Of STRANGER, AS
CHARGED BY GIRL
Harry Keener, Accused in Sen
sational Crime at York,
Pa, Finally ConfesseS.

YORK, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE old axiom
hat murder will OUT was again proved
here to-day when Harry Keener, York
'ounty farmer, confessed that the story
told by a girl of this city that he had
killed man on his farm last July is
true. The identity Of the victim Is still
wrapped in mystery, but the police hope
to clear up missing points during the
day
Tho girl accused keener while she
was lying on what was believed to be
her deathbed. but the young farmer
steadfastly maintained his innocence
until this morning, when, mentally tor
tured by the sweating process he was
put through by the police and the har.
rowing experience Of the last few days,
he broke down and told the police that
ne had Killed man and described what
he had done with the body.
The girl in the case is Miss Lorenya
Tawser. aged eighteen years. Last
summer she was employed on Keener's
farm near Seven Valleys, short dis
tance from til city. How she left his
place is at present not definitely known.
Last week she attehded the murder
trial in this city OF one-armed negro.
at which she was taken sick while
listening to the testimony.
After being taken home she was
seized with spasms and, fearing she
would die, the girl gave a detailed ac-
count OF the supposed or me to her
mother. Her reason for not telling OF
the killing sooner. she said, was that
she had been sworn to secrecy by
Keener, and was afraid to dIvulge it..
Tho local authorities were Immediately
notified, ard as result, Keener was
taken into custody last Sunday.
The girl said that after keener had
killed the man lie buried the body IN
the orchard OF the farm, and that he
had painted the places where blood had
spilled. An immediate investigation was
started, and tOr three days twenty-five
men under the direction Of the District.

separated from the trunk and were
buried at different points.
A portion of the body was buried IN
the cellar OF tho home. other parts

still other parts were buried on the
farm OF his father, some miles away.
keener and the girl were taken to
the scene of the crime to-day and an
effort will be made to unearth the re-
mains Of the murdered man under
their direction.
Girls story TO Police.

police said the shooting occurred on

I heard a knock on the door down

II ran down and the door was open
and keener was standing there with
his revolver, a man was lying on the
grass between the porch and the eel ar
door. He said My God, my God twice
and opened Ms eyes as | looked. I'll
finish him. said Keener, and fired three
times more. think four shots hit him
In the head and one near the heart.
Then Keener got the little wagon
and loaded the body on 1t. AS he was
going out the garden gate to turn into
the orchard It rolled Off. but Keener
loaded 1t on again.
She then told how he was going to
