in a Philadelphia Park
by Toughs
ALLEGED CONFESSION SECURED

Philadelphia. Feb. 10. - Three per
SOUS were arrested yesterday, one ct
them charged with the murder or
Richard Marle, aged 13 years, whose
body was found In Fairmount Park,
end another accused Of completely in
tie crime. The third is said TO be q
Witness. William Stout, aged 80 years,
tie police say is the principal. The
others are William Staudemeer, IA
years old, and Lewis Weiner, aged 10
years. Staudemeer is detained as q
witness. All three prisoners were held
to await the action Of the coroner.
Stout Is said TO have confessed his
guilt and TO have implicated Weiner,
who is charged with being an acces.
sorry before and after the fact. Both
men were identified by Staudemeer.
The evidence as gathered by the
ccroner's officials shows that Maule
was terribly maltreared by Stout at a
place in Fairmount Park near Bel.
mont, and that Weiner was present at
the time. The injuries to the child
were so severe that he died during
their infliction. The two men then car
ried his dead body out on the park
I trolley bridge and forced it into q
crevice between an iron stringcr and
an abutment, so that the back was
broken and the limbs twisted entirely
around.
II appears that on Saturday last
Stout bought bottle Of whisIey and
asked a crowd OF boys. whose ages
vary from 10 20 1S years, to meet him
al Belmont. lie said he would give
them all they wanted to wrink. This
crowd is given a bad name by the po
lice. On Saturday Stout met the
gang and they jumped on a coal train
and went out to Belmont. Stout gave
each boy some whiskey, and asked
several in particular to go with him
All refused except Maule. Accom-
panied by Weiner, Stout and Maul'
went to Belmont near the line of the
trolley to Glenside. The Maule boy wat
drunk. and so was Stout.
During the maltreatment of the la,
Maule was killed Weiner, who hal
been under surveillance by the polio
for some days, confessed these cir
cumstances Wednesday night lie dc
MED that he, too, attacked Maule.
