New York, July 27.-Drawn back
to the scene Of his crime by a force
ne could not resist, August Eberhard
has confessed the murder of his aunt,
Mrs. Otillie Eberhard, a Viennese
widow, whom he lured to q lonely
spot in New Jersey a few days ago
and shot to death.
Ihe reason Eberhard gave for com
hitting the crime was that hi was in
love with a Hackensack girl and that
ne needed the money to marry her:
Knowing that his aunt had $4,000 he
planned to kill her. He says he also
Intended to kill his pretty cousin, OF
title Eberhard, to whom he was en-
gagged, SO nothing would stand In the
way of his marriage to the other girl.
The police have the name of the
girl mentioned, and she will be brought
here to tell what she knows of the
murder.
There was ar ugly looking wound
In his right leg, which the murderer
first said had been inflicted by Italians
who attacked him, but which he after
wards confessed was inflicted by him
self SO as to make the police believe
he had been wounded on the night his
aunt was killed. Morbid brooding
over his inhurnan crime had apparent
ly unbalanced the mind OF EI5erisa1yi,
but he showed some of his cunning
that he displayed in the murder plot

the murder. Eberhard did not imne-
diately confess to the police.
When he was placed under arrest
he expressed surprise that he should
be suspected of the fou deed, and told
a most ingenious story to account for
his disappearance after the shooting
of his aunt to the effect that on the
night of the murder he had tried to
defend his aunt from an attack of a
party of Italians. He said he made
his cousin run on ahead and Their re-
turned to help his aunt, but the muir
derers o~verpowered him after shooting
him in the leg. Then he lost con-
seriousness and remembered nothing
until he came to his senses in the
Preakness mountains. He gave a
graphic description of his alleged wan
derings through the mountains.
The inquisitors did not believe this
story, and they kept Eberhard on the
grill until he weakened and made a
confession. The murderer seemed to
feel relieved when he completed his
remarkable narrative of the murder.
OF the prosecutor to whom he con-
fessed, he asked for a cigar, and when
given to him he smoked it as though

STARTS NEWPORT ROW

New York July 2S.-A Newport So
cial war is due to the friends of Alfred
Vanderbilt and his former wife, Mrs.
Elsie French Vanderbilt, taking sides
over their divorce. Some take Mrs
Vanderbtlt's side of the case and 9TH
ers lean to Mr.. Vanderbilt. There will
be an interesting rivalry between the
two sets during he summer here and
during the winter in New York.
On the occasion of a charity bazaar
at Mr.. Vanderbtlt's farm at Ports
mouth for ST. Mary's church, a prom
inent. woman in the cottage colony
found his name among those present.
She forthwith sought a reporter who
used her name In connection with the
affair, and gave him to understand she
was not present and did not expect
ever to set her foot on the farm again.
She wished h reporter to be careful
in using her name further in connec-
ton with anything Alfred Vanderbilt
held there or anywhere else.

Then he went in pursuit Of his
cousin and tried to kill her. The poor
girl believed he was trying to protect
her, and even up to yesterday she had
insisted that she did 10 believe her
cousin had murdered her mother. She
accounted for his disappearance by the
theory that he probably was shot by
the murderers.
When Eberhard was found not a
penny was in his pockets. He said he
buried the MONEY he stole from his
aunt. He led the detectives to a tree
near Little Falls, and there dug up
bills and coin to the amount Of $1,000,
