Negroes Terrible Crime.

Bridgeton, N. j.. August pa
confession from job William. who was
arrested yesterday on suspicion of fir.
ing the barn and causn. the death
OF aged John S. Holmes and his
housekeeper, Catherine Shute, has
cleared up much Of the mystery
whchsurrounded thetragedy. Will
liams confessed that lie robbed the
farmer and set the barn on fire, but
be declares that he did not kill the
old couple. Still. the officers will en-
deayer to show that he Is guilty Of
the more horrible crime. for In the
room he occupied ut the farm they
have found an empty pistol and shells
that fit it.. The remains OF the old
couple were 90 far burned that it is
not possible to tell whether they were
injured before the fire. Williams
crime Is not lessened in enormIty by
that fact, however, since he admits
that after he had go1e to the burning
barn with MIR. Holmes and Miss Shute
as the blaze broke forth he shut the
door on them and sped to the house
to secure the money be coveted and
and for which he committed the ter.
rible deed.
Last night Coroner MCPHERSON
and Charles j. Fithian, neighbor
of Holmes, visited the Jail and had
an interview with Williams. Tn.
der pressure he admitted stealing
the money. but denied that he COM
mltted arson.
The statement he made was jolted
down by the Coroner aud aiterward
read over to him. He declared it to
be true and signed his name to it.
After the Coroner left the Jail
broke down and was in
tears for a long while. Sheriff
Hendee and Justice of the Peace
Samuel Hall pressed him to tell all
and he made a full confession OF
both arson and robbery. but denied
the charge Of killing the old couple,
This confession was taken down
in writing Wy Justice Hall and
signed by Williams. He declared
hat he was desperate because he
had no cDthes suitable tor the we'd
ding cefemony. He had told his
trends and br,de-to.te that he was
prepared with clothing. out when
he night previous to the wedding
came lie had no suit and but 81 ia
money which had just been advan- |
led him by Mr.. Holmes. The fire
was planned to get the old folks
away from the house 80 that he
:ould rob the desk.

" THE CATTLE KING"

1t seldom falls to the lot of an
actor to mrke his bow as "star"
in the very play which most struck
his fancy at the beginning of his
career, and unless the play is Shak-
spears, he seldom cares to do 50, as
his taste usually changes his ex-
perience.
1.-THE Cattle King with Jas H.
Wallick, as the king" made a
great impression upon John J. Far
rell. years ago, and those wonderful
horses haunted his dreams formany
days.
Now, having had much expert
ence in leading roles, in some of the
best plays Of the last ten years, he
Is to play the parts originated by
Mr.. Wailick in the new Cattle
King and Bandit King" and
happier man it would be hard to
find Mr.. Farrell says in the whole
range Of this drama, no characters
could be found which would suit
better or SO awake his enthusiasm.
The Bandit King" will be given
at the Grand Opera House on next
Thursday evening and the Cattle
King at special Friday matinee
and~also on Friday evening.
