 Fiend Talked in His Sleep.
 T said the other day" Mrs Geb- hardt told the police today, that a woman 1 did not know had told me Fred had killed seven other women. That was not true. Fred told me that himself. as warning, when I became curious about his odd behavior.
 One morning I said to him: Fred, what makes you cry out such wild things in your sleep?' Instantly he was like a wild man. He seized me by the throat, threw me against the wall and cried out: What was it I said-tell me quick?' l lied to him, for I was frightened. He said very slowly. I have killed seven women in my time and if you ever speak a word of this I will kill you. too ="

Mass. is said to be refuted by the prison records, which the police are informed show that Gebhardt at that date was safe in Sing Sing prison.
