They want certainty. Alta conference
between Mr.. Ben Tillett, the labor agita-
tor, and some of the Congregational clergy
men working in the East End of London,
Mr.. Tillett said that the working people
were easily reached by religious influences
if the clergymen approached them in
common-sense way. But he was very en-
phatic upon the futility of the promise of
future rewards. The rewards must be
promised on earth.
Some people don't know a good thing
when they see it. 1t is related that
green clerk in a large crockery store in
Buffalo sold a plate that was marked S125
to female customer for s1.25. The first
sum was the price per dozen. Great was
the dismay of the clerk when the mistake
was discovered. But all's well tina. ends
well. The day after the mistake was
made in came the customer with the $40
plate. She didn't like the plate-didn't
think it was quite good enough. She
wanted something better. She was ac-
commodated with 50 plate.

YOUNG Su|NEY's CONFESSION.
Cherry Hill Thinks He Has Signed
His Death Warrant.
In Accusing James Lyons lie Has
Made "a Case Against Himself.

Cherry Hill now believes that Michael
siiney has signed his own death warrant.
Until he accused james Lyons, In his con-
fession to Inspector Byrnes, OF the murder Of
Robert Lyons, most people believed either
that sliney was innocent or that he could not
be proven guilty.
He now says that Lyons was killed by his
own brother James, that he (slIncy) saw the
deed committed, and that he Kept silent about
the crime because James Lyons PROMISED him
$4,000 hush money.
After leaving Robert Ly0ns's butcher shop
on that fatal afternoon, so his confession
runs, he suddenly remembered that lie
wanted to borrow Roberts dress suit to wear
that evening and went back to the shop to
ask for It.
just as he catered the place he saw Robert
and James IN the passageway between the
shop and the Kitchen, the latter Just In the
! act OF dealing the death blow WITH the
cleayer and saying:
"There, - you, youll never call her that
name again"
AS the murdered man fell q red-fuced young
man who was with James turned and en-
| claimed:
"My God, there is Mickey SliLey."
Then James caught hold OF Mickey and
made the bargain FOR silence, promising TO
| pay the money rs soon as he came In posses
sion OF 1t, the death OF his brother making
him sole heir to his fathers wealth.
Sliney thus supplied motive for the MUIR
der. which was apparently lacking on his
part. and also gave what he probably thought
was plausible excuse for his having hereto
fore remained silent when accused Of the
murder himself. Even II this story can be
proven true, which appears very doubtful,
sliney will still be liable to punishment Us IN
accessory after the fact
But 1t is pointed out that there are many
discrepancies in his story. The only thing he
makes clear Is that the murder was coul.
mitted In the passageway. The blood spots
there bear him out In that.
| He does not, however, account for the nott
with which the boy was decoyed away, leaving
him alone with Robert Lyons-the note writ
ten in red Ink, bottle OF which was found II
| his house, tho handwriting similar to his. anC
| the paper the same as that on which his bill
heads are printed-the most damaging evi
dence against him.

long before without writing or telegrsphing
to his parents, and they were partially pre-
pared for the shocking news when 1t came.
"TnE WORLDS FIRST CLUE.
The frst clue upon which The WORLD re
porters started their Investigations was
the waistband OF tho trousers belonging
to the bomb-thrower, the buttons on which
were labelled Brooks, Boston," 1t was
found that there was only one tailor by this
name In Boston-Walter c. Brooks & Co,
OF MIX street. IT was also found that the
cloth correspondent exactly with roll OF
goods In stock which had been received by
Mr.. Brooks in septt mber last, and from
which only one pair OF trousers had been cut.
These trousers were made for Norcross,
who had been customer Of the flrm for sew
eral years, ard was well known to all the
statesmen In their store.
Other pieces OF the clothing Of the dyna-
inter were identified by the tailor as having
been made by him. when last seen at the
tailor's store Norcross wore no beard, but II
was afterwards ascertained that he had be-
gun to grow beard about three weeks be-
fore he left Bos' on.
CoRRoBoRATBD AT HIS HOME.
visit to his home In Somerville led to the
Identification OF the scraps Of clothing by the
mother OF Norcross, who fully corroborated
the testimony given by the tailor, and
strengthened 1t In many respects, rendering
the identification absolutely conclusive.
The photograph OF the dynamiters head
was shown to several OF Norcross's friends In
Somerville. They all recognized 1t immedi-
ately. George s. Tolman, Of winthrop,
said;
al you had brought that picture to me
without word, should have said 1t was a
picture OF Norcross."
HIS MOTHER KNRw HIS CLOTHES.
When the scraps Of clothing worn by the
bomb-thrower were shown to Mrs. Norcross,
the mother, she az once identified the piece Of

Mrs. Meier svUre that she saw Sliney run
from Lyons's store, and that she also saw Z
tall red-iacnd man leave II few minutes
later. But that was after the crowd had aB-
scmbled.
Slincy now says he saw James Lyons talk
Ing with a tall red-faced man three days be-
fore the murder. and that James then asked
for some writing paper and that he gave him

OF COAT.
Everything saw at the Morgue points to
the conclusion that the man was Henry Nor.
cross. He had splendid teeth, q retreating
forehead, and Q straight, prominent nose.
He also had beard which was only Of few
weeks growth.
"Then in the head was the striking fore
head and nose and the hair. The contour OF
the face is unmistakable. The cheeks were
somewhat swollen, and there were some con-
tusions that had disrgured the face. The
beard and the eyes were very natural
~ am as positive as man can be under the
circumstances that the head is that OF Nor
cross"
HIS FRIENDS DESCRIPTION.
Mr.. Howes says that Norcross was not
nervous man, nor was he ever anything OF a
crank. He is amazed that his friend should
be In any way connected with such an ap-
palling deed.
"He was always pleasant and his habits
were scrupulously correct. In dress he was
neat and showed excellent taste, but was not
extravagant."
SoRcRoss's PHOTOGRAPH.
The photograph OF Norcross, which is re-
produced In The EVENING WORLD, shows
him without his beard. 1t was taken several
years ago, but It shows the general charac-
teristics OF the face OF the dead bomb thrower
In most striking manner.
The forehead, hair and nose are the exact
counterparts OF those OF Norcross.
IssASITY IN SoRCRoss's FAMILY.
1t is said that there has been insanity In the
Norcross family, and that the grandfather OF
Henry Norcross went crazy very suddenly
Just previous to his death.
Norcross had been employed In several
Boston banks, and just prior TO going into
business for himself he was In the employ OF
+. A. Moseley Il Co., brokers, on state street,
Boston.

MlRTH LOCKED HIS JAWS.
Whose Maketh Billows Smile Again
May Be Indicted for Murder


The next man who causes an expansive
smile to appear on the countenance of Albert
T. Billows, OF 855 Wythe avenue, Williams
burg, will stand a chance OF being indicted
for manslaughter.
Arthur was immensely tickled by his sue
cess at card-playing last night, and laughed
long and loud at the discontinue OF his op-
ponent in the game, william Barry.
In the midst OF his mirth he suddenly
clapped both hands to his face. The cachinna-
tion ceased, but the expression OF mirth was
still stamped upon his countenance and was
In marked contrast to q panied and frightened
look that had crept into his eyes.
He had laughed his jaw out OF place, and he
sat there with his mouth wide open while
Barry went for q doctor. The latter dag
nosed the case as one OF lockjaw, and sent
Billows to the Eastern District Hospital,
where 1t took surgeon two hours to reduce
the disloCati0n.
Billows has foresworn card playing, and
will hereafter spend his leisure moments
visiting graveyards In order to prevent re-
Currence OF mirthful feelings.

HENRY L. NORCR0sS.
(From photograph taken eight years ago.
The Identification, which has within the
past twelve hours been established beyond
the slightest doubt, Is due entirely to the
efforts of reporters Of THE WORLD, who have
been persistently following clues for the past
week. In TEE WOMB of this morning they
describe the manner IN which the truth about
the bomb-thrower has been finally brought
TO light.
No more positive or certain proof that the
CHASTITY head at the Morgue IL that OF Henry
l.. Norcross could be found than that which Is
furnished by The WORLDS reporters. The
clothing which was worn by the bomb
thrower has been identified, both by the
Boston tailor who made his garments and by
Norcross's father and mother.
The evidence Of the aged mother is particu-
'slrly conclusive, as she has pointed out in the
faps OF cloth which were shown to her
seral places where she had herself mended
