BOY CONFESSES MURDER.
BRUCE SAYS HE AND HALLENGECK'S
NEPHEws FIRED FATAL SHOTS.

Hudson. n Y, Dec. 2S-A sequel to one of the
most sensational murders ever committed in
New-York State eliminated this afternoon in
the confession of Harvey Bruce, twenty-one
years old, in the form of a statement to his
mother and aunt. The statement is witnessed
by Mayor Charles s. Harvey and County Treas
urer George X. Macy, and tells how the murder
Of Peter A. Hallenbeck the wealthy farmer of
Greenport, was committed by himself and VIII
lis, Burton and Fred Van Wormer, brothers
respectively twenty twenty three and twenty
six years old, nephews of the murdered man.
The confession shows that the murder was de-
liberately planned. The prisoners. who lived in
Kinderhook. eighteen miles from the Hallenbeck
home. rode Christmas Eve TO the of
the crime, tied their horse to the barn of the
victim, walked 20 the rear of the house. raped
on the door, and. when the old man opened it,
shot him to death, firing thirteen shots eleven
Of which penetrated the body. The crime was
witnessed by Hallenbeck's wife and old mother.
The Van Wormer family lived until last fall in
a house in Greenport mortgaged to Hallenbeck.
The mortgage was foreclosed and the family
evicted This was the basis OF the i'll will held
against the victim.
On Christmas Day the nephews were arrested,
with Bruce, at Undertook. Their mother and
friends tried hard by testimony before the cor
oner TO establish an alibi declaring that the
boys were at home by . o'clock on Christmas
Eve The officials had strong evidence against
them. The shoes OF the boys fitted accurately
into footprints in the snow. The boys bought
masks from a notion dealer at Kinderhook on
the afternoon of the murder. and the men who
did the shooting wore masks. Four revolvers
were found in the boys home. The mother, in
her testimony, swore they spent the day of the
murder cleaning them; that they were good
boys but never left home without putting the
revolvers in their pockets. Describing which
revolver belonged to each boy, she said the 3S-
calibre revolver was Harvey Bruce's the smaller
calibres were those of her three sons The
physicians who held the post mortem say the
3S-calibre pistol produced the fatal wounds the
minor wounds being by the 32-calibres
