THE DYNAMITE MURDER.
One Hundred and Seventy Victims
-ThOmassenss AtrOci0us Plot.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-A Herald special
cable from London says: Thomassen,
the passenger on the Mosel and owner OF
the cask of dynamite, which caused the
terrible disaster at Bremerhaven, has
confessed his guilt, saying he has ac-
completes in New York. 1t is hoped
thai he will recover so that full particu-
lars of his crime can be obtained.
The Weser Zeitung, of Bremen, says,
authoritatively, that IL Is proved beyond
a doubt that Thomassen was the au-
thor of the catastrophe. He has ac-
knowledged that he intended to place a
barrel Of dynamite ON the Mosel for the
purpose OF destroying her some days
after she should leave Southampton.
The motive for this diaboTical scheme
appears to have been to procure exag-
share the profits afterwards with others.
The bullet has not yet been extracted
from his head, but he is quite con-
scious.
The barrel had been prepared OF strong
material and divided into compartments.
Another barrel has been discovered,
which, it is presumed, was Intended for
apparatus to ignite. Thomassen was
to land at Southampton, where the goods
were to be shipped. The apparatus
would then be adjusted by clock work,
so that it should be ignited after the
vessel got to sea from Southampton. 1t
had been intended that the Deutschland
should have carried the hellish machine,
but it was not ready at the time.
| It is now shown that the humber OF
victims by the explosion is much larger
| than at first reported. The killed and
wounded number one hundred and sew
enty. Thomassen was sborn in New
| York. He lived In Virginia during tht
war. From 1862 to 1865, he was engaged
| In running blockade,.by which he be
came wealthy. Since 1866 he has re
sided in Germany. Tuesday night. hi
again attempted suicide by tearing Of
the dressing placed over the .pisto
wound, but was prevented by his at
| tendants.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Nothing ha

One gentleman observed to another !:

York, and l never saw one OF them."
"W ere you ever blindw "Ol no." re-
piled the other. A further lapse of time,
and then the interrogation resumed the
subject. .sDid understand you to say
that you had wife and six children liv-
ing in New York, and that you had never
seen one OF themr eyes, such is the
fact" Here followed still longer pause
in the conversation, when the interroga-
tor, fairly puzzled, said: "How can it be
that you never saw one OF them?"

Belle Malott, a pleasant-teatured wo-
man about twenty-one years of age, tells
damaging tale against Mr. Louis Kit
tering, foreman of Messrs. Evans q Kin
ney's slaughter-house, at the stock
yards. She states that about two years
ago she went to live In Kittering's FAM
lily as a domestic, and that she has lived
with him as his mistress since that time
until quite recently.
OF late he has abused her most shame
fully and practically driven her into the
street. She procured work and bought
some furniture, and is now living with
her mother at 21 Oliver street. Previous
to her being discarded lshe represented
TO her mother that she WIS the lawful
wife Of Kittering. Last August he pro-
cured a marriage license blank aud In
