their mother was sick
both the boys said, various times, that nhen she
died the great secret ,could come out; and one
of them said he should tell of it. When placed
upon the stand, and asked what they meant by
this great secret, of them, Charles w. Kellen-
barrack, by name, said that all he meant by it was
that his mother, when she died, rould kno,o all
about TIE great secres-tchat became Of the souls
of dead people. The other, named Oscar, said
that the secret he meant was ,chat tcoud cure the
Rheumatism. II will be seen al once that there is
something quite mysterious in this testimony as
in the death of Mary Rogers. The boys were both
discharged, however, as nothing could be made
on, against them. The nvestigation, under
stand will not end here and we repeat our belief
tina, the true explanation of the matter will be
found in the facts we have already published.
