CONFESSED TO SHIELD LOVER.
Innocent Woman Said She Committed
Murder in Massachusetts.

Murder in Massachusetts,.
WORCESTER. Mass, July 12.-From a
rather ordinary murder case the shooting
of Charles l.. Burnap at Lake Quinsiga-
mond has developed into both a romance
and mystery. Although Mary Brennan.
a waitress at hotel near the one where
the dead man was staying, confessed to
the police Wednesday that she did the
shooting the story she told I'M
usual that the authorities persisted in their
investigation. and yesterday unearthed ad-
ditional facts which indicate that in spite
of her confession Miss Brennan is not
the real culprlt.
AS soon as Frank Kelly. a Shrewsbury
special policeman. heard of the Brennan
girls confession, he told the police that
her alleged accidental shooting of Bur-
nap He contradicted her story. and de-
clared that she never carried pistol
Confronted with this contradiction Miss
Brennan re:racted her former story, and
declared She had told 1t to shield Kelly
or some one else. who was the dead mans
rival for her favor. Afterward witness
was found who said he heard man s
voice talking to Burnap just before he
heard shots rear where the body was
found.
The question now is Burnap killed
in a quarrel over Miss Brennan. who is
telling contradictory stories to protect his
slayer? Upon this theory the police are
working. 1t is reported that Kelly has
told the police that the shooting was done
in his presence by d man whose name can
not be aScertained.
