ALTOONA, Pa, Aug. 2.-If the con-
fession of the convict known as Fred
erick Whitney, who committed suicide
at the Maryland penitentiary is true,
that he killed Henry Bonneka in
this city, an innocent man now watt
ing sentence of death for the muir
der. There are some discrepancies in
the story of Whitney's confession as
sent from Baltimore, as to the
facts of the murder. Bonneka was
not killed upon the street, but was
found strangled to death in his house
here on April 6, 1895. Whitney was in
Altoona at the time of the murder, was
suspected and was followed to Balti-
more by detectives, but not enough
evidence was gathered against him
to warrant his arrest. Three
other men fell under suspicion
and finally one of them, Frank
Wilson, was arrested. Wilson
at first admitted having been present
when Bonneka was killed. He after
ward retracted his admission and was
recently tried and convicted of muir
der in the first degree.

to the headquarters of the democratic
congress sional campaign COMMITTEES,
where he had an hours talk with Sec
retary Gardner.
Last night the senator said he was
not yet ready to announce the execu-
tive committee, although it was possi-
bic he would name some of the men,
bers in day or two. He had practi.
caIly made up his mind as to some of
them, but he did not care to disclose
them last night Perhaps the execu-
tive committee would not be an
nounced, or, at any rate, completed
until the full meeting of the national
committee in New York on the 18th
inst. At that time the location of tue
national campaign headquarters would
be selected and in all proba ability the
selection would not be made before
that time. The senator's choice for
headquarters was about evenly di-
vided between Washington and Chi
cago.
The senator says he sees nothing
but indications of democratic success
wherever he goes, and that so far
from any possibility of the reaction
the ''goldbugs" are relying on, the
free silver cause continues to show a
healthy and rapid growth. Those
people who are looking for reaction"
said the senator, 'get their informa-
tlon from the same sources that an

Senator Jones says he will remain
in Washington all the week. 1t is ex.
pected many prominent democrats will
meet him during that time, including
Senator German, who usually spends
Mondays in town. 1t is predicted that
soon after seeing Senator German
Chairman Jones will announce the ex-

that a decision will be reached as to
whether an advisory committee will
be needed this year.
