YOUTHS CONFESS MURDER.
Young Chicago Emuiators of Car Barn
Bandits Cauuht.

Chicago, July 26.-Emulators of the
exploits Of the car barn bandits, four
youths, have confessed killing one man
in a saloon holdup and rubbing a score
of others at different times.
The murder was that of John Lane,
stage carpenter of the Illinois theater
who was shot in an attempt to hold up
Gustav Reigel's saloon on the morning
of July 4. The proprietor also was
shot. The prisoners are Peter Dulfer,
James and William Farmby and David
Kelly. All declare they are less than
20 years of age.
The robbing of freight car of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul at
Fairfield, ILL.,, last week led to the ar
rest of the quartet. Besides the
freight car robbery the young bandits
confessed to many robberies prior to
July 4, most of which were saloons.
The police believe the young men have
not confessed to all their crimes, and
expect at least two other murders will
be admitted by them.
