MOTHER OF CHILD
SLAIN BY FANATIC
SUFFERS COLLAPSE
with Aiding in the
Brutal Killing of Her Lit
tie Daughter.
UNDER ZEALOT'S
"SPELL" SEVERAL DAYS
Origin of the "Devil Chasers'
Revealed by the Head of
the Society.
Especial to the Evening star.l

EASTON, Pa, May 1.-Mrs. Henry
Smith. mother of little Irene May
Smith, brutally slain as a sacrificed Of
fering by Robert Bachman, leader OF
the crazed Devil Chasers' cult, VINO
is charged with aiding and abetting In
the murder, suffered a ervou collapse
in her cell today.
Henry Smith, the crazed father of the
slain child, and Mrs. Robert Bachman,
wife of the murderer, imprisoned on
similar charges, are such physical and
nervous wrecks that doctors attend
them.
Bachman now has a charge of muir
der in the first degree against him
The foul warrants were sworn out by
County Detective JACOB Johnson, fol-
lowing the findings of the coroners
jury.
Smith says he was under tho in
1uence of Bachman from Wednesday
until last night. He has no more falth
in Bachman's doctrine, and expects to
be liberated in a day or so. He thought
h., might get out today to attend the
funeral of his daughter.
He says now that lie believes that
Bachman intended to kill his daughter,
but he can give no eason for that opin-
ion. merely that he suspects it. When
he heard the carpet looms working in
the prison he called attention to the
humping sound, and said it vas Bach
ma knocking the devil out of things.
When Warden Collins's children were
heard laughing lea the entrance to the
lail Smith exclaimed: There's my
little girl" He was told his error. He
now insists that he is nearly well.
Smith said he believed it was un-
lucky to be a councilman from the First
Ward of Alliance. the position he is
holding in the borough government.
Rachman rested we'll last night. To-
day he said his mind is perfectly clear,
that it was clear Monday night; that
ho remembers very well all that was
said and done Monday night at his
home.
What was your idea of killing the
little girl?" he was asked.
THAT was not my idea; that was
Gods idea," he declared. A little later
he said: I'm in no trouble. I'm re-
joicing because I did Gods will in kill
ing that child"
Bachman spends the greater part of
his time lying on his bed.

Mrs. Mary Scaramonti, a pretty slip
of a girl, only IA years old, appeared in
the Third Precinct Police Court today
to make. a complaint against her step
father, but when Assistant Clerk Wal
ter Shunt asked her her name all h
knew was MARY" She was asked if
she were married, and replied in the
affirmative, but said she did not know
what the name of husband was. She
said that her ~stepfather, Curacao Cog
liano. of 43 Monroe street, was keeping
from her some of her clothing.
An investigation of the facts leading
up to the child's marriage disclosed
hat the girl had fallen in low with
a man named Gerardo Sacrament. %
years old, and the couple had tried to
be married at the office of Michael Mu-
rano, justice of the peace, in Market
street, but at the request of the child's
stepfather and in view of her age, he
had refused to unite them. Their next
attempt was at the office of h Mayor.
who likewise turned them away. Finally
hey were married at the rectory of
the Madonna de Carmine Church. at
McWhorter and Ferry streets, by the
Rev. E. Bassile, March 81.
The couple are now living together. 1t
is said, at is Madison street. The
mother and atepfather of the girl, when
seen today, were both emphatic in voic-
ing their grief at the girls act. and said
that it was done against their will.

WITH BOSSES TO
PREVENT STRIKE
Long and Heated Conference
Over Agreement Drawn
Up Year Ago.
BUSINESS AGENT SEES
MOTIVE OF REVENGE
Rather Declares Employers
Want to Get Back for Civ
ing Bread to Needy.

Strenuous efforts are being made to
prevent a strike today of the bakers Of
Local No. 1877. but the indications are
that the attempt will not meet with
success.
The union and the boss bakers, who
have separate associations, are in ses-
sion at Columbia Hall, Court and
Prince streets.
From the time the session opened at
noon there continued a warm de-
bate with Jacob Rather, business
agent of the union, and Benjamin
Kampf.
If a strike is declared a dozen bakeries
will be affected and seventy-three
bakers will be out of employment.
The agreement to which the bosses
refuse to affix their signature is the
same presented to both sides a year ago
by the arbitration committee during
the strike at that time. 1t was for
warded to the bosses two weeks 6 by
Mr.. Rather who enclosed a request
that the agreement be signed and for
warded to the committee.
Samuel P%reisner. of 125 Prince street.
who signed the agreement several days
ago., has since declared that he would
not agree to the proposition.

CALLS BACHMAN TRAITOR;
SECT WANTED SECRECY.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-Declaring
that the sect of Devil. Chasers'' of
Nazareth was formed as the result of a
direct revelation from God to his broth
err and to another man who is now
dead, Martin I. Mengel, leader of the
sect in this city, said today hat Robert
Bachman Is a traitor to the society of
which he was a member and he has
been attempting to bring about a
schisn among the Children of God"
I'VE have always kept our affairs
private from the people of the world"
he said. "The society was formed many
years g as a result of a revelation
from heaven. part of which was re-
ceived by my brother, Joseph Mengel,
while he was living in Patamy, N. Y,
a little town near the Canadian border.
God told my brother that a society
should be formed of people to serve him
who SHOULD live apart from the world
and who should meet and combat he
devil and pray together for the sins of
the world
Mengel then said that several of
those to whom divine revelations had
beer made met together and formed the
society which. he said, has a name
which is known only to God"

TODAYS GAME
IS POSTPONED
UNTIL TUESDAY
Managers Decide Not to Take
Any Chances in Cold
Weather.
BY TOM DUGAN.

Manager Stallings. of the Tigers, ar
rived home this morning from his scout
ing trip, and while he was unacom-
panied by any major league players his
face was wreathed In smiles when in
reply to a question whether he had dug
players he answered. "If you just
wait for a day or two l will answer that
question in a practical way. l cannot
afford to disclose my hand at this mo-
ment for other clubs ore trying to get
new material as we'll as l am, and if
they find out what l am after it will
lessen my chances to get the men |
started out to get"
Stallings appeared to be greatly
elated over something and his manner
indicated that he is pretty well salts
fed of having a strong team here be-
fore the club leaves on its first trip,
which will be a week from next Sunday.
Early this morning Stallings and
Buckenberger, of the Rochester team,
held a consultation and decided to call
off this afternoons game. These mag
mates agreed that by sending their
players out in such weather as prevail
ed here today would be subJecting their
men to all sorts of dangers.
This is the 81 of the year when
playing arms are in grave danger from
cold winds. and when a team stacks
up against such ailments 1t does more
to hurt the championship chances than
anything else. These matters were
discussed by the today, and
the game was called off.
This first postponed game viii be
played next Tuesday. which Is an open
date for both teams. Manager Stall
ings has decided that, as the lady fans
got no chance to see a game this week
he will open up the park and grand
stand free to them Monday.
The Rochester team is putting up
winning brand of ball, and Stallings
has strong hopes of having his ne"
men here by Sunday. He wants the
majority of this present series.
