 l agreed that this was an incontro- vertible fact, and again assured my self that the people at the bank were going to be busy; very busy. indeed. Her head WAS filled with continu- ance of the idea. for she said:

Administration.

Saranac Inn, July 25-Covernor
Charles h. Hughes will accept re-
nomination If the Republican party
of this state desires him to again be
its candidate. In statement made
public he says:
Il have received so many inquiries
as to my attitude toward renomi-
nation, that | have decided to make
the following statement:
Some time ago said privately
that | did not desire a denomination
and that felt | could not undertake
to serve a second term. This, how
ever, was for reasons entirely per-
sonal Upon further reflection | am
convinced that | have no right to re-
gard these reasons as controlling,
and that II renominated ought to ac-
cent.
But 1t is my desire that the will of
the party to which belong should be
freely expressed, and that it shall
take such action as shall be most
clearly in accord with public senti-
ment. believe that the people
thoroughly understand the principles
which | have sought to apply in adj
ministration, and If they so desire
shall regard it as privilege and a
duty to continue in Office for another
term"

MURDERED AUNT FOR MONEY
August Eberhsrd Captured Near Pat.
terson, N. j.

New York, July 24.-August Eber.
hard self confessed murderer of his
aunt, Mrs. Ottillie Everhard a Wen
nese widow, whom he lured TO a lone
ly spot in New Jersey few days ago
and shot to death, was captured yes
terday near Paterson, ~ j., and is a
prisoner in the Hackensack Jail. He
says he was drawn back to the scene
Of his crime by a force he could not
resist after having travelled many
hundreds of miles.
Eberhard told the police the he was
in love with q New York girl and that
he needed money to marry her, 50,
knowing that his aunt had $4,000 he
plotted to kill her and steal the mon
ey. Eberhard says he also intended
to kill his pretty cousin, Ottillie Eber-
hard, to whom he was engaged, so
that nothing would stand in the way
of his marriage to the New York girl
The police have the name of the girl
mentioned by Eberhard.
Hollow eyed, cheeks drawn and
with the look of hunted animal on
his face, Eberhard was found lying
on the lawn of a residence just out
side of Paterson. There was a
wound in his right leg which Eber
hard first said had been inflicted by
Italians. who attacked and robbed
him, but which he afterward confess
ed was inflicted by himself so as to
make the police believe he had hecn
wounded on the night his aunt was
killed
Eberhard did not Immediately con
fess 10 the police When he was
placed under arrest he expressed sur
prise that he should be suspected OF
the crime and told an ingenious story
to account for his disappearance after
the shooting of his aunt.
The inquisitors did not believe this
story and they kept Eberhard on the
grill until he weakened and made "a
confession. The murderer seemed 70
feel greatly relieved when he had
finished his remarkable narrative CT
the murder He asked the prosecu-
tor TO whom he had confessed for a
cigar and when it was given to him
he smoked it as though he had no
othcr Gaze In the world.
An important point in the comics
sion was the statement by Eberhard
that he had an acconplice in tho muir
der plot. He said, however, tha- his
accumpiice had no hand in the actua
murder. The police are looking fol
this nan
Eberhard told the police tina, ne
had planned the murder ,wo months
ago. He wrote many letters to hi;
aunt in his efforts to induce her tC
sell her home in Germany and come
to this country to live. He even pro
missed that he would marry her daugh
ter Ottillie and make comfortable
home foT ner here.
