3 COLUMBUS. O., March 30.-Berner said 10
Pres reporter that he was Induced to
make bis confession Of deliberate murde,
by parties around the Jail who told him Il
he confessed be might get free. This was
before he had engaged a lawyer. After
ward he had tour. attorneys and their chiel
aim on trial was 10 destroy the effect OF the
confession he had made. They were suc.
cessiul in thia, and by technicalities suc
ceeded in practically keeping the conft ,sion
out Of the evidence in the case. Ten
Campbell, Of Cincinnati, was the leading
lawyer Of the four, aud to bis efforts was
due the fact that Berner was convicted
only Of manslaughter instead Of murder in
the first degree. { Carica,ures OF Campbell

indignation against him were circulated ii
