MOAI HOUSE MURDERER
Confessed His Crime Before 
 Being Executed.

SOA1S1A W as G 0OAu D oOI 4cd1S All
 ter Being Killed and When Hope of
 Solving the Mystery Had Been Civ
 en Up.
 London, July 14-Samuel Henbert Dougal, the perpetrator of the Moat house murder, who was convicted at the Chelmsford assizes on June 23 of the killing of Miss Camille Cecil Hol- land at Saffron Walden, Essex, and sentenced to death. was hanged at the Chelmsford jail at o'clock this morn ing, after making a full confession of his crime.
 The Moat house murder, as it was known, was committed over four years ago and hope of solving the mystery had almost been given up when the body of the victim. Miss Holland. was found last April buried in the Moat house grounds.
 Miss Holland was the owner of Moat house. About four years ago Dougal, who was supposed to be, her husband, but who, it was discovered subse- quently, had never been married to her, made his appearance there, and Nhloc 1UuSdl, supposed 10 DG ms SIS ter, took up her residence in the place. Miss Holland then disappeared sudden ly and Dougal sued the woman sup posed to be his sister, but who really was his wife, for divorce. This aroused suspicion and led to an inves- tfgation. Douga1 was arrested for cashing a check purporting to have been signed by Miss Holland, and while he was in custody the body of Miss Holland, for which thorough but unsuccessful search had been made, was accidentally found by la lborer in an old ditch which had been pIante over with shrubs nearly four years previously. The laborer struck his fork into a hard substance, which proved to be woman's shoe contain ing woman's foot Then Miss HoI- lands body was found lying face down ward.
 An examination showed that the head had been pierced by bullet, which was found in the skull.
 Dougal was suspected of having made away with at least five wives.

AT SYCAMORE HILL
Jews in Conference
 With President
DISCUSSED RUSSIAN oUTRAGEs
Also the Monster Petition That Has Been Presented President Saw Doc ument To-Day for First Time-Inti- mation Given Out That It May, Not Be Forwarded to Russia.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 14.-An inn portant conference was held at Saga more Hull to-day between the presi- dent and representative Jewish citizens of the society of B'Nai B'R1th regard ing the petition to the Russian gov ermment on the Kishinef outrages. Be sides the president the parties to the conference were Simon $. Wolf of Washington, Oscar $. IStraus and Leo N. Levi of New York
 The administration has been embar- rassed by the delay of the representa- tives of the B'Nai B'Rith society in presenting the petition. A draft of the docume ent was handed to President Roosevelt several weeks ago by MT Wolf, but it was decided after some consideration to modify the text of the petition before presenting it formally to this government for transmittal to Russia. Time was desired, too, to obtain to the petition the signatures of representative citizens of the United States of all the religious faiths. As a result the document was not placed in the hands of the president until to- day.
 The result of the conference. at Sa- gamore Hill has not been disclosed yet, but g strong intimation is given that the petition may not be forwarded to the Russian government. The desire of both, the president and Secretary Hay is that the Kishineff incident should be closed as soon as possible, as further delay in its consideration
 
 ernment in other diplomatic negotia- tons with Russia.
 Inasmuch as the Russian govern ment has indicated by the adoption of severe measures a genuine disposition to punish adequately the perpetrators of the Kishineff murders and in addl- ton those who instigated them, it is 3 problem for the president and Secre- tary Hay to solve whether the repre- sentations concerning the incident now are either desirable or necessary.
 It is suggested that the whole mat ter may be resolved into brief state ment through diplomatic channels to the Russian foreign office that such 3 petition is in the hands of the United States. thus leaving it to Russia to say whether it would or would not receive the document if it were presented. Ii would close the incident without sub iecting United States relation witt Russia to a strain and it is regarded would be quite as effective as the ac tual presentation of the petition. The members of the Jewish commission to gefher with Dr Albert Shaw, editor od the Review of Reviews, and his friend from England, Maurice SheldoI Amos, were the guests of the president at luncheon.
 Secretary Root left this morning al $50 for Washington. He said that ht could not sail for England before Au gust 23 because it was desirable tha1 he should see the general staff in ful operation before he left the country.

To Pack Eggs.

Mrs. M. Connolly of Fessenden in
the Dakota Farmer: The following
method will be found a good one for
those wishing to pack eggs for winter
Select perfectly fresh eggs and rub
each one with bit Of good salty but
ter and pack with small end down in A
box or tub. Keep in cool dry place.
The butter closes the pores and so
excludes the air. thus preventing the
decay of the egg. The secret Of sue
cess lies In packing perfectly fresh
eggs.

Eyersrd's Ffieads Iadignant Over HIS
treatment ny Detective Lyons.

The father and friends OF young James
Eyerarci. the nephew OF the brewer. pro-
fessed to be very indignant yesterday
over the conduct Of Detective Lyons OF
the fire marshal's Office. Lyons is the
detective who on Friday afternoon got

accompanied the detective voluntarily

According to Fire Marshal Freei, young
Everard was arrested and indicted year
ago on a charge Of causing a series OF let
ter-box fires In his neighborhood. His
lawyer, Mr.. Neubergcr. subsequently got
,ites and afterward on his motion. Recorder
Goff dismissed the indictment.
The case In which the young man became
involved before appears to have been
the only reason that he was visited by
Detective Lyons on Friday.
Fire Marshal Freel refused yesterd ay
to discuss the incident beyond saying that
Lyons, he thought, had acted entirely
within the law In getting the young man
to do "a he did. Everard, he said. knew
that he was not under arrest. The charge
OF backmail. he said, was absurd.
As a matter of fact, the investigation
which The Fire Marshal has made Of the
flatho,lse fire has about disprovetl the
incendiary theory, the only support for

after the fire. and the Fire Marshal says
he has learned that the housekeeper had

The fire, it was found, really started in this
closet.
Fire Marshal Free eaid yesterday that
he was about convinced that the fire was
not incendiary,
