How the Biddles and Mrs. SoffeI
Hoped to Reach Canada.

BUTLER Pa, Feb. 2.-Wearing the garb
of nuns OF the Roman Catholic Church the
Biddles and Mrs Soffel had resolved to
make their escape from prison. 1t was
Mrs. Soffers plan, and the arrangement
was that as soon as the trio had reached
a place of temporary safety they were to
don the black robes and~yeils as travelling
Sisters of Mircy. They had planned to
make for sOfne remote mining place in
Canada, where they were to live together.
John Biddle told DR.. Bricker before he
died that they were at a loss for some plan
to disguise themselves when they broke
Jail. This problem was unsolved for days.
At last Mrs SOffel hit upon the means
already described.
Edward Bddle told Mrs. Sofel he had
many friends in Toledo, o.. and in Mich
igan. When once among them they would
secure some assurance OF their future free
dom. With Mrs. Soffel Edward Biddle
planned their future husband and wife.
The thought that though the means was
death, she had assisted her lover to escape
the scaffod, seemed to soothe Mrs. Soffel
to-day. She remarked TO the attendants in
the hospital that she had accomplished her
purpose and was ready to meet her fate
At midnight conflicting reports were cur
rent concerning Mrs. Sof1el's condition. One
was that the symptoms of pneumonia are
becoming pronounced and if not checked
soon would prove fatal. Miss Cook, fnatron
at the hospital, however, said she consid-
cred Mrs. Soffels case as progressing
favorably.

DEATHBED CONFESSIONS.
Rev. Father Walsh Says Both the Bid
dies Made Dying Statements


BUTLER, Pa, Feb. 2.-The pastors of
nearly all of the churches in Butler to-day
referred to the sensational capture on Fri
day of Mrs. Kate Soffel and John and Ed
ward Biddle, who died in the county Jail
last night
Rev. Father Walsh, rector of St Paurs
Roman Catholic Church. who ministered to
the Biddles in their dying hours, spoke
touchingly of them to the members of his
congregation. He touched briefly on their
statements given out and said it was for
every person to decide for themselves as
to the innocence or guilt of the men.
When seen at his residence this afternoon
Father Walsh said: Besides the state
ments given out by the Biddle boys to the
newspapers and officers, both Edward and
John Biddle made confessions to me. Ed
wards was made on Friday night There
was no one present but myself and John,
lying in the next cell. John did not confess
until yesterday. Their confessions were
full and complete in every particular. and
they will never be revealed. While min

they were brought to JAIL they often would

that they killed Grocer Kahney in Mount

Evangelical Lutheran Church, in his SER
mon tonight spoke at length Of the GRIM
inal history made in Butler county in the
past few days. He criticised severely the
woman, whom ne held responsible for the
whole affair. He said THE Biddles and
Mrs Soffel made vain flight from justice,
and retribution swiftly came upon them
