CHILD MURDERERS.
Two CoIored Women Under Arrest
at Camden, New JERSEY.

CAMDEN IN. j., Oct. 6.-Mrs. Mary
Sammon and Mrs. Jennie Layton, two
colored women, were arrested to-day on
suspicion of being concerned in the
deaths of three children, all of whom
died under circumstances requiring a.
Coroner's certificate.
The matter first came to Coroner Lin
pincotts attention to-day, when he
was called to the womens home in con-
nection with the death of Joseph Breck-
inridge, aged = years, a foster child of
Mrs. Sammon. The boys lips and hands
showed what looked like carbolic acid
burns. Mrs. Sammon said the boy had
been treated for diphtheria sore throat,
and denied having administered any
poison. In view of the past deaths at
the house and the present suspicious
circumstances the Coroner ordered the
arrest of both women.
From an investigation it was learned
that all Mrs. Laytons five children had
died, and Coroner's certificate was re-
quired in each instance
The Coroner said he was called to the
house on September 18th and gave a
certificate in the case of Joseph Layton.
aged years and days. Later Eras-
tus Layton, aged = months also died
suddenly. During the day a post
mortem examination on the Breclzin-
ridge boy was made, but before arriv-
ing at a. decision it was decided to sub
nit the heart and lungs to a chemical
analysis.
The remains of the two Layton chill
dren may be disinterred and examined.
The women are held in custody.

OCEAN RECORDS BROKEN.
FAST VOYAGE OF KAISER WILL
HELM DER CROSSE.
Brings the Time of Passage Across
the Atlantic Very Close to
Five Days.

NEW YORK, Oct. GA cablegram
received from London announces that
the new North German Lloyd steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse was sight
ed passing Scilly Island light at 1926
o'clock this afternoon.
This announcement makes it quite
certain that the leviathian star has
broken all previous records to Ply
mouth and Southampton, and brought
the time of passage across the Atlantic
to the English channel very close to
the much-talked-o of five days
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse sail
ed from New York for Plymouth and
Bremen on September Both, clearing
the bar at 6:02 p. m, and the lightship
twenty minutes later Allowing four
hours for the run from Scilly TO Ply
mouth, she is due there about 2:35
o'clock p. m. This Will make the time
OF Tassage about five days fifteen
hours and thirteen minutes. This is
better by eighteen hours and eleven
minutes than the time of the Hamburg
liner Fuerst Bismarck, which has held
the Plymouth record of six days nine
hours and twenty four minutes since
August, 1896 and beats the Southamp-
ton record held by the American liner
ST. Louis of six days ten hours and
fourteen minutes, made last month, by
about thirteen hours, for had she been
going 10 Southampton she would have
been due there about $50 O'Clock this
evening.
The average rate of speed made on
the passage would be about y 80 knots
per hour, with her arrival at Plymouth
at the time reckoned. The time here
given for the arrival of the big steamer
is, Of course, approximate, and she
may make still better showing than
this.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse on
her arrival here on September 26th on
her maiden trip made the passage from
Southampton in five days TWENTY-FIVE
hours and thirty-five minutes at an
average speed of 21.39 knots. lowering
the westward Southampton record held
by the st. Paul by one hour and fifty-
six minutes. By smashing the record
both eastward and westward she is
now queen of the Southampton course.

LUETGERT MURDER TRIAL.
STATE OFFERS IMPEACHMENT
EVIDENCE.
Effort to Prove That the Wife of
Defendant Was Not Seen in
Wisconsin,

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-The testimony in
the Luetgert trial was more interesting
to the general public than it has been
at any time for the past two weeks.
The technical evidence of the experts
gave way to impeachment evidence Of
fered by the State against the witnesses
for the defense, who had stated on the
stand that Mrs. Luetgert had been seen
in the vicinity of Kenosha, Wis, within
a few days after the murder is said to
have been committed.
Several of those who claimed to have
seen the woman around Kenosha Jared
badly at the hands of their neighbors,
and Witness Scholey, the principal wit
ness for the defense on the Kenosha
story, had his character torn into
shreds One of his neighbors who
testified against him said he did not
know what was meant by Scholey' s
"veracity," but made himself clear in
the next breath by adding: DO know,
though, that Scholey is no good
Evidence was introduced to show that
Luetgert had not put any grease or
Clipped bone into his watts for making
soap on the night of May 1st, as his
business partner, William Charles, had
testified. because it had all been carted
away on the morning before. 1t was
also shown that Luetgert had no oc-
casion to make any soap. for when the
factory was seized by a Deputy Sheriff
several days after the murder is said
to have been committed a great many
barrels of soap belonging to him were
found in the basement of the factory.
Emma Schimpke was recalled to the
witness stand, and an effort was made
to show by her that all the impeaching
evidence that had been produced by
the defense on her testimony was the
result of a misunderstanding of her
story. On direct examination she had
stated that she saw Luetgert and his
wife going toward the sausage factory
at 1870 o'clock on the night of May
1st She was asked upon. cross exam
ination if she had not testified to see
ing Luetgert and his wife on May 23d.
The witness said she had not. She had
said however, that on the night of May
23d she met Harry Fielder and other
boys at about the same point she met
them on the night of May 1st, upon
which date she had seen Luetgert and
his wife.
Attorney Phalen showered questions
upon the witness relative to her meet
ing boys at night. Her face became
scarlet, and she became angry and
snapped back her replies in a manner
that amused Judge Tuthill, while the
spectators smiled broadly.
Tomorrow witnesses from Kenosha,
Wis. will be called to the stand to re-
fute the stories of the persons who
stated positively that they saw Mrs
Luetgert in the Wisconsin town on May
Sd, 4th and 9Th. Tt is expected that
these witnesses will be confronted with
the woman they mistook for Mrs. Luet-
