quisition Papers for Ciommer.

Norristown, Pa, Dec. 1.-Interest in
the Kaiser murder case was stimulated
today by the rumor that Charles o.
Kaiser was about to make a confess
sion. His attorneys. however. assert
that he has never made any such in
timation
Mrs. Huzzard, who lives in the De-
Kalb turnpike near the Gulf Mills
road, has turned up with an interest
ing story which would tend to show
that the murder was committed before
6 o'clock on the night of oct. 2S, 1896
and i'm the twilight instead of later and
in pitChy darkness. She says that at
$50 y. IN. a team drove up containing
a man and a woman, and that her at
tention was attracted to it by the at
titude of the woman. who sat side
ways on the seat, with her back to the
man. The woman was Emma p.
Kaiser, and the man Charles Q. Kaiser.
Mrs. Huzzard went to the court room
when Kaiser was ON trial and satisfied
herself that he was the man.
Almost Immediately behind it came
another carriage, and Kaiser shouted
back to its occupants.
Between sos and els p. m. Mrs. HUI
zard saw the same carriage returning,
but instead of the man and woman
being distant to each other. the man
had the woman clasped to him and she
lay all huddlcd up in a heap. There
was also another man in the carriage.
LIZZIE ILL, But CHEERFUL.
Lizzie DcKalb was i'll today, having
contracted a heavy cold during the
drive yesterday. She was cheerful,
however her counsel said, and felt
sure Of being able to convince n jury
of her innocence of any active partici-
patton in the shooting.
Concerning her statement, District
Attorney Strasshurger would only say
that it will hang Clemmer, while Liz
zie's LAWYER asserts that it will send
both Clemmer and Kaiser to the gal
low, but acquit her.
Governor Hastings has signed the
requisition papers for the cXtradition
of Clemmer and Chief of Police Rod
cnbaugh left for Newark n. j., today
to bring him here.
Charles O. Kaiser will within a day
or SO. it is said, make a full confess
sion of his crime to District Attorney
Strassburgcr. Whether the confession
will implicate Lizzie DeKalb, or Glenn
mer, remains to be seen. The general
opinion among those who know Of the
contemplated COnfe ssiOn is that Kaiser
will show that they We're all impliCat-
ed to a greater or less degree. George
Bradford Corr. counsel for Kaiser, to-
night admitted that his client purposed
Confessing. He said that the prisoner
has been gradually breaking down dur
ing his Imprisonment and is a mental
| and physical wreck and determined to
tell all he knows about the Grim. For
some time past he has been unable to
| sleep and the prison regulations for
I Hiding him any light in the cell af-
| ter y. m. have also disturbsd d him TO
| such an extent that he says he sees
! visions. The published statements that
| the DcKalb woman and Clemmer had
| each mad statements alleged to be
! confessions have also worried him and
| be EOW feels that the only way to re-
! gain his peace of mind is to make a
! clean breast of the whole affair.
