sistant Secretary Barnes that her hus-
band had been dismissed from the gov
eminent service, and she wanted to de-
mand from the president his reinstate-

with him.
Mr. Barnes explained to her that
the president had nothing to do with

the department from which her hus-
band had been discharged. Mrs Nor
ris was not to be put off in that way.
She declared in loud tone that she

BOY CONFESSES
AWFUL CRIME
W. ]. Moran Admits That He Slew
Robert Collier.
KILLED IN QUARREL
Says He Took Corpse to the Nickel
Plate Track and Laid Head on
Rail to Make 1t Appear
Train Fatality.

Chicago Jan. 6.-W. ]. Moran, aged
nineteen years. confessed to killing
Thursday night Robert Collier, aged
reventeen years, during quarrel, after
which. Moran says. he placed Golfers
body on a railroad track in the hope
that q passing train would hide the
evidence Of his crime. The accidental
discovery OF the body before the train
passed disclosed the fact that Collier
had been killed by pistol bullet Fiji
teen companions of Collier were round
ed up by the police. Among them were
Moran, whose clothing was blood-stain-
ed.
The body was found on the Nickel
Plate railroad with the head lying
across a rail. No trains had passed
over the body before il was found.
1t was the belief of the police that
Collier had been murdered while in the
rear of barn belonging to John Swag-
CERT, a neighbor, and that the body
had been carried to the tracks, the
murderer or murderers expecting
train would pass over it and destroy all
clews to the real manner of death. The
Collier boy lived with his parents and
was employed in the Pullman car shops
The theory of the police that murder
had been committed was further
strengthened by signs of a struggle at
the rear of Swaggerts barn.
Heel marks were plainly visible in
the soft earth for several feet. showing
that the murderer had at first attempt
ed to drag the body and then appar-
emily had carried it to the tracks.
