CONFESSES CRIME
YOUNG RAILROAD CLERK TO FACE
 SERIOUS CHARGE.
John W. BIiIIer's Case Is q Repetition Of The old Adage, %The Way Of The TransgressOr
 Is Hard"

Chicago, Sept. 16.--John W. Miller. a railroad clerk. who was arrested Sat- urday night on the charge of attempt ing to kill and rob Edgar crumb, a diamond broker, confessed the crime to the police yesterday.
 Desperation and bounded by horde of loan sharks, was given by Miller as the reason for the crime, for which he may hang.
 In his written statement >S the man ner in which he lured Crumb in the flat for the deliberate purpose of att tacking and robbing him, Miller. who is thirty-six years old. revealed one of the most shocking plots that the police have dealt with for years. Mill Ter beat the diamond broker over the head not only with a stove packer. which broke in three pieces, by the force of the blows, but with a meat cutter. Crumb Is lying near death at a hospital as a result of the terrible beating he received Miller said that for a year loan sharks had threatened him and swallowed up his salary and cost him one good position.
 Ills wife. he said. was good, saV- ing girl but he drank and gambled and lived far beyond his salary. An original loan of $50 increased to notes of $400, the interest was ten per cent a month and he had to borrow from ono man to pay interest on his first debt to another man. Thus the little cloud grew blacker and blacker until 1t threatened to ruin his whole life and drive him from home.
 With some 1t would have been sui- eide, but Miller began to plot to get money in some easier way than bor- rowing it. Finally he answered an ad- vertisement inserted in newspaper by Crumb, who desire dto dispose of some diamonds. Crumb went to Miller's apartments to sell the gems and the attack followed.

 IS DISTORTED Oil Magnate in Weak
 Condition. so SAYS HIS SON-IN-LAW Judge Hammond Decides to Post
 pone the Case. Mir. Rogers Did Not Apear to Anawer Big Damage Suit Against Him
 Owing to His Serious

Boston, Sept. 16.--Upon the evidence
 of members of the family and the fam~
 fly physician that Henry H. Rogers
 suffered a stroke last July and has
 since been unable to transact business
 Judge Hammond in the Supreme Court
 today announced it was cruel to corn- pei his attendance in court and dis-
 missed a motion to that effect. The condition of Mir. Rogers was disclosed
 in the course of hearing on a motion
 to show that he was incapable of att
 tending the trial of suit against him
 for $50.000.000. brought by c. M Ray-
 mond of SomerviIle, for alleged cons
 version of certain royalties in connec- tion with the production of petroleum. Counsel for MT. Raymond sought to
 show by the testimony of personal and
 business friends of Mir. Rogers in New Bedford and Fair Haven, and also by
 numerous telephone tickets giving a
 record of calls between New York
 and the home of Mir. Rogers in Fair Haven. that the Standard oil anan-
 cfer had been about the streets. had
 participated in certain festivities. had engaged in certain business in New Bedford and had been frequently In communication with his associates In
 New York. Several witnesses admit-
 ted that they had talked with Mir. Rog-
 ers within the past few weeks but all CH3nKGGF In support of the claim that Mir. Ro- gers was too i'll to appear. Urban H Broughton, the son-in law of Mir Rogers said that since July 22 when
 Mir. Rogers was taken i'll in New York. his father-in law had been un<
 able to transact any business and thaa | soon after that date. Mir. Rogers told him that Proughton must pick up all his business and carry on the affairx l to the hest 0f his ability and kunVv% ledge and at he would not hold Mr. l Broughton responsible for any mis- | takes. At this time Mir. Broughton | testified that physicians had refused | to allow Mir. Rogers to see any mem-
 bers of the family not excepting his | wife.
 | He admitted that once in August hia i father-in-law had talked with John p. | Archibald, of the Standard Oil Com- l pany, but 1t was not upon business. | At present he testified that Mfr. Hog- | CTS face is distorted on the right side. | that the left side of his body is out l of its natural position and his speech | Is affected.
 Henry H. Rogers. Jr.. corroborated l his brother-in-law in many respects. | He said that there had been only | slight improvement in his fathers
 condition since July and that the only business he had done was to sign three blank checks and give q power of att | torney to open a safe deposit vault In New York. He refused to discuss anything of importance and ordinary
 matters worried him.
 After hearing this testimony, Judge l Hammond denied the motion to bring H. H. Rogers into court for tho pur- | pose of showing that he was capable of testifying in the suit brought | against him.

WOMAN AND LITTLE CHILD PERISH
 IN FLAMES.
Ii Is Believed That They Were Killed And House Was Burned To
 Hide The Awful Crime.

Columbia. s. C.. Sept 16.--A special to The State from Union, s. C., says: Early yesterday morning between 8 and o'clock. the home of Isabella Glst was completely destroyed by fire and she and her 11-year-old niece were burned to death.
 The house was situated near the cor porate limits on the road to West Springs The fact that the burning was done so quietly and mysteriously as to fall to attract the attentios of any one until the building was ready to fall in, and also because the bones of the woman and girl were found be- meath the bed springs instead of on ton of 1t, has caused considerable talk to the effect that the woman and child may have been killed and the fire fol- lowed to hide the crime.
