THE FOSBURG MURDER.
Mr.. Fosburg, Senior, Believes His Son
IsInnocent.

New York, Jan. SO-Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Fosburg of Pittstield, Mass, the
father and mother of Robert Stewart Eos-
burg, under Indictment for the killing of
his sister May, last August, are guests at
the Astor houss today. When asked as
o the purpose OF their visit MIR. Fcsburg
said:
at is entirely personal matter that
brings us here. There Is no secret about
it. My wife's brother sails for Europe
this afternoon, and We have come to see
him oil.
Speaking OF the arrest of his son, Mr..
Fosburg said:
"From the START 1 have refused to ad-
vance any theories for this strange action
OF Chief Nicholson. 1 do not wish to
antagonize him. or course have my
opinions, hut shall not express them now.
Ihe time Will come when can do so
with more force. You may have heard,
however, that outside detectives were
called into the case and that the Pitts
field chief OF police became greatly In
sensed.
before the burglars entered my house
and murdered my daughter, two mysteri-
GUS cases that She police have failed to
field. The police were unable to do any
thing with them and now, that another
case OF such magnitude has come up, It
was probably apparent to the police that
somet thing must be done, as the police
system had been assailed on that account.
I'VE have told the story OF that dread
full night several times, but there ara two
places we have never been asked to tall 1t
at the coroners inquest and before the
grand jury.
Mira Fosburg and mysslf and all our
family have not the slightest fear OF the
outcome. We know that our son did not
kill our daughter, and that when the
proper time arrives all this will be shown.
l may say frankly that am here either
to confer with detectives or to engage
additional counsel for my son. 1t il true,
as has been told In despatch from Pitts
teld, that we are looking for man
named Quinn. A day or two before my
daughter was murdered, house two
blocks away from mine was robbed. A
psouiiar feature or the burglary Is the
fact that the same kind OF matches used
by this burglars there were found in my
house.

The afternoon session opened with
reaiing of the minutes Of the morning
session, and the reading of Mrs. Osgood S
motion came in as follows:
BE it recorded that the Maine Fedora
ton disclaims ali responsibility for the
introduction CT this topic of a New Eng
land Federation of Women's clubs, and
denies ever having had any intention of
forming such an organization. This
motion was promptly endorsed by the
convention.
Mrs. +. b. Clark of p ortland, as chair
man OF the committee on education,
gave report OF the work of her commit
tee, though Mrs. Clark said 1t was not a

Superintendent Stetson came to the
platform after Mira Clark's report and
made a ringing speech for the education
al work In Maine, with an appeal to
the Federation women for their sympa-

MIR. Stetson said he knew but little OF
the work of the Federation except tn
educational committee, ana of the good
results they had brought about by
their influence In securing better lots,
buildings, and SO on, for the schools and
decorations as we'll as for the interior OF
the buildings. Mr.. Stetson plea was
an excellent one for the common schools
and for the necessity Of teaching children
in the old-fashionei way of making
thsm learn things in the old-fashioned
way. and teaching them as well the
realization of responsibility. Mr..
Ststson felt that perhaps there was too
much 'coddling'' of children nova
days. and that they were not taught
enough to master subject for them
selves. The superintendent felt that too
many topics were taught in the school,
