An Alleged Confession by Blanther Now
Said to Be False.
Atlanta, Ca, December 3.-Joseph E.
Blatner, better known as Arthur d..
Forbes, who was manager and proprie-
tor of the Southern Purchasing Agency
in Atlanta, and who recently committed
suicide in Jail in Texas, was in At
lanta on the day when the murder OF
Miss Blanche Lamont and Miss Minnie
Williams occurred in San Francisco.
The statement is made by persons in
Atlanta who knew Forbes well, and
who had business dealings with him,
and to support their statements the
books and records which were in
Forbes Office here have been consulted
and it is shown that between April
and April IA, 1895, the time of the two
murders in San Francisco, Forbes was
here and doing business with Kelly
Bros. e Co. and other firms. If these
statements be true and there appears
no reason to doubt the proofs submit
ted, Forbes, alias Blanther, could not
possibly have been the murderer of the
young girls, and the declaration made
in a written confession admitting that
he killed the young women is false
Mrs. Blanther, the widow of the sui
eide, has been eXerting every energy
and effort to show that her husband
was the real murderer and that Theo-
dore Durrant, now under sentence of
death for the crime, is an innocent
man. Mrs. Blanther, who was deceived
by her husband, is doubtless sincere in
what she says, but her whole course of
action is based upon the alleged writ
ten confession which it is. said was
found in the pocket of a fellow prisoner
of the man who committed suicide.

DEAD LETTER SALE.

Some Curious Articles Left in the
Mails.
The articles accumulated in the dead
letter Office will be sold at auction by
Thomas Bowling, by order of the Post
master General. at 612 E street north
west beginning Monday, December 10,
and continuing until the whole is dis
posed of, says the Washington Star. In
the catalogue published there are all
sorts of articles 1.-TWO damaged fasci-
matters, two napkins, thirteen damaged
handkerchiefs," ETC., another lot con-
tanning "a cheap pipe, pair of mems
damaged gloves, cuff holder and harmo-
MICA"
1t is needless to state that there are
no pianos in the collection, but there
are many other objects which it would
be almost as remarkable to find under
Uncle Sans direction to deliver. The
collection of jewelry is quite large and
embraces nearly everything in that line
which could be found in an average jew
elery store. There are watches, pins,
eyeglasses, rings, charms, gold penhold-
ers and the like.
In the schedule of books there are
some of the Oldest publications down
to the present time. One of the coliec-
tons, five pamphlets, entitled ION to
Washington" was probably the text
book of some office seeker
In order that foreigners shall not be
disappointed there are books printed in
all languages, including the Scandana-
Wan, Italian, Slavonic and Russian.
In the miscellaneous collection hand
kerchiefs seem to have the call, as
there are more of them than any other
domestic article. Slippers, damaged
hat feathers, dress waists, gloves and
ribbons are also gathered in profusion.

MURDER FOR LOVE.
A Young Man Confesses His Sweethear
KILLED His Father.

a Young Man SOnIeSseS HIS SWectHtdt
KILLED His Father.
Waterloo. Iowa, December 3.-Wm.
Kern has made a confession, implicat-
ing his sweetheart, Delilah Fales, in
the murder of Jerome Kern, and has
confessed himself to have been her
dupe and accomplice. He says he
loved her. He had no particular en-
nifty against his father, save that his
father objected to his attachment to
Hiss Fales. They had no disagreement
and lived in harmony beneath the same
roof.
Such was the strength of his fascina-
ton for the woman, however, that when
she unfolded to him the details of a
plot to Stay both his parents, take pos
session of their little property and get
married, he consented to assist in the
slaughter. A plot was laid to lure Je-
rome Kern into the timber and then
make away with him. The murder of
the mother was to be accomplished at
a later date On the morning of the
murder the elder Kern was induced to
leave the house. Delilah Fales lay in
wait for him, and after engaging the
unsuspecting man in conversation, fired
the fatal shot.
According to young Kern's confession
the two saturated the clothing of the
dead man with oil and set fire to it, the
object being to conceal the manner in
which he died. He alleges that the oil
can and the revolver were buried by
.the Fales woman in the woods.
Kern was made to confess through
the work of detectives who induced a
young man to haunt him in the guise
Of the ghost of the murdered father
The CHEST worked on the young man S
nerves to such an extent that he finally
weakened.
