KILLED FOR MONEY.
Confession Said to Have Been Obtain
ed in Shepherd Murder.

Mattawan. N. j., May 1S.-Although
the county authorities deny it, there
II good reason to believe that Frank
Zastera, the Polish farmland, has made
q confession that he killed Mr.. and
Mrs. William B. Shepherd and their
servant. Miss Jennie Bendy, who were
found murdered in Mr.. Shepherds
farm house Saturday morning. Zas-
tera's statement is reported to be to
che effect that he killed Mr.. and Mrs.
Shepherd in order to get the money
which he knew Mr.. Shepherd had in his
possession. According to a story that
Zastera Is alleged to have told he wait
cd in the parlor of the house Saturday
morning until Mrs. Shepherd came
down stairs to warm a bottle of milk
for her baby and as she was returning
up stairs with the milk. shot her in the
side and head with her husbands shot
gun.
At the sound of the shot Shepherd
came running down stairs. ZaStera
was standing in the hall with the gun
In his hands and when Shepherd was
half way down fired a charge of shot
into his side. Shepherd dropped on the
stairs and his body fell on that of his
wife. Zastera, according to his report
ed confession, then entered the kitchen
with the gun, meeting Jennie Bendy,
shot her in the breast. All three were
Instantly killed. Zastera then went IN
search of Shepherds money, ransack-
ing the farmers clOInlHS anu lilC
bureau drawers of the house. Zastera
is said to have told the authorities he
hid the money somewhere about the
house and grounds, but up to this
morning they have been unable to con-
firm his story in that respect although
they paid several visits to the Shepherd
farm yesterday and searched both the
house and grounds to find the hiding
place.
Relatives of Jennie Bendy have told
the authorities that Miss Bendy was
afraid of Zastera and told them that
he had attempted to enter her room not
long ago. Miss Bendys sister said that
Jennie had asked to stay with her
nights in order to keep Zastera from
repeating his attack.
The reticence Of the officers in re-
gard to Zastera's confession is unex-
planned. but it is surmiSed among the
people Of the village that they desire to
have plenty of opportunity to confirm
it, especially as it is conflicting in many
details. 1t is suspected also that the
authorities fear that If the story be-
comes public an attmept will be MADE
to inflict punishment upon the farm
hand, in which event their task Oh
establishing the facts of the murder
would become a great deal more diff
cult as it would necessitate Zastera's
removal to the Jail at Freehold.
Further efforts were made TO-DAY TO
locate the money taken from the Shep-
herd home.

II we could only realize
Our loved ones went away
To wear the robe Of spotless white,
And dwell in endless day
They walk beside lifes river fair,
Close TO the rivers side
OF Him who died that they might live
Not changed-but glorlhed.
We would not call them back again
Because their crown is won,
And they have knelt at Jesus feet,
And heard the glad well done.
And while eternal ages roll
Close to the crucifed.
They'll live forever with the blest,
Not changed-but glorified.
Some day Wen meet beyond the stars
In the mans ~.--s Of the blest,
Where wen never have to say good bye
In that land Of perfect rest.
With the fairest OF ten thousand,
There ever to abide
Wen meet the ones we loved so well
Not changed-but glorified.
When once we reach that happy land
Wen make our harps resound
With heavens music loud and sweet
Because a Christ we've found.
Wei find our loved ones near the
