CONVICTION FOLLOWS
FAKE CONFESSION

journal 6pooial Service. ----- -'~~~ ~"".' --~
Philadelphia, May 2s.-To the amaze
ment Of everybody, including the pros
ecutor himself, the jury in the court of
error and terminer Saturday found Har-
ry Norris guilty Of murder in the Sec
ond degree. .
This cratic and perhaps weak mind
ed youth had made an astonishing
confession to the effect that he and
a companion, Neil or Hafley,. had killed
Clara Mcdonnell, a young milliner, last
February. Norris was at the time in
the county prison charged with larceny.
He said that he and Haffley had met
the girl at Sixteenth street and Ridge
avenue, had inveigled her up an alley
and had stolen bag she carried which
contained $50. She was about to
scream, and Haffley, Norris said, picked
up an iron bolt and killed her. Then
they threw her body into pit. The pc
lice could find nothing to connect either
Norris or Haffley with the murder, if,
indeed it was a murder at all. But
Norris was tried and now has been con-
! victed.
His lawyers have made the usual mo-
tion for four days in which to file rea-
sons for a new trial. His Mother is heart
broken and says the lad is weak minded
and that they had contemplated having
him confined for years, but put it OFF
| from time to time.

the wealthiest men of Charlton, a suburb

morning by his son-in-law, A. M. Burd
AS the coroner's jury exonerated Duff
for the crime he had committed, so he,
with his last breath summoned a JUS

generating his son-in-law from all
blame for his death. L.
On Saturday morning Duff arose
about l o'clock, intending to take a
walk. Recently there have been burgla-

alert. When Mr.. Burd heard some one
moving in the house imagined that rob-
bers were about and securing his revolv-

Winfield, March 24.=Elisha Harmed.
one of the prominent farmers of
Omnia township, is building on his
place two miles south of Atlanta, a
new barn. all the framing material Of
which is oak.
The trees. burr oak, grew on his
farm and were sawed into lumber
there, this work being done by Sol
Hofflne with his portable mill. Two
OF the logs yielded over nine hundred
feet of lumber. The barn is 40x50
feet in dimension, all oak but the
shingles and outside boards. The lat
ter are hard pine.
As far as the durability of the oak,
Mr.. Harmed has an example in the
first house built on the farm. All the
frame Of it was native burr oak. Not
long ago he had 1t repaired, and when
the siding was removed, found the
frame, even that next to the ground, as
sound and good as it was when it was
first put in over. thirty years ago.

the Philadelphia Barge club crew this
year. He arrived at this decision to-
day and will 90 to Philadelphia to be-
gin work next week. Ten Eyck, to
meet the demands of the new style
of racing, has just now completed for
the use of his club a four cared scuI-
ing she'll called a ftcenupede" in row
ing circles.
In discussing the innovation, Ten
Eyck says.
"A four or eight-oared she'll does not
make the right kind Of a boat for scull-
ing. The four-Oared shell IS 10 inches
abeam. With four-sculling crew a
boat of II inches beam can be used,
which is, of course. faster than the g
inch boat. The new style Of racing is
likely to supplant four and eight-oared
rowing
There was race at the national re-
gatta in Baltimore last year in which
each crew was made up Of eight scull-
ers- The spectators enjoyed the race
more than an eight-Oared race. For
one thing, it is a faster race. A good
single sculler can make about the
same time as q four oared crew. A
double scull s1-elI crew can beat a four
cared crew for mile and a half. If the
distance were farther I think maybe
the four could win. A quadruple
souls shell crew, or a cendpede, as
they are called, can beat an eight
cared crew. The rowing is much clean
er and heater, making a better race to
watch"
