FATHER KILLED Them
Five Little French Children Were
Not Murdered by
Tramps.

Chartres, France, April 24.-The
bodies of the five murdered children
of the farmer, Briere, who were killed
April p, were inferred this afternoon
in a common grave. The bishop of
Charities, the municipal officers and
the entire population Of the village
where the crimes were committed and
numbers of strangers followed the
bodies to the grave.
Briere, who claimed the murders
were committed by two tramps, but
who is suspected OF .-aving slain the
children himself in a fit of drunken
madness, mas not confessed, but the
authorities are satisfied that he is the
murderer. One of the conclusive evil
dences of his guilt was discovered by
pure accident. He planned and car
ried out the crimes in the most cold
blooded manner and upset the furni-
ture to convey the idea that the al
legged murderers had ransacked the
house for robbery. But in overturning
a drawer he broke a bottle of ink and
the doctors, in dressing his wounds,
found his finger tips stained with ink.
The motive of the murders appears
to be that Briere wanted to marry a
widow who had rejected him on &C.
count of his large family:
The crime has caused tremendous
excitement throughout France.

BIC SCHEME
SENATOR STEALS MARCH ON
GOTHAM CAPITALISTS.
HAS VALUABLE CONCESSION
Chief Figure in Syndicate to
Build West Street
Viaduct.
HAS VALUABLE CONCESSION

New York, April 24.-The Herald is
authority for the statement that it is
asserted that Senator William A.
Clark's millions are waiting to back
the enormously valuable concessions
which has been made by the legisla.
ture in the Raines bill, giving the New
York and New Jersey Bridge company
the right to build a viaduct along West
street, from Fifty-ninth street to the
Battery. The reports that Senator
Clark is the chief figure in the syndi-
cate which is said to be behind the
bridge bill are said to be borne out by
the fact that a member of mis- family
is prominently connected with the
project.
DR.. Everett Mallory Culver, who
married the daughter of the Montana
millionaire, is president of the bridge
corporation, which is associated with
a similar corporation. headed by
James S. Clarkson, in this state in the
great enterprise.
Should all this be verified and
should Senator Clark come into pos.
session Of the privileges given by the
legislature he would be able to die
tate terms, it is said, to 16 railways,
which would have to use his bridge in
order to obtain access to the docks.

don before he starts west next Mon
day. AS the papers came from Cali
fornia directly to him, it is impossible
to get any information whether the
judges still insist that the sentence
imposed upon Mckenzie was fair, or
whether they have relented and rec
ommend executive clemency.
Unless the trial judge who pro-
nounced sentence and the prosecuting
attorney who had charge Of the case
consent to a pardon, it is believed it
will be denied. It is reported from
San Francisco that Judge Morrow will
relent after Mckenzie has served 80
days, which is considered a long i'm
prlsonment for contempt of court, and
in that event Mckenzie will soon be
given his liberty.
There are more names Of influential
men on the petition for pardon than on
any similar doucument that has been
before the department of justice for
years. It was remarked today by an
official, who has had something to do
with the papers in the Mckenzie case
and that of Judge Moves, that personal
influence and pull does not count for
much in an appeal for pardon, unless
the presiding judge and district attor-
ney concede the point that justice was
being done. This official pointed out
the tremendous efforts made in the
case of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, in
the Nicely and Rathbone cases and in
many others Of less public notoriety.
He said tersely: The law claims it's
victims and it is only where the law
has been fully INDICATED that clemen-
cy can be shown"
