daughter, who was playing about the
room:
Go up>tair.3 and tell your mamma
that MIR and Mrs. Blank have come tc
call.
The child went, and after awhile re-
tur!rI and began to play again.

Mir. I..anli are here" asked the father
"Hh yc5.'
And what did she say?"
The little girl looked up, and after q
moments hesitation exclaimed:
"Slc said, WELL she said: oh, dear!

The Police Refuse to State Whether Cor

FALL RIVER Mass, June 12.-The po-
lice refuse to deny or confirm the report
that Correiro has confessed the murder OF
Bertha Manchester. Marshal Hilliard is
in New Bedford and Assistant Marshal
Fleet has nothing to say upon the subject.
Mayor Coughlin also refuses to talk.
The refusal of the authorities to affirm
or deny is deemed by many to be sufficient
proof that either the report is true or the
prisoner has made certain admissions
which equal confession.
The police are still actively at work
upon the case, which would indicate that q
full confession had not been made.
