HIS STORY IS FALSE
Hillebrands Confession Investt-
gated by the Officials.
ALTOONA'S PROSECUTOR GOES HOME
He Is Thoroughly Convinced That the
Late Convict Was Only Working
To Assist . Former Fellow
Companion in Crime.

Baltimore, Aug. 5.-Development
just made incline the police to the be-
lief that the confession made by Hille-
brand just before he committed suicide
in the Maryland penitentiary last
Saturday was tissue of falsehoOds
devised and manufactured for the pur-
pose of clearing his old companion in
crime, Frank Wilson, who together
with James Farrell is now awaiting
the death sentence in the Altoona, Pa,
jail for the murder of Henry Bennecka.
The corroborative statements of Will
liams, Hillebrand's partner in crime,
who told how he helped Hillebrand to
bury $11, 900 near Altoona, are now
construed to have been put out in order
that he might get trip to Altoona and
possibly a chance to escape. Proofs
were put in evidence yesterday that
old Bennecka was murdered on Sunday
morning April 7, 1895, between the
hours of 2 and o'clock. Hillebrand
and Williams were at that time locked
up at police headquarters in Pittsburg,
where they had been arrested few
hours previously by Baltimore detec-
tives. These facts clearly prove the
confession a falsehood District At
torney Hammond of Altoona, who has
been here two days investigating the
matter, returned to his home last
night satisfied that all hands had been
duped by Hillebrand and Williams.
The Investigation Dropped.
When asked if he would take Will
liams to Altoona to find the buried
money, which the convict asked to be
done, he said he most assuredly would
not. When asked about the theory
that Whitney's crime in Altoona had
consisted of the killing of man there
prior to the Bonnecka murder, he
said there was nothing in that theory,
as the last murder before that of the
old miser was that of Frank Member,
which occurred in April, 1894, for
which Frank Mccormick is now serv-
ing six years term in the Eastern
penitentiary of Pennsylvania. The
killing Of Mender was clearly proven
on Mccormick, and he himself did not
deny it, but claimed it was justifiab BILE.
Warden Weyler believes that when
Hillebrand determined to commit sui
eide he also decided to again defeat
the ends of justice, in so far as he
could, by making it appear that his
friend Frank Wilson was innocent of
the Altoona murder

of 1896: Taking the country as q

put down as full one. While there
have been some shortages in the
southern states, and also in territory
west of the Rocky mountains, this
fact has not cut much of figure in
the north or east, where yields Of
the early varieties have been abund-

and tree fruits good to excellent

OUR LADY OF MARTYRS.
Programme of the Chief Features of the
Celebration at AuriesvilIe, N. Y.

Celebration at AuriesvilI0, N. Y.
Auriesville, N. ", Aug. 5.-Ten
days from now, Aug. Is, will occur
here the annual celebration of the
feast of Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs,
at the shrine erected to the memory of
the Jesuit Father Isaac Jogues, who
was killed on the spot by Indians,
among whom he was missionary, on
Oct. 18, 1916. The celebration will be
attended by thousands of Catholics
from all over the country. The cele-
bration will be under the auspices of
the Jesuits and the sermon on that
day will be preached by Rev. William
O'Brien Pardow, provincial of the
Jesuit order. One of the features of
the celebration will be the unwilling
of the crown of the statue of the Vir
gin with the titular Our Lady, Queen
of Martyrs. The crown has cost sew
eral thousand dollars, and is made of
diamonds, watches, jewelry and
precious stones contributed by Catho-
lies in different parts of the country.
Most of the contributors are members
of the Apostleship of Prayer. Many
Catholics have given to the crown
heirlooms and mementoes of friends
and relatives. The contributions have
been going on for several years. The
crown was made by Tiffany of New
York. 1t will not be used on the
statue except on state occasions. Al
other times it will be locked up in a
safe or vault. Another thing that
renders the celebration interesting is
the fact that the Jesuits expect the
pope to announce the beatifica tion of
Father Jogues This will be the first
step towards making the martyr a

persons carried on the pay rolls OF the
treasury as laborers have done duty

irregularities Secretary Carlisle has
instructed the officials of the treasury
not to permit employees under their

law, are not in the classified service, to
perform the duties of offices or places
which are in the classified service, and
not to permit employees who are in the
