Woman Whom Truelson Said He Mur-
 dered Found Alive.

Rochester. N. Y.. June 5.--It was es- abolished by police investigation that Mae O'Reilly. whom Julius Truelson of New York confessed" he took to the Guinness farm at Laporte. Ind, where she was murdered. is alive and well at Saratoga, where she is visiting The supposed murder of the woman, who was Truelson's wife. was the most important point in his self in- criminating statement. The police here believe that the rest of his alleg- ed confession that he participated in the Guinness crimes will now fall to pieces and that he will be found to be demented.
 The police took unusual action to get at the facts. John Doe proceedings were brought against the 0'Reilly wo- mans relatives to force them to dis close her whereabouts, which previous ly they had refused to do. Thomas O'Reilly, brother. declared his sister was now Mrs. Daniel Walsh and until a few days ago lived with her husband at 11ls Sixty-ffth street, New York (whether east or west was not stated. but that the hunt for her drove them to Saratoga. where they are staying with walsh's father and mother. Dan- iel Walsh was formerly of this city and met Miss o'Reilly here. She has had nothing to do with Julius Truel- son for nearly three years, according to her brother.

After work ing as a Congregationalist in New York and Boston he joined the Episco- pal church and was ordained. He was stationed for a time in Philadelphia, then in Chicago and recently in New York, where he worked among the people of his former faith.
 The first intimation that Mfr. Freuder had decided to abandon Christianity was made at meeting of the Mes sianic council when he declared 1t was useless for Christians to attempt to convert the Jews.
 Just before his departure for New York Mir Freuder said in an interview: q would prefer to peddle with pushcart than return to the Christian pulpit. I am going back to New York immediately. What I shall do when I get there I don't know. I have been waiting for seventeen long years to say what I said and am glad 1t is out of my system"
