A MURDER MYSTERY.
The Story Told by FrAil Lucy Berry--Is
1t True3

The Story Told by FrAil Lucy Berry--Is
1t True2
MAssILLoN, O., December 21.-A con-
fessiOn has been made by girl known
as L .cy Berry, for more than a year an
inmate Of MIR. Ann Peffer's house Of i'll
fame In this city, which Is almost GER
tain to lead to solution of the mystic
rious death of Fred. Watkins, who was
fOully murdered at Volcano, village
near Parkersburg, West Virginia, several
years ago. An epitOme of the girls
story is that the wife of Watkins, q
hired man and herself murdered Wat
kins, threw the body into cIstern, and
after 1t had remained there for several
days, 1t was taken out and deposited In
a clump Of underground not far from
the residence Of the murdered man. The
decomposed body of Watkins was found
accidentally few days later by the Ber-
ry girl and q neighbor woman who
str0lled that way hunting dande.i ms.
Phe mystery surrounding the death has
never been solved, and probably never
would have been had not Lucy Berry en-
tiCed away the husband Of Mrs. PETER,
and out Of revenge her former mistress
made public the grave secret cOnfded to
her.
A correspondence by telegraph with
the chief Of police at Parkersburg to day
established the facts here Of the murder
and the former residence Of the girl at
the place where 1t was committed.
The Berry girl was at Canton on Sat
urday found guilty Of living In q state
Of adultery with the husband of Mrs.
Peffers, living In house OF i'll fame and
breach Of the peace, and sent to jail for
ten days. The clew thus obtained prom.
ises fruitful developments.
ALRE OF CRIME AND SHAME.
A lengthy interview was had to-day
with Madame PETER, to whom the girl
Lucy Berry confessed that she assisted
In the murder of Fred Watkins, of Vol
Cano, near Psrkersburg, W. Va, several
years ago. The girl, who is but twenty
years old, gave as reason for admit
ting her guilt that she could not sleep
at night and constantly saw, while
alone, the decomposed, CHASTITY features
Of their victim. According to her
own story, as Mrs. PETER relates
that she told 1t, the girl has
had q remarkably checkered career
In life and crime. She says that while
living In sporting house at Parkers-
burg, kept by Mrs. Spencer, the daugh-
ter Of the landlady gave birth to an IL
legitimate child and that she and Mrs.
Spencer threw 1t into the river. Also
that she became q mother at Marietta,
o., while living In Mrs. Armstrong;
house, and that her landlady disposed of
the offspring. She also stole q gold
watch at Parkersburg for the theft Of
which suspicion rested upon a c0lored
woman named johnson. The girl went
here under the name of Florence Max
well, and has been In the fast life pro.
fession at GAINESVILLE, Uhrichsville and
other places, probably under the same
assumed name
A dispatch was received to-day by Oh
Ger Hagsn from the chief Of police at
Parkersburg to hold the girl, all the de-
tails Of the murder as narrated by her
being strictly correct.
