SAYS HIS BOMB
BLEW UP The MAINE
Gessler ROsseau Claims Cubans Pick
ed the Wrong Vessel
BUNGLER COMMITTED SUICIDE

New York, March 29.-That the bat
tleship Maine through an error was
destroyed by a bomb of his manu-
facture. was the statement made by
Gessler Rosseau in the Tombs prison.
Rosseau was convicted of having sent
explosives to the Cunard line pier, in
this city, in May. 1903. He made the
following statement:
For several years. while the Cuban
patriots were struggling against Wey-
ler | watched the contest with deep
interest and sympathy. decided to go
! to Jacksonville and do what l could
to assist the revolutionists. I started
from St Louis, where l had been liV-
ing during the early part of 1897.
Before taking a train for the south
I got together the material for the
construction of two exploding ma
chimes of tremendous power. so ar
ranged that they could be wound up
and left in a selected place. with the
certainty that they would go off with
terrible destruction within a few
hours.
"At New Orleans I rented a room
and put the boxes together, after
which l went on to Jacksonville. There /
1 became acquainted with a party of |
Cuban leaders who were planning a |
flibustering expedition. They had en-
gagged the Destroyer, a small vessel, to
take them to Cuba, along with a num-
Der of American and European adVen-
turers who were anxious to strike a
blow for Cuban freedom.
81 suggested to them that they use
my machines to destroy Spanish war
ships in the harbor of Havana and in
other ports on the coast of the island.
They readily seized upon the idea, and
when the Destroyer sailed with the
ilibusters they took my two machines
with them.
1T was planned to have some men,
)eTs of the revolutionary party Join
he Spanish navy so as to get the ma
hines aboard. If that failed 1t was !
lecided to fasten one of the boxes to
he hull of a ship under the water line,
or had constructed my machines so
hat they could be exploded under the
Yater.
THAT was late in the fall of 1897
he next spring the Maine was de-
trOyed.
"Only one of the men in the secret
the machines ever returned to
merica. I saw him some time after
lie war with Spain had begun.
"He told me he had nothing to do
ith the boxes after reaching Cuba, !
ut had been told a mistake had been
ade.
"The man who had been intrusted
ith the task of destroying a Spanish
sssel attempted to fasten a box dur
g the night to one of Alfonso's war
lips and blundered into blowing up
e Maine. ST
81 was told that the man, imme- +
ately after learning of the error he 10
ID made committed suicide" c,

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST
CONVENT BUILDING AT ST. GEN.
EviEvE, QUE, COMPLETELY
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Montreal, April 21.-A disastrous
fire broke out at an early hour and
reduced to ashes the convent in the
little village of st. Genevieve One
nun, nine young ladies ranging In
age from eleven to eighteen years
and four old women lost their lives.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
the villagers FASTENED to the scene.
Bucket brigades were hurriedly
formed and every possible effort was
made to save the building, but the
fire had gained such Roadway that it
was soon apparent that there was no
chance to save II from destruction.
The occupants, aroused by the smoke,
attempted to grope their way out of
the building. Sister Marie Adjuteur, in
heroic efforts to save the lives of the
children in her charge, succumbed TO
the smoke and flames. The pupils
who persisted were in portion of the
building where the fire had obtained
too much Roadway before the alarm
was given to enable those who re-
sponded to effect their rescue.

KOCH TRIAL IN FULL SWING
Taking Of Evidence eegun in Famous
Murder Gaze.

Mankato. Mimi, April 2S--The
Koch trial Is now in full swing. The
taking OF evidence hegan during the
morning, and the state made consid-
cradle progress in developing its case.
Several witnesses. including Doctors
Weiser and Freitsche. were examined,
and the evidence was almost identical
with that of the same witnesses at
the New Ulm trial. In only one par
tioular was there any change of base
on the part of the state noticeable,
and that appeared while Witness
George Schmidt was being examined
The state failed to ask him whether
he saw Koch have any package under
his arm, wrapped in manila paper,
when he saw the dentist on the even
Ing OF the murder. At the New Ulin
trial one OF the points made by the
state was that Koch carried such a
package under his arm, the theory be-
ing that IL was the hammer with
which the murder was committed. 1t
was left for this to be brought ont in

memory had been refreshed by refer

NOTED ACTOR is DEAD
JOSEPH JEFFERSON DIES AT HIS
HOME AT PALM BEACH, FLA,
AFTER LONG ILLNESS.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April a.
Death has ended the career of Joseph
jefferson. The final hours of the
noted actor were spent In unconscious
ness.
The end was not a surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally on
Thursday morning and which was fol
lowed by an apparent improvement
until Friday, the family has been wait
ing for the end.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson which
ended in his death was contracted, it
is believed, while on a visit to his
son, Charles b. jefferson, at Hobe
sound, few miles above Palm Beach,
where he went to meet mis- friend,
former President Cleveland. II is be-
lieved that from slight indiseretion
In his eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion.
Joseph jefferson was born i'm Phila.
delphia Feb. 20, 1929, and was looked
upon as the dean of the dramatic pro.
fession in this country. He first ap-
peared on the stage as a child and
during his career had played In a
number of foreign countries. His
great reputation was made in RIP

most every city in the United States
