had done her duty in confessing to per-
jury when | saw her ON Monday last,
he went on, ''in response to message by
telephone, she told me that she had no
recollection of making any confession, nor
did she reColleCt going to the house of Re
corder Goff on the eve of Thanksgiving
Day.
"She said that such confession was
impossible, as the story she told on the
witness stand was true. I then asked her
how she came to make this confession, and
she replied that from the time of the trial
until Wednesday afternoon she had been
in dream
"She made one peculiar statement TO me.
She asked me if Thought that Miss Kell-
ard would be brought into the case. L told
her L did not know. She then said If
you can give me any assurance that Miss
Kellard will not be prosecuted l will tell
the truth told her that had no ari-
thority to promise immunity to Miss Kell-
ard, but that did not think she was in
any danger of prosecution"
Colonel Fellows said that he had in
tended to move that the girl be DISCHARGED
on her own recognizance had not the new
phase caused by her recent recantation
appeared. He asked that bail be fixed at
$1,000. Barbara, he said, was the victim
of fool friends.
Judge Cowing paid no attention to the
request for commission in lunacy. He
fixed bail at $1,000 and the prisoner was
taken back to Jail in default.
At the Jail Miss Aub said to a reporter.
''As true as there is a God in Heaven, can
positively say that the first statement
made about Langerman is true. Anything
else l might have said is untrue"
Miss Smedley asked her if she was in
huenced in her confession by any one rom

know what promise was made to Miss
Kellard to obtain your confession?"
Barbara replied: Il don't know that
Miss Kellard was promised anything, but
she said to me that l would never want
for anything in the world if l would stick
to my confession She also promised me
house on Madison avenue, near Thirty
seventh street."
Miss Aub then said that some one whom
she believed was connected with the Door
of Hope had given her drug in a glass of
milk. She said that after taking it she

dream. She said she had no recollection
of having made confession, but believed
that she must have made it, because it
was on record

in the same room with Barbara, told a
reporter that Miss Aub had told her that
she had given a check for s. to Miss Kell-
ard to have cashed for her and that sh

After Barbara had refused to see Mrs
Whittemore on Thursday the latter sent
her n letter in which she said she was
sorry Barbara had not stuck TO her and to
God, for no one but God could help her.
After reading this letter Barbara said
"The next time l get in trouble / will see
a lawyer first and God next"

her a note during the afternoon, and asked
that Barbara send her an answer to the
Door of Hope The letter chided Barbara
for the stories appearing in the papers.
