INDIAN NURSE KILLS
THE BABE she LOVED
Admits Awful Crime and Ex-
cuses 1t on Ground of
Great Affection.
WAS ACCUSED OF ARSON
Thought She Would Have Co Die for
1t, and Could Not Bear Sep
~aration from Her In
fant Charge.

New York, Sept. pa strange story
of murder, prompted by affection that
could not bear separation, has been re-
vealed near Brewster, N. Y, through
the confession of Jennie Burch, an In
dian nurse girl, aged IA.
1t appears that a series of incendiary
fires have occurred at Cowles Corners,
twelve miles from Brewster, and sus-
picion fell on the Indian girl. She re-
PEELED the suspicious vigorously. Last
Friday the girls infant charge, Wilbur
Winship, 2B years old, was suddenly
stricken with an illness and soon died.
On investigation it developed that the
child had been given a poisoned peach.
: The nurse girl was suspected.
Admits the Awful Crime.
Just before the child's burial, the girl
was brought into the room where the
body of the little n lay. When she
saw the child she threw herself on the
coffin and cried:
Il killed him. I poisoned him."
Later, when she grew calmer, she adj
mitted, acting under uncomfortable i'm
pulse, that she a caused the incen-
diary fires. She knew she was sus-
pected and, thinking she would nave to
dies for the crirne, she poisoned the lit
tie boy, whom she loved, so that he
might go with her.

Il come from a land of the bloodiest

tell o what we have done since the
declaration of martha. law at Warsaw
in August, 1905. The masses in the
city n country have organized: We
have freedom Of the press, never before
known. 1t was a rare thing before the
declaration of martial law for private
persons to have arms. Today thou
sands are armed. We have purged he
police of their worst elements. We
ave not risen against the autocracy,
but we have laid the foundations for
universal arming Of the people.
We have made a beginning by or
gan1zing the soldiers by whole regi-
ments to stand by our side. They will
not declare mutinies, but they belong
to Is. We do not expect to win over
the whole army Some of the soldiers

expect to shake their morale to such an
extent that they will easily come over"

dina License,

Asheville, N. c., Sept. 26.-When Miss
Emma Dills, II years old, announced
to her father, the register of wills of
Jackson county, that she had become
engaged, her father CURLY informed
her that she was too young to marry.
He refused her a license to be married,
and notified all the registrars Of deeds
In the n~eighboring counties not to issue
such a paper to his daughter.
Recently, it became necessary for Mr..
Dills to leave on a trip, and as was
his custom, he left Miss Emma in
charge of his Office. In case anybody
should apply for a license to marry
during his absence, Mr.. Dills signed
his name to several blank licenses, in
structing the girl to fill them out with
the names of he parties making the
application.
He left and the young woman fol-
lowed his instructions, filling out the
blanks with her own name and that of
her intended. Then they were mar
ried, and the father had to forgive
them,

RIlS SAYS ROOSEVELT
WAS LED INTO TRAP
Friend of President Thinks President
Has Erred in Spelling
Campaicn.

=1H. .E.Eeag HE4lEa
New York, Sept. 26.-In the opinion.
of Jacob A, Riis, who writes, and who
has been called by President Roosevelt
New York's most useful citizen" some
one has caused the president to err
~grievously. Stanch as is the friendship
between the two men Riis cannot recon-
Gle the presidents Endorsement of sim
pliied spelling.
MIR. Riis believes that by soft words
and the arts of speech some one led Mr..
Roosevelt to believe that "~pedagog'' is
better than the old fashioned way of
spelling the word. Mr.. Riis, after scam
ming from top to bottom the 800 varte-
ties provided by the simplified spelling
board, shook his head Sorrowfully. He
was seated in the library of his own
home on Beech street, Richmond Hill.
Il ave every respect for the presi-
dent and pin my faith on his judgment
on all Matters" sal MIR. Riis, "bu I
must draw the line on simplified spell
ing. I have just returned from a long
vacation in Nova Scotia, and nave not
read the newspapers telling about this
matter. Many of the words here on the
list are like old friends. Change them,
and you destroy many beautiful asso-
Cations
Mr.. Riis had spent the day with Pres
ident Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. They
talked upon all matters of personal and
public interest, but the president didn't
bring up the subject Of simplified SPELL
ing. Mr.. Riis said so. 1t was appar-
emily an omission which grieved Mr..
Riis.
He gave the impression that had Mr..
Roosevelt expressed his conviction that
"kisst," "claspt," "clipt' and ''clapt' be
employed to the exclusion of the old
forms, he would have told the president
frankly that someone had handed to
him a lemon.
1T looks as if some Of these peda-
gogues, like Nicholas Murray Butler
and Brand Matthews, had persuaded
President Roosevelt through all the
arts of language to o. X. this word
shearing crusade. They trapped him
into it; that's all there is about it.
But I may be wrong" Mr.. Riis gen
erously added. "a man who is close
to three score is reluctant to accept new
tangled notions. We get conservative
at that g President Roosevelt is
ten years younger than myself. There
fore he has not reached the age Of con-
servatism. These new spelled words
seem to me just monstrous."

New York, Sept. Pa burlap bag
stamped with the name ~. K. Mano,'
a strip of woman's skirt and an oil
cloth table covering bearing a rude
sketch Of the landing of Columbus are
the only immediate clews to the per-
petrator Of a revolving murder com
United early Sunday.
The dismembered body of a man
apparently an Italian, wrapped in the
burlap bag was accidentally found in
a hole twenty-four feet deep forming
a part of an excavation at GOA Yves
Thirty-sixth street, where an addition
TO a brewery is to stand. The discov-
cry was made by the day Waterman,
and later a systematic search by the
police resulted in finding the parts of
the arms and hands. These were
wrapped together in a OF
the date September 10, and bound about
the bundle was the strip of a Woman's
skirt.
Was Deliberately Done.
All was neatly Ind securely tied with
q string, suggesting deliberate prepare
ton. This latter bundle was found I'M
der a covering OF hay in a freight car
at Thirty-sixth street and Eleventh
avenue. The a was unloaded Of a
shipment of horses yesterday. The
head and the thighs are missing. IT
is the theory of the police that the
murder was committed near where the
body was found and that the three
packages of the dismembered parts had
been made with the purpose that they
be disposed OF at some distance from
the crime. The police believe that the
persons carrying the bundles became
alarmed and hurriedly disposed of them
at the nearest convenient hiding place.
They expect to find a third package in
the same vicinity.
Coroner's Physician Weston, Who ex-
amined the body, said that the work of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT had been deliberately
and skillfully done.
DR.. Weston uncovered the BODY
which had been first rappe in a
newspaper, then covered with a table
cloth OF oil cloth.
Killed by Stabbina.
DIR. Weston said from appearance
the remains We're those of an italian or
Syrian, in life about 5 feet s inches
In height, weighing approximately 1870
pounds, and from the appearance of the
hands probably a mechanic.
The body had been washed after
death, which had evidently preceded
the discovery of the murder only a few
hours. The physician said the death
had occurred after Saturday mid
night.
There We're three stab wounds on the
body, one Immediately over the heart
another in the left shoulder and the
third in the right breast.
The burlap bag bore the name of ~.
K. Mano,' and was one of the TYNE
which are in use in the Importation Of
Syrian nuts to this country. In the
directory the name Of q. X. Mano an
pears as a nut importer, CT Washington
street, and inquiries there show that
Mr.. Mano, a Syrian, died six weeks
ago and that about three weeks since
his wife auctioned off the stock in
trade of her late husbands business.
Something like sixty sacks similar to
the n in which the body was found in
We're among the first sold.
OF these. fifteen We're sold to Ra1an
