A FOREIGN fiEND.
Confesses a Horrible Crime

Atlanta Ga. Jan. 49, Samuel Pa
latka, the Hungarian tramp arres-
ted at Eatonton, Putnam county for
the wreck of the Birmingham min
eral passenger train on Cahaba river
bridge in Alabama, three weeks
ago, by which 26 lives were lost,
has confessed to the horrible crime.
Palatka was brought to Atlanta
today on his way to Birmingham
where he will be held for trial. A
reward of $1,000 has been offered
for the arrest of the wreckers, and
in the face of Palatka's confession
there seems no doubt but what the
right man has been caught.
Palatka wrecked the train in or
der that he might rob the bodies of
the passengers and his confession
bears out the theory formed by the
detectives anu the officers of the
railway companies at the start. Pa
latka had removed a rail from the
trestle and then secreted himself in
the bushes ar by, and when the
train with il load of human freight
crashed through, fire started among
the iebris and the news of the cat
astr phe re-, he'd farm srs living in
vicinity so soon that ! ,latka fec
empty handed he says.
Palatka is a iend in expression
and looks. His countenance is re
voting, and he talked of his terri
BILE crime in a most stolid and indif
ferent way. He seems man en-
tirely without human feelings. Ht
spoke of the wreck without the leas
visible sign of emotion.
