New York, Sept 2S.-William H.
 Young, who is accused of murdering
 Mrs. Anna Pulitzer, was locked in a cell at police headquarters at 9:5C o'clock this morning. He was brought from Derby, Conn.,, by Detective Ser geants Finlay and Hughes of the de-
 tective bureau. They took the 7:1S
 train from Derby,$ and changed at
 Bridgeport to New York train. At
 the Grand Central station large crowd had assembled to see Young, and it
 was with considerable difficulty that the
 police got him to the carriage that was
 in waiting. Hughes guarded the pris-
 oner on the trip down town, while Fin
 lay sat on the seat with the driver. Young was most disreputable looking He wore old soiled trousers, dilapidat- ed coat of a checked pattern, and a bi- cycle cap so much too large that the band was pinned up in the back. He was unshaven, but appeared little flus- tered or agitated. On the trop down to the train he spenr the time either talking to his counsef, Mir. Hart, oi reading the newspapers. In the latter
 case he invariably perused the printed accounts of his own deeds and of the
 search for him. In the opinion of the
 men who have had Young under obser- vation yesterday and to-day he is men. tally unsound.
 While on the train some one offered
 Young a cigarette. He refused, saying ,A ss1n to ha hoxy Then he added: No more cigarettes ol
 whiskey for me. They've always got
 me into trouble" To show his earnest ness, when he got into New York, he
 asked one of the party to buy him 6
 package of anti-nicotine remedy. After Young had been at police head quarters for more than an hour Cap | tain Titus gave out the following state-
 ment as the confession made at Derby | last night:
 About three weeks ago T. met the man in Central park who said he was | Charles Simpson Filing. He was de- generate and called regularly thereaf- ter at my flat, No. 103 West Fifty eighth street. On the night of the mur- der we two met Mrs. Pulitzer by ap- l pointment at Broadway and Forty sixth street The three of us went to my flat together, and I went out for some whiskey. When L returned | found Mrs. Pulitzer lying on her back
 across the bed with gag in her mouth I endeavored to force respiration by moving her arms, but found that her heart had stopped beating.
 Then I started to find the police. When I reached the street I thought l would go to headquarters. and, believ- l ing it was in the city hall. started down on the elevated road. On the way I thought of the disgrace this l would bring on me and my father, and turned back and started to get rid of | the body I returned to the house and l took long knife and started to cut her
 up so as to make it easy to put the
 body in a trunk. I made only one cut I was afraid to cut any further I Captain Titus refused to go into any | further details and intimated that Young had not further described his efforts to dispose of the body. Captain i Titus added that he had asked Young | to describe Filing, the alleged accom- plice. Filing, Young said, was about | five feet seven inches in height, smooth face, was pale and 'had a clear bright look" Young said that Filling, when 1 he last saw him, was dressed in dark
 clothes, and wore straw hat. The po- 1 lice are skeptical as to Filings exist ] ence.
 Assistant District Attorney Garvan
 who was present when Captain Titus made public the confession, said that there would be two coroners' investiga tions, in New Jersey over the body, and l in New York of the crime.
 At 11:3O o'clock Young was taken to the coroners' offices in the criminal courts building. A crowd of 300 people surrounded the rear entrance of police headquarters, and when Young saw them he looked frightened, trembled l and hesitated about going forward, un- 4;1 ,,rao1 oIonu hv tha datoc+ ;1ya e,o,,
