FRENCH TRUNK MURDER
FULL CONFESSION FROM THE
ENaLIsHMAN GooLD.

MARSEILI.E, August lf.-Vere ST. Leger
Geold confessed here yesterday that he was
the murderer OF Emma Levin, a wealthy
Swedish woman, whose dismenbered body
was found in the trunk of Mr.. Goold and
his wife upon their arrival here August 6
from Monte Carlo This trunk mystery"
created much excitement. especially as 1t
was soon learned that the Goods, who are
English, were of good family. Their ex-
plana tons of how the corpse came to be in
their baggage were not convincing, and the
confession of yesterday does not come as a
surprise.
Goold made his confession to the exam
lining magistrate. He related coolly all the
details of the horrible crime. He alone had
slain the woman, he said. and it was he
who cut up her body, although his wife had
helped him pack it away in their baggage.
After this had been done they both agreed
to journey to Marseile, where they planned
to cast the body into the sea. Mrs. GoOid.
whose first name is Violet, also confessed
her part in the crime. She said her hus-
band had promised to give Emma Levin the
sum of 500 for certain reason. but she
demanded 500 more which she wanted to
objected. and said he would not pay the
extra hundred. Thereupon Emma Levin
abused him.
Had Been Drinking.
Referring to what happened next, Goold
says in his confession: II had been drink
ing and, becoming angry. seized hunting
knife and buried it in Emmas back. She
fell dead. The next day dismembered the
body with a saw and knife and placed
the torso in a trunk and the head and legs
in a valise. stabbed the woman only once.
The other. wounds on her body must have
been caused by shaking around in the
trunk"
Goold said they carried off Emma Levin's
jewels. not for their value. but in order to
prevent their discovery in his apartment.
Referring to his family. GoOld said his
grandfather was a baronet and his father
an Irish magistrate. He said he had at one
time served secretly on the Irish land COM
mission in Dublin. In 1893 he moved to
Montreal, where he says he made fortune.
He then went to- Holland and later moved
to Monte Carlo. Mrs. Goold cOrroborated
everything her husband said.

ing of Imaginary Officers.

EASTPORT, L. l.. August 1.-THE boys
living in the villages along the road be-
tween this point and Montauk have hit on
an ingenious plan by which to extract many
dollars from unsuspecting Automobiles.
Approaching a promising looking car. they
hail the owner and inform him that there
is constable watching for speeders at the
next turn. The auto owner is naturally
grateful to his informant, and invariably
pays him well for the supposed favor.
In some of the villages the boys are said
to have realized considerable sum from
this deception. The discovery OF the game
however, by one OF the victims and his
communication of the facts, to other auto
mobiiists is likely to bring this source OF
easy profits to an end.

ST LOUIS. Mo. August l4.-St Louis
took yesterday afternoons game from
Washington 6 to 5, owing to poor work in
the field by the Nationals. Powell pitched
for ST. Louis and he was hit freely and
hard, Cantillon's nine collecting eleven hits
of him But nine hits were. on the other
hand, made off Oberlin and none off Smith,
who succeeded the latter in the eighth in
ming.
Washington made but two errors. but
both counted in the run getting. while two
passed balls and some dumb fielding also
counted in the runs scored by the Browns.
With perfect support Oberln would have
won with something to spare. Most of the
interest in the game conferred in the hard
battle put up by the teams and the fact
that the outcome of the contest was in
doubt right up to the final inning.
Washington scored in the fist inning.

on a tumble by Yeager. Ganley hunted
safe. Deehanty sacrificed and o'Brien

alternative methods OF selection of the

would secure the largest assent among the
forty-five powers represented here.
Court to Be Created.
Ultimate unanimity' is known to be i'm
possible. but the great powers are deter
mined. whatever happens. to erect the ma
chinery OF a court I'm the hope that the
future may prove that the supply will
create demand for its services. Some
ddsgruntled delegates are inclined to stand
rather ostentatlously aside the moment
they suspect that their community may not
have judgeship. and for harmony's sake
the first experiment may be to assign a
Judgeship to every country represented, and
from these elect seventeen by a process of
persuasion addressed to the subordinate
natlonalities
Pacific Regulations.
The committee the pacific regulation
Of international conflicts met in the after

clause twenty-seven of the 1899 convention.
which stipulates that any signatory may,
when differences arise between two others
ask the permanent bureau OF The Hague
to draw their attention to the existence and
usefulness of the permanent court The
committee was instructed to redraft the
clause in such sense that The Hague
might automatically offer It's services
without wounding the amour propre of the
parties interested.
The other commission engaged in at
tempting to frame a scheme of obligatory
arbitration made no progress Many OF
the great powers. particularly Germany
and Japan. are entirely opposed The only
topics on which compulsory arbitration was
accepted were such obvious matters as dis
