ADMITS IT WAS HER BABY.
Sarah Metz Confesses to Aban-
doning 1t in the Park.
Says She Was Deceived by the Cousin
of Her Divorced Husband.

Sarah Metz, the young woman who on
Monday night was seen to abandon a
girl baby in the bushes in Central Park,
but who when arrested by Park officer
O'Neill denied all knowledge OF It, made
clean breast of the matter when
arraigned for final examination before
Justice Voorhs at the lorkville Police
Court this morning.
1 She sad that being homeless, friend
less and destitute, and having been put
out of her home that morning she was
almost crazed with grief. and when she
placed the child in the bushes she did
not know what she was doing.
| Sarah. according to her story, Ia n
married woman. She is twenty-five
years old and fairly good looking. Her
husband was Bernard Metz to whom
she was married in Riga. Russia, when
she was eighteen years old.
Shortly after their marriage they emf
grated to this country. where he soon
found work as brushmaNer In Wooster
street He secured this place through
his cousin. Solomon Metz, who. she
now says, is the father Of the child.
The husband, she said, did not like
this country, and after being here two
years decided to return to his Father,and
She, however, learned to love her adopted
land. and refused to return. He then
secured divorce from, ner from n
rabbi living in Orchard street. near
Canal street, and left her hero. a few
weeks after she gave birth to child
which died within week.
Sarah then went to work In different
sweat shops and repairers, and eked out
a poor living. Eight months ago her

had rooms together in Madison street,
near Pike street. Under a promise OF
marriage he deceived her, she says, and
when he refused to keep his word at
the expiration of six weeks she left
him. She said that solomon afterwards
became sick. and she lost all trace OF
him.
She worked until a little over two
months ago with bushelman named
Shapiro doing business In Grand street
Brooklyn. Her condition became such
since then she was unable to get any
work. Her little savings were soon
gone. She said she lived until Monday
morning in furnished room AT lOs

that the baby was born on the morning

was dispossessed from the room by the
landlord, Isaac Cohen.
All that day she roamed about the
streets, and when 1t became dark she
said that she went to the Park, and

riding. He would go on on buggy riding
trips and be gone FOR days at a time.
He was we'll known as sport among
a certain class of young men In Ho-
boken, and always had a crowd of
hangers-on about him, who used to
drink the wine he paid for.
Mrs. Enders says that for time he
kept a hardware store in Hoboken, but
of his time. Last Friday Mrs. Buret
told her mother that she had gone to
Fort Lee With her husband, who had
come to their home while she was pack
ing up her furniture preparatory to
leaving.
He persuaded her to so into the woods
with him. and there drew n revolver
and threatened to shoot her unless she
again lived with him. She begged off
and made him take the cartridges out
OF the revolver.
Mrs. Enders says that she had gone
to bed last night. when she heard her
daughter call out:
Mamma, come here! I'm shot!'
She ran downstairs into the backyard,
where she found Mrs. Buret had taken
refuge from her husband.
She was taken into the house. where
she told her mother that Buret had shot
her. because she wouldn't go to the
Belleville Hotel with him last night.
Mrs. Buret's sister said to-day that

HIS UNIFORM At AUCTION
All That Made a Major-General
Glorious Except His Record.
The Identity OF This British Onicer
shrouded in Mystery.

There is to be an auction at Kreisers 8
rooms, . West Twenty-eighth street this
afternoon, tomorrow and Saturday
afternoons.
One of the treasures to be put under
the hammer Is q superb full dress and
fatigue uniform, belonging to Major
General Of the British Army. The sale
has been extensively advertised, and the
rooms are crowded with household goods
and decorative furniture. but the men
who have dropped in. all wanted to see
that English officers outfit.
And 1t Is a thing OF beauty. Hundreds
of boys from the State Guards have been
to see 1t, and there Is talk In West
Thirty-fourth street of buying 1t to
stun and stand up In the new armory.
The material Is the finest thet could
be used, and the making would delight
the most critical merchant tailor in
town. Gold lace Is used IN abundance,
and the bullet buttons are gold plated,
set in solid rows on the edge Of the
vest and fatigue coat, and add perhaps
twenty-five ounces to the weight Of the
garment.
ment, the collar corners and the shoul-
der strips make a field for the seals OF
the realm and each Is a jewel Of skill.
The cap is made for rather a small
head, but the sword is long and broad
and keen enough for the biggest and
boldest Of warriors.
The story. for there Is one, is not to
be got at without being rudely inquisi-
tive. A most taciturn gentleman con-
signed the uniform. He denied that 1t
was his, but refused to give any infor-
nation about the owner. There Is no
mistaking it's genuineness. The very
tee and there are also the signs of wear
to prove its service. 1t Is not known
when it will be put up for sale-prob-
ably not until Saturday afternoon, FOR
count in favor of the furniture sale.

But one evening she discovered among
the crowd newcomer-blond and hand

timid and embarrassed. At once a se-
cret sympathy attracted her towards
young Mario. 1t seemed II her that she
might be able to comfort him with her

had at last made for himself a position

did not come off.
Every preparation had been made by
Miss Grifiiths for the ceremony, which
was to have been performed at the resi-
dence OF Archdeacon Van Kleeck. of the
Episcopal diocese. Miss Grlfliths ar
rayed herself in her bridal costume, and
some OF her relatives and most in
innate friends assembled at the Arch
deacon's residence at s o'clock. waiting
for the bridal party to arrive.
Miss GrifhthS resides at her fathers 3
house In pring street, and she became
nervous when 'he hour passed for her
intended husband to put in an appear

She Is popular in the village of White
