MURDER And ARSON
Planned by c Boy, who Makes q
Startling Confession.
TEMPTED BY ANOLD MANS MONEY.
an Alleged Confederate Locked Up.
Tho Plot Involved the Killing of
Aged Mr.. whitman and His Sister
and the Burning ofthcir Home.

NEW YoRK, Sept. IA bold and
well laid plan to rob and probably
murder two persons in the village of
Smithtown Branch, Suffolk county, L.
l., was frustrated Sunday night by an
intelligent local deputy sheriff.
Near the Landing, as it is called, on
smithtown creek, is the home Of Mr..
Treadwell Whitman, who is over sew
enty years of age and reputed to be
wealthy. With him lives u sister, who
is about the same age.
1t has been common rumor for years
past in the neighborhood that old
Mr.. Whitman kept considerable sums Of
money in the house, and his neighbors
have often discussed the probability OF
his being made the victim OF robbers.
The capture OF u man in the house on
Sunday night, who has confessed that
murder and robbery were his object,
and the story of the plan to carry out
his intention, shows that the rumors OF
Mr.. Whitman's boarded wealth had
reached the ears OF men who were de.
sperate enough to resort murder and
arson II necessary to secure the money.
TIE SUSPICIOUS LOOKING STRANGER.
Smithtown Branch is little moro than
a hamlet, and the advent OF stranger
excites attention. A young man arrived
there on Wednesday evening Of last
week on the train, reaching the place at
hali-past seven o'clock from Brooklyn
and Long Island City, and Immediately
began making inquiries regarding the
location OF Mr.. Ireadwcll Whitman's
house. Mrs. Z. NJ. Hawkins, Of whom
he made some inquiries, notified her
ncighber, Deputy Sheriff John Hand
shaw.
Nothing more was seen or heard OF
the stronger until Sunday evening,
when train from Brooklyn arrived a
few minutes after nine o'clock. Then
Deputy Sheriff Handshaw saw him
alight from the train. Evidently not
sure OF the direction he should take,
the man stopped at Mr.. Handshaw's
house and inquired the way to the
Whitman place. Mrs. Handshaw gave
him the desired Information, and when
her husband returned, a few minutes
later, told him about it.
Handshaw Immediately jumped at
the conclusion that old Mr.. Whitman
was in danger, aud in company with
man who works on his farm started for
the Whitman place, reaching it about
half past ten o'clock. They saw that
the front door was wide open, and
knowing that it was not Mr.. Whitman's
custom to retire TO bed leaving the
doors open, they proceeded to inyesti-

Sheriff Handshaw's prompt action in
following Van. Name on Sunday night
they would have been murdered and
robbed. The affair has excited alarm,
not only among the residents of Smith
town, but in the nearby villages, and
the local banks will probably have
many new depositors in the next few
days. There have been many robberies
in the neighborhood OF st. Johnland
since the hundreds Of laborers Of oil
nRtionalities, and many of them Of
low and desperate character, have been
employed at the county farm.

As Handshaw, closely followed by his

figure of a man, and made a jump for

look after sale the boys gathered around to
look after some apples. There was trouble
right away. Some OF the boys were smoking
cigarettes. and in tho row about tho push cart
1t is supposed that somehow cigarette spark
reached the blasting powder. Any way. there
was an explosion. and after the explosion
there was NO push cnrt full of apples. and no
soda water bottle full Of powder. Tho apples
were scattered and the push cart bottle. and
All the boys in the .nelghborhood were cut
