Wife Killed the victin.

Cleveland, Oct. 18.-Clarence Rob
inson, the convicted burglar In the
county Jail here, made q confession
which confirms what hiS wife had al
ready told the police and removes all
doubt about the murder of Montgom-
cry Gibbs, the Buffalo attorney, In
April last When Deputy Superin-
tendent Of Police Cusack and District
Attorney Benefick Of Bu6alo arrived
here this morning they were armed
with the confession Of Mrs. Robinson.
They went at once to the jail and
were shown into the corridor where
Robinson was. The prisoner was
asked to tell the officers what he
knew about the Gibbs murder. For
two hours they fired questions at
Robinson, trying him first on one tack
and then on another. He lodged and
squirmed and fought them at every
turn. At first the prisoner showed
plenty of,assurance, but finally It be.
came apparent TINT he was giving
way under the strain. One Of the
turkeys took him aside then and
urged him to be q man and make a
clean breast of the matter. Robinson
had admitted that part of the story
told by Mrs. Robinson was true, and
at last he admitted that he was i'm.
plicated In the murder, but declares
that his wife had fired the shot which
killed Gibbs. All of a sudden the
prisoner broke down completely. Row.
Ing his head upon his hands, he began
to sob. Then he told his story.
"When we arrived in Buffalo. last
spring" he said, i've were in want.
We lived first Mt No. 100 East Eagle
street, Buffalo, but during the week
before the murder we had room Mt
No. 140 North Division street.
"When we started out that night
Sadie wore mems clothes and we each
carried 32-callber revolver. She Ind
British bulldog and mine was of
the Smith & Wcsson pattern. We
walked along Delaware avenue and
passed seven or eight persons. Gibbs
approached lis and l said to Sadie,

with that lie had almost reached
us, and. leveling my revolver mt him.
l ordered him to throw up his hands.
Instead Of doing so he struck me with
a cane or umbrella. Then he grabbed
my right wrist and we had fight for
the revolver. When he laid hold OF
my wrist the revolver was fired. but
the bullet went into the air. A mo-
ment later there was another shot
ana the bullet entered Gibbs left
arm. He fell toward me and We
clinched. Then It was that Saiie
pulled her revolver and shot him in
the head. He dropped and we start
ed to rob him when we saw somebody
coming. We skipped out, climbing
over the hedge fence and running be.
tween two honses. We separated and
met on a back street. Then we walked
around the block and back past the
place Of the murder, but on the oppo.
site side Of the street. They were
