BERNeR's STORY TO A REPORTER.
Induced by Jail Officials 10 Make
CnnEnAAinn of Murder.

InducGd by Jail Officials TO Make n
Confession of Murder.
c LUMHUs, O., March 80 -Berner said to
a pI ess reporter that he was induced to
make his confession Of deliberate murder
by parties around the Jail who told him I
he confessed he might get free. This was
before he had engaged lawyer. Afterward
he had four attorneys and their chief aim
on the trial was to destroy the effect OF the
confession he had made. They we're sue
cessful in this, and by technicalities sue
ceeded in prscucally Keeping the confession
out OF the evidence in the case. Tom
Campbell Of Cincinnsti, was the leading
lawyer Of the four and 10 his efforts was
due the fact that Berner was convicted only
OF manslaught.r instead of murder in the
first degree Caricatures OF Campbell of
nature 10 arouse preiudices an: ilctte in
dienation against him were circulated in
Cincinnati yesterday and have been posted
in Columbus to-day. Berner's associate in

DEATH FROM CHAMBERS,
A Fatal Case Of Disease Communicated
From Horse 10 Man,


HARTFORD, Conn, March 3O.-The med
icsl profession Of Connection, sre deeply
interested in case OF human ganders,
which has resulted in death, and, as there
has long been a dispute regarding the pos
sibility of death from the disease when
communicated from beast 10 man, the case
will probably attract wide notice. Two
weeks ago Orriu S. Todd, farmer living
in Tolland, purchased horse. Believing
the horse had a cold, lie proceeded to treat
il in various ways. One OF his methods
was 10 blow smoke in the horses nostrils.
This caused the animal TO sneeze, blowing
PARTICLES of muCus into Todds face.
A week or 30 ago Todd WIS taken SICK.
Tie symptoms we're at first believed to be
these of neumonia. Later they assumed
those of rheumatism, being followed by
swelling OF the joints and the breaking out
of the face with pimples or bllsters and
dIs charges from the nostrils. DIR. john
son, OF Mansfield, bad charge OF the case,
sDd was satisfied that il was an actual case
OF gianders communicated from the horse.
A consultation of physicians was held
fsy or so ego, and the verdict was the
same az found by Or. Johnson. Medical
aid WAS unavailing and the sufferer died
Yesterday after terrible suffering. L1'aI
uEvsiCians ssy that deaths from primlfy
glanders have for some time been known
to the profe sion, but the Todd case estio'

characteristics of ultra glanders in IN N

.cardal involving the fair names OF the

Church in this village, and member OF

persons week ago, but it was kept close
secret, and had not the church been closed
ias, Sundsy it would not probably now be
maGe public. The lady's name is Will
iisms, and her husband has openly de-
DUupced the pastor as a wolf in sheep s
clothing. He claims TO have letter In ms
possession which he found in the wor k'oOx
Of his wife, signed by the accused clergy
man, in which Henderson addresses her as
Dearest Emma" and speaks OF the yearn'
ipgs of his heart to see her, and how xhen
ne met her upon the arm of her HUSBAND

With this epistle Mr.. williams, 1t is as,

thereupon kicked and cufed by his sus'
picious psrishioner. ltis asserted that the

There has been much feeling against the

In the city, hiss left his home. The attor-
neys have been quiet, and it is possible
they may be roughly attended to II good

about s P. N. four or FIVE persons were
killed and a. many wounded, including,
as reported, two women on Court street.

above hour occasional shots were dred by
the military to keep the streets clear with

mentioned is one that the Turner's Society
had met at their hall and armed themselves
10 Join the mob. This report is not yeri-
fed. The Germans are most intensely in
,iienant against the Berner verdict. Should
this organization enter the list the most
serious trouble must be expected, as they
are men of such tsnscity of purpose as to
be well feared.
Firing from the HOusetOps.
1915 A. N.-The mob have taken posses
sion of the tops Of houses in the vicinity
of Court and Walnut streets and are hiring
down on the militia in line in front OF the
court house. The crowd has almost en-
tirely fallen back fro m Court street, leay-
ing the street clear 10 Vine. Two men
were carried iato drug store at Court aud
Walnut, ser ously, il not mortslly, wound
ed. Very evidently the backbone OF the
mob is broken.
The two men who were last wounded
and who were taken into tbs drug store
at Court and Walnut street, were Emil
Pferser, q tailor who rooms above the
Yolksblatt office, shot while crossing the
streets on his way home, and VIM. Cooper,
of New Richmond, Ohio, aged twenty.
seven, shot while on his way to take boat
home from the theatre. The militia
seem to be getting entirely demor-
allied in their firing. The Calling
gun in charge of Companies A and b Of
he Fourteenth Regiment, from Columbus,
is being used. The druggist above men
toned telephones that they are yet firing
upon corners aud the mob Is entirely dis
persed. He says that half the bottles on
the shelves of his store are demolished
and other of his stock and fixtures de-
stroyed. There are rs many as two or
three thousand soldiers stationed in
various parts Of the city.
