MURDER MYSTERY CLEARED UP
HORRIBLE CRIME CONFESSED
BY A NEGRO.
Killed Susie Martin In New York In
1S94-Mutilated the Body to Pre-
vent naturalization.

New oYrk, March 22.-Jarnes BILLINGS
negro ex-conyict, was arrested today
in Brooklyn on the charge Of having
killed Susie Martin in the. district
knows as "aelPs Kitchen in 1894. BIZ
lings' arrest was brought about by the
confession of William Johnson, a negro
convict, whose sentence at Sing sing
has just expired.
The Susie Martin murder created a
great sensation. She disappeared from
her home, No. 656 Eleventh avenue, on
March 8, 1894 Eleven days later her
headless and limbless body was found
in a Thirty ninth street cellar, the iden-
LITIGATION being made by a portion or
her clothing. Almost a yea, later, on
March 6, 1895, the little girls skull was
discovered in a heap of rubbish in a
cellar at 459 West Forty-sixth street.
Detectives worked night ana day, but
failed to discover the murderer. Now
Johnson says that the murderer con-
fessed to him as soon as the rime.
The guilty man, according to Jonn-
sons story, came to his house about a
week before the girls mutilated body
was discovered. His clothing was COW
cred with blood, and he said he had
been in a fight in "Hell's Kitchen
Johnson says he gave the man clean
shirt and a pair of trousers, and the
blood-stained clothing was carried
away.
After Susie's body had been discover
ed, Johnson declares his friend cen
fessed to him. The man said he was
intoxicated when he met the girl in
Thirty-ninth street. He dragged her
into the cellar and, after assaulting her,
chaked her to deSth, and then cut up
her body so nobody could tell who she
was.

STILL MISSING
NO MORE BODIES FOUND IN
HOTEL RUINS.
Many Fragments of Bones Discovered
By the Workn1en = Five Bodies
Taken Out Await Naturalization.

New York, March 22.-Beside the nj
teen dead whose bodies have been re-
covered, forty-nine persons who are
supposed to have been in the WINDSOR
hotel when it was destroyed on Friday
are yet unaccounted for. No podles
were recovered today, but shortly AFTER
6 O. clock tonight fragment OF charreo
flesh was found on the Fifth avenue
! side ot the ruins, near where othef
bodies were found, but deeper down. :
The five bodies that were recovered
on Monday and Tuesday or what re-
mains of them, are still at the morgue.
One has partly been identified by two
of the hotel employees as that of Mrs.
Margaret Auzee of New York, but this
Identification is not considered conclu-
sive.
The rain today interfered with the
rapid progress of the work to some eX-
tent, and it was not until the afternoon
that the workers succeeded in getting
steadily down to the removal of he
debris.
The fire department still has its lines
about the ruins, isolating a considerable
section of one of the busiest parts of
the city.
A force of about $50 men was en-
ployed throughout the afternoon, and
new shift Of the same number was
put ON at night.
A number of bones were taken out
of the Fifth avenue side of the ruins,
near by a place where there was a body
found yesterday. The bones were re-
moved from one another, but there were
not sufficient pieces to make up a body.
Some corset steels found about the spot
led to the belief that the bones were
part of the body of a woman. None of
the bones could be classified. Bones
were found now and then during the
night in various parts of the ruins. The
bones were found one at a time, and
there were not a great many in all. IN
a great many cases they could not be
classified.
What are supposed to be the remains
of three bodies were taken out of the
Windsor hotel ruins at a late hour to-
night. These three bring the list of
dead to eighteen. There are thirty
seven persons missing.
The first find was made near the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Forty-siXth
street. The workmen uncovered the
remains Of body, consisting of a num-
Der of charred bones. Portions of a
heavy silk skirt and some bead work
found with the bones gave the impress
sion that the body was that of a WOm-
an. Subsequently portions of what are
believed by the police to be two bodies
were found near the elevator shaft.
Nothing was found to Identify them.
Those who examined the remains
thought they were the bones of an
adult and a boy, the latter being pos
sibly the elevator boy, Warren Guyon,
who is among the missing. The remains
have been taken to the morgue
Shortly after o'clock tonight frag-
ment of charred flesh was found on the
Fifth avenue side of the ruins

SHERMAN STILL IMPROVING
WILL BOARD THE CRUISER
CHICAGO TODAY.
Story of His Death Was Started By
the French Gable Company-Went
On Deck.

Santiago de Cuba, March 22.-Mr.
Sherman at this hour continues to i'm
prove, and will be moved from his cab
in on deck this afternoon for an hour.
General Wood was on board, paying a
visit to Mr.. Sherman. The city is full
Of tourists, who have landed from the
American liner.
1t now turns out, respecting the re-
port of Mr.. Sherman's death, which is
the main topic of conversation today.
that the announcement was made by
the French Gable company and the sig
nal corps, within ten minutes of each
other. When Captain Leigh, the chief
signal officer. ascertained that the re-
port was erroneous, he Immediately
communicated with Guantanamo sta
ton. to ascertain the cause of the blum
der The man in charge of the station
reported that, having received mes
sage of inquiry as to Mr.. Sherman's
health, and not having any information
himself, he visited the manager of the
French Gable company, who assured
him that the report of the death was
well founded. Thereupon he telegraph
ed confirmation of the rumor, having
no reason to doubt the assurance given
him. The French Gable company's Off
Gals here claim to know nothing re-
garding the matter. Mr.. Shermans
relatives on board the Paris are natur-
ally somewhat indignant at somebody
stupendous blunder, but Captain Leigh
considers that the man in charge of
the Guantanamo signal office was en-
tirely justified in accepting the state
ment of the French Cable company's
manager.
Mr. Sherman's condition this evening
continues about the same. He rested
quite comfortably throughout the day
and if anything, is somewhat better.
He expects to go on board the cruiser
Chicago tomorrow.
Meanwhile the tourists are swarming
over the city. after having visited all
the scenes of fighting which preceded
the surrender.

lum, daughter of the Hon. John Sher-
man, received a cablegram today from
Mr.. Wiberg, who is accompanying the
former secretary of state, on his tour
of the West Indies, announcing Mr..
Shermans continued Improvement
The Chicago will probably arrive at
Santiago tonight, and if Mr.. Sherman
and his friends are still of the same
mind, will take him aboard and bring
him home. AS to the landing place, it
is said by Secretary Long that the COM
mander of the Chicago, Captain Cooper,
will be guided entirely by the wishes of
Mr.. Sherman's family, and if it is de-
sired that he be taken to some Florida
port OF avert danger from a too rapid
climatic change, that course will be
adopted. Ii the Chicago leave Santiago
tomorrow, according to the present in
tention, she should reach Tampa, if
that port is selected as the landing
place, by Sunday evening, probably
taking the western route, by way of
Cape Antonio, to keep in smooth water
as far as possible.
