Complains OF lnjustic.

do you remember the morning that
you and May went to church To early
service and tried to have breakfast
ready for you when you came home?
And then. just because the little ones
were making noise upstairs you
blamed me? Do you remember how you
acted when / wanted TO show you that
had been busy, and tried to pacify
you by giving you hot breakfast and
what did you do? You sent me away
from you and spoke to me so hard and
cruel that you nearly drove me wild.
"Often there would come the mo-
ment when l would want TO put my
arms around your neck and kiss you,
but again came that thought of things
you had said to me, and / really hated
you and, what was worse, i would
think you hated me.
II will not say any more about that
now, mother 1t Will make you feel bad
enough to remember II. That is not my
object, though, / do not want to make
YOU feel bad about II. / only want to
show you my reason for telling people
that I killed Thomas Hayden.
"I was so full of revenge and the de-
sire to make YOU suffer that i did not
care what / did"
The boy then explained how he had
promised the woman who committed
the crime to say nothing, and how he
had come TO confess the crime.

If the letter is not statement of
facts, but simply yarn spun TO ease
a mothers heart in an hour OF repent
ance, ii is a document for criminolo-
gists to weave theories about.
With simple directness the boy start
ed the letter with the statement that he
had not been feeling well and that II
he should die he would like to have his
mother know that he was innocent OF
the murder of Thomas Hayden.
He followed this with the statement
that he knew how, when and why 1t
was done and that the money had been
gwen him as the price of his silence.
He was meagre as 10 detail because, he
said, IL was of no use to go into partc-
ulars.
What / want 10 tell you" he con-
tinued, land ask you TO forgive me for
is the reason why / told every one l
was guilty.
You remember how you whipped me
and how papa whipped me because /
used to run away from home? When
you stopped whipping / stopped run
ming away. i always remembered every
blow that you struck and every harsh
word that you spoke TO me. Sometimes
/ was furious in my heart. because

make you sorry that you ever struck
me or spoke harshly to me.

died recently in the New Jersey state
prison at Trenton. In the criminal his
tory OF New Jersey this convict was
famous as the boy murderer"
He was accused of killing Thomas
Hayden, superintendent of Newark

minuteness of detail the boy confessed
the crime. He said that he had killed
Hayden with a balestick for the money
in the safe. Much of the money was
found on him. He was sentenced 10
death, reprieved, and finally his SEN

A Good Haul by Bandits In PhiladeI-
phia's Pleasure Ground.
Philadelphia, June 20.-Shortly be-
fore / o'clock yesterday morning, when
the safe of the Paramount Park Trans
poFtation company. located in the re-
ceiying Office at Belmont, was filled
with the receipts of two days, amount
ing in exact figures to s3,300.55, gang
of masked cracksmen, numbering about
ten or twelve, swooped down upon the
place and stole the money, after hold
ing up the receiver and five other men
binding them hard and fast with pic
ture cord. The mouths of the cap
tured men were gagged with rags.
Not only were members of the gang
at the immediate scene of the robbery
but it Is fact that pickets were oper-
ating miles away, destroying telegraph
and telephone wires at the terminus
of the park trolley, so as to insure the
defeat of any communication which
the trolley employees would be likely
to send to the detective bureau.
The employees overpowered by the
bandits were Frank Levan, night
receiver; Philip Ewes, night electrician:
Henry Whitehouse, assistant electric
ian; William Cademus, night watch
man, and c. Harry Watson, a conduc-
tor.
One after another these men were
bound by members of the gang, who
stood over them with drawn revolvers,
ready to fire at the first outcry that
might be made. Nitro-glycerine was
first tried on the safe, but that fall
ing the trolley company's own tools
were used to pry it open.
The police are reticent, but intimate
that they are on the track of the rob-
bers. One suspect is under arrest.

the opinion that Goveror Voorhees, and

laws OF their State, to stand up in defence
of trusts and combinations and to demon

utterly inexeusable are the attacks upon
these benefcient institutions The State
of New Jersey has given its official sane
ton to the formation of trusts, and is
reaping from them a large part of its in

of fees and franchise taxes Under such
circumstances the very least that its
officials can do is TO defend these State
