That when he was shot by Fan his father exclaimed to her, "Why did you shoot George?' She responded, Because had to- and they both ran down stairs. He says he did not tell this at the trial because he wanted to shield his father, who told him conviction WAS impossible under the circumstances.

FIRE RECORD.

Factory on FIre-Several of the Panic
 Stricken Employees Injured.
 NEW YORK, June 20.-A fire broke out this evening in the Elm flour mills owned by the A. H. Hart company, situated on Eleventh avenue, near Fifty seventh street. About five hundred employees were at work in the building, three hundred of them being girls, most of whom were employed on the upper floors of the large building. The fire alarm gong in the factory was beaten to give an alarm to the inmates and an alarm was also promptly sent to the fire department box at the corner. The noise and the sight of the flames caused panic among the employees and a wild rush was made for the stairs By the vigorous efforts of the fremen several were prevented from throwing themselves from the windows and most of the employees escaped in safety. Several were injured, however. The most severely injured are Lizzie Kimpey, aged 16, and Louisa Me NichoI. aged twenty, who were prostrated by the smoke and trampled upon in the first stampede. They were taken to hospitals. One man jumped from window and landed on his head, but was removed by friends and his name or condition were not ascertained. All the rest of the injured are likely to re cover

 PHnApELPHIA, June 20.-This morning the skeletons of six infants were found by detectives in the cellar of the dwelling 2,243 North Fifth street, formerly occupied by Dr. Isaac Hathaway.

The exposure was made by relative of the doctors with whom he had an alter cation on Wednesday, during which the relative was badly beaten.

This morning the relative called on the chief of police and informed him that a number of bodies were buried in the cellar of the house.
