DELEGATE scith Election Certificate.

Albany, June "A county committee OF a politi-

received a certificate of election from board or

cison handed down to-day, without an opinion py
the Court of Appeals in which ii orders reinstated
eighteen members OF the New York Republican
County Committee who dropped from the
membership roll.
The action was begun by the unseated delegates
headed by John j. Hahn, who secured an ORDER
directing that peremptory writ of mandamus be
issued TO restore them to membership in the COM
mittee. This order was affirmed by the Appellate
Devison, 1st Department. and an appeal taken TO
the Court Of Appeals.

was accompanied by fraud, bribery and intimlda-

In its opinion sustaining the peremptory writ OF

Laporte. Ind, June 2-SheriH Shutter said to-

by Julius G. Truelson, of New York who is now in
Jail in Vernon, Tex, has been made public
THE complete confession said Sheriff Srlutzer
covers nineteen typewritten pages and goes into
the most minute details Of Truelson's career as he
tells It, from 1903 TO the present time. Truelson
told things that could only be told by a person
actually familiar with them. He has defined the
Guinness house in detail, and 1 do not see how he
could have done that unless he had been there
Il don't say that believe the confession for it
is queer composition. but We may bring him to
Laporte TO test him one or two points Including
the location of the two bodies which he said were
buried near the railroad track. No bodies have
been found there. although have dug in several
