GA, TUESDAY MORNING. L.,
BIDDLE BANDITS 60
TO THEIR LONG HOME
succumb to Wounds Received
In Fight With Posse.
BOTH MAKE DYING CONFESSIONS

Mrs. soffeI's Condition Is Probemati-
caI-Pneumonia Has Developed and
1t Is a Question Whether She Will
Live or Die.
Butler, Pa, Feb. 3.-The Biddle
brothers. Ed and Jack, died from their
wounds Saturday night.
Mrs. Soffel's condition is problemati-
cal Pneumonia has developed and
she is suffering great pain.
She declares that death has aided
her in releasing the Biddles from the
gallows and she is satisfied and is now
ready for her fate.
Rev. Father Walsh, rector of St.
Pauls Roman Catholic church, who
ministered to the Biddles in their dy-
ing hours, spoke touchmgly Of them
to the members Of his congregation.
He touched briefly on their statements
given out and said it was for every
the innocence or guilt of the men.
When seen at his residence this af.
ternoon Father Walsh said:
Both Ed and Jack Biddle made con.
fessions to me. Eds was made on
Friday night. There was no one pres
ent but myself and Jack lying in the
next cell. Jack did not confess until
yesterday. Their confessions were full
and complete in every particular and
they will never be revealed.
while ministering to them almost
every hour after they were brought to
jail they often would talk to me of how
they were wrongly accused of crimes.
They denied positively that they killed
Grocer Kahney in Mount Washington,
and Ed told me in the most emphatic
terms that he did not shoot Detective
Fitzgerald.
THE poor boys died like dogs, lit
orally riddled with bullets, and some
one should be held responsible for in
human actions in shooting them when
entirely helpless, unarmed and unable
to make the slightest defense"
Yesterday evening the bodies of the
Biddles were removed from jail to one
of the Railways of the sherifP's dwell
ing and the public was given an op-
portunitv of looking at the two noto-
rious criminals. Hundreds of people
yesterday braved the worst blizzard
of the year, besieging the jail doors
for admittance, which was refused un.
til the evening, when the doors of the
dwelling house. attached to the Jail,
were opened and the public was ad-
mitted.

WATERBURY, CONN.,,
HAS 100000 FIRE
Best Business Portion Goes
Up In Smoke.
HIGH WIND TANNED FLAMES

Fire Started In Dry Goods Store of
Reid and Hughes, and as Flremen
Were Fighting 1t Another Broke Out
In the ScoviIIe House.
Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 3.-For ten
hours last night and this morning
hames famed by a high wind held
sway over the business portion of this
city, causing a loss that will exceed
S3,0OO,000. The best business portion
of the city, forming a triangle bound
ed on the north by Exchange place,
on the west by Bank street, on the
south by Grand street and on the east
by South Main street was almost
wiped ouE.
Started In Dry Goods Store.
The first fire, which started in the
big store of the Reid & Hughes Dry
Goods company, on Bank street, was
not considered under control until
about $3,000,000 worth of property had
been destroyed. About the time the
tiremen supposed they had the flames
under control second fire broke out
in the ScOville house, the city's lead
ing hotel, remodeled by the late Judge
E. G. Lewis few years ago at an ex-
pense of $4,000, and the establish
ment was completely wrecked. The
occupants of the hotel were forced to
seek the streets in their night clothes
With the ringing of a second alarm
the entire city was thrown into
panic. There was fierce gale blow
ing and sparks from the burning hotel
were driven in showers over a great
area. The Occupnast of buildings To-
Gated in the path Of the wind prepared
to leave. Although the Waterbury fire
department was reinforced from near
by cities, it was for time impossible
to stay the progress of the flames. The
fire in it's entirety burned over four
acres Of the city's best business sec
tion. Among the prominent buildings
totally destroyed are the block Occu-
pied by the Reid & Hughes Dry Goods
company, the plant of the Waterbury
American, the Masonic temple, the
Scoville and Franklin houses, the W.
l.. Douglas Shoe company, the John.
son block, the Salvation Army working
mems home and scores of other build
ings. In all about 100 of the most
prominent business houses are burned
out.
