 What difference is that to you?" was the savage rejoinder.
 "Ohl no difference whatever; only am paid handsome salary to see that everything goes as the company wants it upon this train, and as among other things the company doesn't want third class passengers riding in first class cars, am trying to earn my money. You must go into the other car or pay the difference.
 What is the difference?n
 "Six dollars and sixty-fiYe cents.n "Well, I'll not pay it,"
 "Then you will have to go into the other carn
 "All right; I'll do so at the next station"
 After the train had passed Agua Zarca, when Murphy went through the train he found the passenger still in the first class car, and he said: Ut seems to me, my friend, that you have forgotten something"
 "No l ain't forgot nothingw was the explosive response.
 "Yes, you forgot to go into the third class car as you agreed"
 But 1 have concluded not to go, and what are you going to do about it?n
 eSee here, my friend, said MT. Mur- phy, 'you are not giving me fair shake. If was working for you in a store, and should sell someone a silk undershirt for the price of cotton one, you would raise h-l of roar wouldn't you?"
 But that's different"
 Not in the least"
 But what are you going to do about it?"
 "Well, I expect I shall have to let you ride here-a short distance
 Murphy then went to the two mem bers of La Gendarmeria Fiscal, who in accordance with custom in Mexico are upon every train, and told them to put the man in the third class car when the train stopped at Cibuta. Going into the sleeper Murphy paid no further attention to the matter, but took good care to let the train stand at the station couple of min utes when it came to stop at Cibuta. Leaving Cibuta he. went through the train, and in the third class car he found the recalcitrant passenger, a little touseled up and looking some what the worse for wear, seated upon one of the benches, gendarme seated in front of him and another alongside of him on the same bench. And he was as white as chalk,
 ''I have got myself into h-l of a fix" he calculated, when Murphy ap- peared.
 ''I expect you have, was the cheer ful response.
 But where am going?"
 "You are probably going to the salt mines, my friend"

stantlal case, for Stephens confessed TO
othef witnesses by word and mouth
MI Shlpman laid much stress on the
point that the state claimed by evil
dence that the charges against DR.
Warheld in the confession were I'M
true. and took the position that these
self-confessed claims were also delu-
slons. But this morning Charles Zim-
norman. the most intimate friend and
formerly the roommate of Stephens
told of finding the prisoners valise
stained with tar and of seeing a bruise
on his forehead after the prisoner con-
fessed to having BEEN struck by a
Waterman in the chapel.
DISCOUNTING THE CONFESSION
The opening speech of the defense
was made by Attorney William Reide]-
man, former state senator. This was
general denial of the damnatorv
force of the states evidence. He said
that detectives nave a way of work
ing suspected men into such a state
OF mind that they are willing to con-
less 10 anything, and referred to in
stances where men have confessed to
crimes they never committed He said
that this confession sounded like the
raVlngs OF maniac, and that it bore
evidence or having been made in a
state of excitement, and such that the
man did not know what he was doing.
He affirmed that the confession WASN'T
worth the paper it was written on.
and that it had not been proven that
the defendant was in Easton on the
night of the burning of Pardee hall.
Altogether, the trial, which resulted
in conviction, has caused more COM
ment and attracted more attention
throughout Pennsylvania since the
Quay investigation and is being dis
cussed by the faculties of various East
ern universities in all it's phases. That
man who can attain to such a de-
gree OF eminence as a student of moral
philosophy as to be college professor
should fall at once to such a depth of
deprav1ty as his confession indicates
opens wide field of discussion for
those who delight to air their theories
concerning degeneration, and this
phase OF the matter has been talked
of at length. From being a respected
and honored member of the commune
ty in which he moved he has become
disgraced and dishonored. however the
present trial may result. and. If the
case should go against him, he stands
fair chance of ending his ruined life
within the walls of a penitentiary
when he might have been an ornament
to society and useful instructor of
the young, had he not allowed his pas
sion Tor revenge to get the upper hand

EASTON, Pa, March "A professor

perhaps more curiosity than even the

was the bill of the play in Judge

Some six years ago George H. Ste
shens came to Easton and became at
tached to the faculty of Lafayette col
lege as assistant instructor in moral
philosophy. He was a young man of
more than ordinary attachments, a
graduate of Princeton, and his future
locked bright. A few years ago, how
ever he became convinced that Presi-
dent Warfield was his enemy and the
two had several classes. Prof Stephens
had charge of the Sunday school
and his work in the chapel fell under
the ban of the president. At length he
was dismissed and then began the
series of petty annoyances with which
he Is charged, eliminating in the burn
ing of the 100000 Pardee hall, the
biological labratory. That was in De-
cember, 1897. A few months thereafter
Prof Stephens was arrested and con-
fessed to the crime in rambling docu-
ment of about $4,000 words, in which
he alleged that revenge upon President
Warfield was his motive

mother there came an ugly little laugh
on the heels of it, over the next few
lines, which mentioned one of his plans
for burning Pardee hail. His manner
of speech is somewhat effeminate and
his voice rather weak and high pitched.
His cruelty to the queens English is
a remarkable failing in a Princeton
graduate and college professor. He

A RAMBLING CONFESSION.
Extracts from this document picture
wildly the warped impulses and rea-
soning of the man and grim sense of
humor along with his distorted mental
and moral vision. Of President War
field, his bette noir. he says:
81 felt as 7 was ground into the mire,
and that l did not have Justice or hear
ing. There were times when 1 felt as
If some viciousness Or evil thing had
gotten hold of, and it all went back
to the way that man had treated me
and how he continued to treat me-"
There was a difference of opinion
about the securing of an organ and
the chapel music, and Stephens RACES
in this fashion,:
president Warfield came back and
had services in the morning, and he
boys went out 1 said; Come down and
see our new organ He tore me all to
pieces for putting it there, and said aw-
full, cutting, hurting things to me. 1
felt awfully hurt about it, and went
out and did not say a word.
Once the president came in and
says: What is your hymn 1 showed
him and he says: I thoroughly disap-
prove of your giving out such familiar
hymns 1t made me feel as if I didn't
want to take any further part in the
services. but a few weeks after he gave
out the very same hymn to the boys
and they sang 1t with their accustomed
ease That man is as stone deaf as
the first 'Trilby' was. don't you know
1t? He could not detect one hymn
from another. My, but that man did
hurt me, that l had TO take such head

ashamed of and T. would shudder to
think what I had DONE"
When he was sneaking into the
chapel to damage the organ, on one
occasion, he was discovered and was
struck. '"That woke me up quicker
than lightning. An awful feeling came
over me to think that 1 should be there
as 1 was. and how after 1 had stood
in that pulpit and told the boys the
truth, and now to think of the shame
of it. Oh. my God!"
By creating a reign Of mischief and
disorder and Gripping Lafayette COL
lege In every possible manner, Stephens
aimed at discrediting and running the
administration of DR.. Warfield 1t was
a personal grievance and led to the
most trivial causes sufficient for in
flaming his mind. Religious services
furnished much fuel for his hatred,
and stimulated him to a series of pet
ty property distinctions.
The case has been a succession of ex-
traordinary incidents and material
from the beginning. 1t now appears
that the defense clings almost abso-
lutely to the claim that the confess
sion was obtained from the prisoner by
the promise that it would be better
for him if he should tell everything"
this constituting an inducement which
by law invalidates and makes worth
less a confession so obtained. The evil
dence of the state to the contrary, how
ever. has piled UP pretty substantial
fabric by witnesses of high character
ir the community The claim of the
state in this respect hangs almost Who'll
ly on the evidence Of Rev. Charles
Schall, formerly an intimate friend of
Stephens. who has said that he car
ried a message to the prisoner from
one Of the officers of the commonwealth
to the effect that sit would be better
for him if he told all he knew" Against
this is the evidence of such men as
Prof. Francis A. March Jr., E. j. Fox,
a trustee of Lafayette college, and
former District Attorney James Fox
that no promises or Inducements of any
kind were made Stephens other than
that the confession would not be given
out at that time for newspaper pub
LEGATION. The feature of the case is
especially dWelt upon, because on it
hangs the only hope of the defense in
one Of the most extraordinary cases
ever tried in this country.
The charge Of Judge Scott will pre-
sent the law, but the jury must weigh
the evidence as to the legal worth Of
the confession. Thus it happens that
the fate of the prisoner depends in a
great measure upon this technical
point. He has confessed in fullest de-
tail to the crime of arson, for which
