DR.. Jackson Campbell, Tombs Physician, Who
Has Made a Study Of Criminals and Their
Subterfuges, Says the Slayer of Anna Pull
itzer Is Not Demented.
Young Man Tells an Amazing Story Of the
Crime and Declares He Had an Accomplish
Named &C. S. Filing" Who Was the Real
Murderer Of the Woman.

Dr.. Jackson Campbell, official physician at the Tonbs,
watched Murderer William Hooper Young in a cell in the
Hospital Ward of the prison for three hours to-day. He
said, after careful scrutiny:
81 have dealt with many hundreds of prisoners,
and am in a position to judge their Wi1es and
their ways. I have studied Young carefully,
and 1 am convinced that he is not insane
that he IS simply shannin9."
The confession of Young after his arrival here to-day
from Derby, Conn, where he was captured, to the effect
that he had an accomplish, is not credited by the police.
His own lawyer refuses to indorSe it.
HE SEEKS A
1t is thought that his bringing in the name of Charles
Simpson Filing into the murder of Anna Pulitzer was with
the purpose of establishing a defense.
There may be such a man, but that he was implicated
in this murder is not credited.
There is much to disprove the story told by Young, which is
believed by the police to have been concocted by him when he
found that he was trapped.
In the first place he says he and Filing met the woman by ap-
pointment. This is disprovcd by the fact that the woman left her
home to make purchases at a bakery, that she made the purchases
and was on the way home when Young met her.
Young says Filing accompanied him and the woman to the
Clarence. A cabman has been found who drove Young and the
woman to the place. There was no other man.
HE TOPPE DLSMEMBERMENT.
Young says that when he tried to CUT up the body the stencil was so
BAD he could nt continue. II woman not been dead, by his own
statement. more than an hour when he tried to dismember the body 81 this
statement is obviously untrue. Decomposition had scarcely set in when
the body was found in the canal in New Jersey
What object Filing coul' have had in gagging the woman and killing
:er is not plain. Young got her diamonds and jeweEy The diamonds he
sold for $3.50 he told Capt Titus. They we're worth $3.50. He does not re-
member to whom he sold the stones
In his first statement he said that he left New York with Filing and that
they walked to Rrewsters together. Again he said he had not seen Filing
after the night of the murder.
The fact that he expressed the trunk in which he had carried the body
to &c. S. Filing, Chicago" leads to the belief that Filing is a real parsonage
and not a hgmeHt of Youngs imagination:
Lawyer Hart, who is representing Young, said this afternoon that he
hoped thsre vas such a person as Filing and that the police would find him.
NO M HAS SEE Ell
"An l. can say is that 1 don't know whether there is any UGH a nan or
not" said MI. Hart. 81 think the most the statement does is to stamp my
client Is undoubtedly insane"
No one n be found about the Clarence who ever saw a man such a is
described by Young as Filing about the place. Capt. schmittberger says
Filing is a myth
Filling will never be found, because he does not exist" said Cant
schmittberger. He has been conjured up by Young for a defense.
~ am glad we have got Young and his story. Toe much credit cannot
be given the newspapers. 1t was the publicity in this Ease that led to the
mans capture. although will not say that he would not have been can

THE THEORY OF &C. S. EILING."
81 think l can explain how Young came to think of the name of Charles
6. Filing for his mythical accomplish" Capt Schmitberger continued. His
giving the name of Bert Edwards when arrested in Derby shows that his
mind reverts to people he has known, and he uses their names indiscrini-
nately when he gets into trouble. He had known Bert Edwards out west
while in Hoboken he knew a girl named Ebnng. The name of the
father of the girl was Charles s. Ebnng. When he cam to ship the trunk
to Chicago he had to think of a name. The nam of EbIng came to his mind
and he determined Ito use it, but in his agitation lie wrote it Filing.
When arrested he remembered about shipping the trunk. He had read
y the Sunday papers that 1t had been found. and with q shrewdness char
