Man AHeging Self Guilty Suddenly
appears in Court LUith Confession
-.u,onaan is Making Great Fight

PARIS, Nov. 4.-Displaying even
as much skill in confounding the
Judge as she had in battling the po-
lice, Madame Marguerite Steinheil,
whose examination on the charge OF
numbering her husband and step
mother, Nine. Jepy, continued in the
Assize court today to make Won
.derful single handed fight for her
life.
While in the dock she presented
dramatic figure, her black mourning
gown accentuating the pallor of her
face. When caught in mesh work
of conflicting stories, she had re-
course to tears, or with uplifted eyes
and arms extended made fervenr
pleas to the jury.
A new sensation was added to the
trial late this afternoon, when M.
Aubin, the prisoners attorney, sud
denly interrupted the proceedings to
present letter just received by him
and signed "Jeane Lefevre," in which
the writer stated that he wished to
confess to participation in the MUIR
ders of which Nine. Steinheil is ac-
cused.
Immediately after reading the let
ter the attorney suddenly and dra-
matically introduced the writer, a
man about twenty-one years of age,
who meanwhile had succeeded in
making his way through the crowd in
the court room to place beside M.
Aubin.
Amid the greatest excitement,
Jean Lefevere announced he had
been an accomplice in the assassina-
tion of Adolphe Steinheil and Nine.
Jepy. AS the audience hushed into
silence, Lefevre continued:
''Filled with remorse, wish now
to confess my part in the crimes. |

a wig of red hair. My accomplices

murders and then escaped to the for
est at Mount Morency. where we

The man said that after destroying
all evidence of their crimes, he and
his companions escaped from the
country, going abroad. One of his
friends had since died, he said.
Madame Steinheil confronted Le-
fevere, but said she was unable to
recognize him as one of the murder
ers whom she had described. Judge
DeValles ordered that Lefevere be
placed under arrest. At the same
time the court warned the jury that
this dramatic episode might prove

Thought to Be Same Men Who Held
Up Canadian Pacific Last Spring.

VANCOUVER, Nov. 4.-Register-
ed mail sacks. torn open, and scat
tered letters, found yesterday on the
Cariboo Road near the scene of the
express and mail stage hold-up Mon
day, show that the robbers contented
themselves with taking the cash,
which at conservative estimate was
$4,000.
The robbers are now believed to
be hiding in the cattle range country.
The theory is growing that they are
the same men who planned the hold

SEATTLE Nov. AFTER IL
years work in Alaska, Professor c..
c. Georgeson, special agent of the

some day become the home of pros

Public belief is strong that Nine.

by the fact that the newspapers print

grew out of the death at the pris-

Look back into our history. Politics
and statecraft produced the greatest

came pioneering and planting, followed
by the period when the best oppor-
tunity in the south was asri-
culture with slave labor. and the
best opportunity in the north ship-build-
ing. ship-owning, whaling and foreign
trade. This lasted as long MS ship.

Fifty years ago n young mans best
chance was railroading, and it is still q
very good one. Then manufacturing
and mining came to the front, ship.

declined, the latter forever in the de-
scendant. Steel-making was for fifteen
years an open game, and was the young
mans best chance. Some five hundred
took it up-the greatest of these was

''It was deserved, too, for Joe certainly
