AWFUL STORY OF
DOUBLE MURDER
BigIer Johnson Tells How His Wife
and Niece Were Killed.
ALL TO ESCAPE So ALIMONY

Towanda, Pa, Oct 3.-County De-
tective Guy C. Hallon authorized the
publication of an awful confession of
arson and murder made here in jail
several days ago by Bigler Johnson.
It was made in the presence Of Mr..
Hallon. Sheriff Robinson, Attorney
Smith and Stenographer Held, the lat
ter at the direction of the officials MAX
ing stenographic report of the con-
versation. Johnson says the parties
he names murdered Mag" Johnson,
his wife, and her niece Annie Benja-
min. and burned their bodies in their
home. The motive of the crime was
to save Bigler Johnson from paying
his wife S6 a month alimony. Mag"
had had her husband arrested for non
support, and he was compelled by the
court to pay her Sc month.
In his confession Johnson duplicates
his brother Charles, but the latter when
confronted by Bigler's statement de-
clared that it was the other brother,
Alanson, and not himself, that took
part in the plot ascribed to him by
Bigler.
The confession is not an unbroken
recital, but was obtained piecemeal by
questioning, and is authorized by Mr..
Hallon, as follows:
That his mother (Johnson's), Mrs.
Sophia Merritt, and his brother, Charles
johnson, had planned to get Mag,
his wife, out of the way so that ne
would not have to pay her Sc month
alimony any more; that his mother did
not want him to leave the state to get
rid of his wife. and that they would
put her out of tie way.
He stated that he went to his moth
er's home and met his brother Charles,
his mother and twin brother Alanson
and his sister Nancy. After talking
the matter over it was agreed that he
should go to TOwanda and they would /
'do the job" giving him an hour to !
start, so that he would be in Towanda
when the killing and burning took
place.
He stated that they were to save the
little girl by carrying her out Of the
house. if she was asleep; that he was
to give his mother and his brother
Charley So apiece for doing the job as

They go further than this. Those same

to give reception to your friends, do
not give it in your home. 1t is too
small. Hire a big hall in the center of
the town, where you can receive in bet

caterer furnish an elaborate supper; in

SOCIETY WORRIED ABOUT THE SUMMER ER Smart Folk Are Choosing Re-
 sorts for the Season ARRIVALS AT NEWPORT Roberts Almost Forgotten In the so- clal WhIrI-Mrs. Augustus cleve-
 land Tyler Writes Libretto.
 Goulds Going Abroad.
AT NEWPORT
BY pIEpRIcH kNIckgRRockER.

New York May 2S.-The one absorbing question of the day is the well-worn but always popular query: Where are you going to spend the summer" The most restless matron imaginable is the unfor- tunate creature who has not yet taken a cottage at some raekety place known by courtesy as a summer resort. It seems a waste of breath to discuss sum mer plans when one can talk of bridge, racing. coaching, weddings and divorces, but 1t has to be done. This is the season of exultation for the robber who owns Shanty- by-the-Sea and the farmer who has a hut festooned with morning glo- ries built against the side of some bleak mountain. Excluding the modern Croe- sus, who goes to Newport, Bar Harbor, Morristown, Lenox or Tuxedo, pity the millionaire and more pity to him who can not sign a check in seven figures. From Winter Harbor to Cape May the bands will soon be playing soft, throbning walt ses; every mixer of drinks will revTve some ancient beverage and christen 1t anew, and the moon that is always bath ing graceful shoulders in pear1y light will be doing bushes at the same old stand.

The Decadent vanderbiIts.

From Everybody's Magazine for June
 If the formation of permanent aristocracy depended alone on the Van derbilts, the present promise would be shaky. Here is group of the fourth generation, and the only man of un- doubted pitn Is Cornelius, the estranged and disinherited one. If the estate should now disintegrate, there would apparently be nothing left but the memory of great name. Of in ward superiority there seems no mark save in Cornelius, who, so to speak, with six or seven millions, is begin ming at the bottom again. The race current appears very thin now; the only momentum is in the wealth, and if that should by hap be pulyerized under some mighty attack by a new swordsman, the Vanderbilts would scatter off just like any other Ameri- can citizens, and the name, which for twenty-five years has been crowded on public attention as the symbol of American splendor and rank, would become a past glory

Roherts Overlooked.

Charles Lee Robert who filed a peti- ton for divorce at Newport, has been al- most entirely overlooked because of the more important position held in socie- ty held by the former Miss Sybil Sher- man. who entered an action for divorce from her husband, John Ellis Hoffman. Because of the rush of new people the scene Is constantly shifting, but 1t does seem strange that family once so prom inent as the Roberts should be overlooked. Charles Lee Robert was married at Bent ley Manor, near Worcester England, in 1895 to Miss Catherine Cheape an Eng fish beauty and heiress, daughter of Colo mel Cheape of the English army, and de- scended from a very old and honored family One of the Cheapes had married an Arbuthnott, of the arlstocratic Eng fish family, and they were otherwise prominently related MT and Mrs Rob ert visited Newport on their wedding trip and the young wife created a sensation by her beautiful gowns and wonderful London hats. She seldom appeared with out furs, though her visit was in the late summer.
 Mir Robert Is the son of the late Chris topher Rhnelander Robert, the distin- guished founder of Robert college, Con- stantinople. His father once owned ex- tensive Elm court at Newport, now the property of Frank Work and occupied durin the season by the latters daughter Mrs Frances Roche. He also had coun- try place at Oakdale L. l., adjoining the William K Vanderbilt property. Freder- ick> Robert who married Miss Marsena Nelson, and who has a beautiful estate, Fleur Eau, at Palm Beach Is of the same family. Mrs. Christopher Robert left Newport after the season of 1895 and did not return there until a month ago. She makes her home at the Vendome, In Paris. The Roberts owned one of the largest stables in Newport, and though very wealthy never cared to entertain after the prevailing fashion. It was said there dislike of gorgeous entertainments drove them from Newport.

Woman and Her Clothes.
From the Metropolitan Magazine,

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
 Say what you will. to a woman clothes are the background of all her situations, the decorations of her future They are a part of her environment from the earl fest years, and the ancestral female voices ever whisper and sing to her of them. I venture to say Eve found com pensation after being turned out of Eden in altering and re-trlmming her fgIeaf robes. She. who Is sincerely indifferent to her clothes. has missed half the joy of living. No woman ever took naturally to intellectual pursuits any more than to religion; these merely serve as consoia- tions and anodynes.
