1t Is understood in political circles that
Congressman L. !. Handy, Of this Stats,

Handy. He cannot make q speech of any
character unless the white metal Is bronRIi

liam Jennings Bryan. A fow months ago
the Congressman aspired to tbe Senator u
succeed George Gray, but he found that
the most influential Democrats Of ths
State were opposed to him, and no will bs
content to accept another nomination f0s

In this he is not likely to be opposva l.,

fense. He will be assisted by ex-State

KATER'S CONFESSION
Declares Clemmer Fired the Shot
That Killed Mrs. Kaiser.
LIZZIE DE KALB is INNOCENT.

Condemned Man Says That He and
Clemmer Alone Conspired to Make
Way With His Wife, and That Miss
De KaIb Know Nothing of tho Plot.
The Inquirer from NorristowH Pa.
ttates that Charles o. Kaiser, convicted
of the murder of his wife, Emma
Kaiser. has made confession in which
he admits having conspired with James
A. Clemmer to commit the crime, but
placing the blame for having fired the
fatal shot OH Clemmer, who Is now in
the county jail awaiting trial for his
alleged share in the crime. Lizzie De
Kalb, who Is under arrest charged with
being implicated in the murder, Is. ac-,
cording to Kaiser's confession, inno-
cent Of any knowledge Of their purpose
to kill Mrs Kaiser.
Kaiser In his confession says that he
never had any intention of doing away
with his wife until after he had heard
that she was untrue to him. Previous
to that time. he said, he had always
loved her. AS soon, however, as he was
told that she was untrue he lost all
love for her. and when soon afterward
he met Clemmer in Philadelphia he 1t
was who tempted him to enter into a
scheme to get rid of Mrs. Kaiser. Glenn
mer the convicted man says. told him
that they were both in need of money,
and inasmuch as his wife was untrue
to him he should have no computations
about ending her life.
The confession then states that, Glenn
ner told him that he was an agent for
the Covenant Life Insurance company,
Of Galesburg, Ills, and induced him to
take out an insurance policy for $1,000.
: This was In the summer of 1896. Glenn
mer then told him how easy 1t was to
dispose of Mrs. Kaiser, and persuaded
him to induce his wife to make a will
in his (Kaiser's) favor.
Kaiser says that Clemmer and he ar
ranged to kill Mrs. Kaiser by means of
poison. but that plan fell through. and
1t was afterward decided to make 1t
appear that the crime was committed
by highwaymen.
Plans to this end were arranged, and
on three separate occasions Mrs. Kali
ser went driving accompanied by Lizzie
DE Kalb, but the plans of the con-
opiiutoiS ldilcu VI uitll
October, 1896. On the 29th of that
month the plan finally succeeded. Kali
sed had met Clemmer, and all the de-
tails were arranged. Cemmer was to
meet him and Mrs. Kaiser at given
point In the guise of highwayman.
Kaiser then goes on to say that when
he reached the given point Clemmer
made his appearance and commanded
the carriage containing Kaiser and his
wife to be halted. at the same time de-
Inanding money and valuables. These
were handed out. upon which the pis-
tol was placed against Mrs. Kaiser's
head by Clemmer, who fired. The Sec
ond shot was put through Kaiser's arm.
The remainder of Kaiser's confession
differs in no particular with the facts
already brought out at the trial as to
his subsequent movements. He insists,
however, that the De Kalb woman knew
nothing of the murder until after 1t
had been accomplished.
This latter feature of the confession
~ borates the statement made by
Ae Kalb just after her arrest.
