surance companies can reach here to take
his deposition. To-day, through an inter-
prefer, he blamed his son for getting him
into the trouble and told how the fraud
scheme was worked. He said he was the
keeper of fruit stand in New York sew
erel years ago. when he was approached
by Joe Ross, who wanted him to have his
life insured promising to meet all expenses.
Ciccione signed the application and says
he thought no more of the matter until
the detectives came and told me my son
had said / was dead and buried. The mon
ey / received for signing the paper would
not pay for a bunch of bananas 1 am told
my son collected the money on my policy.
''The manner in which the insurance
frauds were worked in New York 1 am

the life of an old man. and then body was
obtained from the morgue. which was bur-
led in the name of the live man. The ap-

The activity of La Souffriere during last

in violent eruption. throwing a black cloud
over the entire colony. The country people
are terrified. The lands beyond George
town and Chateau Belair. where the erosion
of the former deposits has been rapid since

WOMAN'S HORRIBLE DEED
MRS. PETER BURKE KILLS HER
FOUR CHILDREN WITH AN AK,
Throws Bodies Into a Closet, POurs
OIL Over Them and Herself, Applies
. Match and Cuts Own Throat.

STURBRIDGE, Mass, March 23.-Mrs.
Peter Burke. of Fiskdale, after cutting off
every means of escape by fastening win
dows and doors, crushed In the heads of
her four children to-day. threw their bod
and herself and then. after setting all on
fire, ended her own life by cutting her
throat. The children were Lila, six years.
old; William. five years old; Louise one
and one-half years old, and May Rose five
months old. The woman had previously
showed signs of insanity. Burke is a
machinist. He had not suspected his wife
Of becoming violent.
Two boys, while passing the Burke
house, saw smoke coming from a window.
They burst In the doors and, thinking that
no one was in the house, tried first to put
out the fire with buckets of water. The
flame gained on them and they were
obliged to run for help. The neighbors
prevented the flames from reaching above
the first floor. When the fire had been ex-
tinguished some one noticed that closet
door, which was more charred than the
rest of the woodwork was open. "A black
ened mass was seen in the closet. The
charred mass was the bodies of Mrs. Burke
and her children AS the bodies were taken
out II was seen that every one of the chill
dren's heads were split open, while the
mothers throat was cut.
The weapon with which Mrs. Burke
crushed out the lives of her offsprings was
a large axe. The order of the bodies
showed that the children were Drained in
the order of their age, beginning with Lila,
the eldest. The fire had so completely
charred the woodwork and the flooring that
no blood spots could be found. The bodies
of three of the children were burned all
most beyond recognition. but that of Louise
was only scorched. The body of Mrs.
Burke was also charred. AS soon as the
fire was discovered, Burke was called and
he arrived just as the bodies were found
He tainted from the shock. ~

DIPLOMATS STORY
MINISTER CROSSLAND's ACCOUNT OF
THE SHOOTING AT MONROvIA.
Return to New York of the United
States Representative to Liberia
Says He Does Not Wish to Resign.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Dr. A. j. Cross
land. United States minister to Liberia. and
G. Washington Ellis. secretary of legation,
were passengers on the. steamer La Cham
pagne, which arrived tonight. Both are
negroes. They came in under assumed
names. Grassland appeared on the passen-
ger list as j. r. Aubrey and Ellis under
the name of G. Washington. They gave as
their reason in not being listed under their
names that they wished to avoid being
asked questions regarding the shooting at
the legation in Monrovia until the minister
had a chance to report to Washington.
According to cables received in this coun-
try Grassland had an alteration at the le-
cation building with Thomas Faulkner on
Oct. 6. Faulkner was shot three times by
Crossfand. but recovered Grassland said
tonight that the shooting was done in self
defense. According to his story he had
trouble with Faulkner over the legation
building. The building, he said, was owned
by Mr.. Hill. Faulkner received permission
from the owner to occupy two rooms in it.
and, representing he was the agent of the
building when the legation moved in, he
collected rent. Grassland boarded with
Faulkner and his wife. After some time
as Mr.. Hill was not receiving his rent he
came to inquire about it. Grassland said
that after hearing the story Hill decided
to lease the building to the United States.
Grassland then ordered Faulkner to move
out. He said that was the cause of the
shooting, and that this was followed by
Faulkner assaulting him with razor. On
Oct 6, the minister said, he was assaulted
by Faulkner without provocation and in
self-defense shot him.
Minister Grassland denied the story that
the trouble with Faulkner was of a do
mestic nature. He said he had not come
to resign, but was simply on a leave Of abb
sence.
Secretary Ellis, who recently was ap-
pointed. says he is going to Washington for
instructions.
