ADMITS DOUBLE MURDER
New Jersey Halfereed confesses to
Shocking Crime

NCW 9EfolJ FNaAN CIV 0N'fN~~~N -
Shocking Crime
Trenton, n. j., Nov 26.-John Sears
the negro Italian haf-breed held for
the murder OF the Rev. AMI L. Arm
strong and his wife, made a complete
confession yesterday. He admitted
that he killed both the minister and |
his wife The county authorities an
nounced that he had given them the
full story of the crime.
Because of the intense feeling
against Sears, and fear of mob VIC
lence, the police are attempting to
calm public opinion. According TO
the report of the confession, Sears
said that he murdered the so year old
minister and his wife in the Presby-
terrain parsonage in Dutch Neck nine
miles east of this city, to rob them
of 81 in money and a gold watch.
At the end of the examination the
accused man who has been in the
Armstrong family since he was two
weeks cd, was carried to his cell from
the room where Prosecutor William
! j. Crossley and the police had ques-
toned him without intermission since
his arrest yesterday The prosecutor
1 himself was worn out by the ordeal
and staggered as he left the jail

about Dutch Neck are aroused almost

Because of the prominence of Rev.
Mr.. Armstrong and his wife, and the
abiding affection in which the domi-
ME- as he was known for twenty
miles around. was held. hundreds of
people visited the scene of the crime
yesterday and the authorities had a
hard time to prevent some of them
from displaying their excited anger
against Sears.
During the forty-four years that Mr..
Armstrong had been pastor at Dutch
Neck he had seen generations grow
up and many Of the midde-aged peo-
pie about the country were chrsten-
ed and married by him.
In his detailed confession Sears
declared that he killed the minister
as the result of a quarrel.
HE hit me with a cane Wednesday

CHAMP CLARK
 TO BE SPEAKER Congressman Robinson, m Interview Says Cannon
 Will Be Succeeded.  SAVES HUMILIATION Woodrow Wilson Presidential Tim Der Tariff Bill Brought Re-
 publican Defeat.

Hon. Joe T. Robinson, of Lonoke'
 Ark. who was on Tuesday reelected fo Congress from this, the Sixth N1ongressional District, by an over .helming majority over his Republi- In opponent, Dr. R. c. Thompson, of , this city, gave out an interesting in < 4erview yesterday while in this city Regarding the bright outlook for the $ ssuccess of Democracy as a result Of fsthe sweeping Democratic victories over thu country in Tuesdays cleo tons.
 Appearances now indicate that the Democrats will control the next Con- gress," said MT. Robinson. Tn that event Champ Clark, of Missouri, will unauestionably be elected speaker. The only consolation the Republicans can have is that the loss of control in congress will save them the hum- iliation of defeating MT. Cannon for reelection as speaker. The over- mhelming election of Mir. Dix is a severe blow to Colonel Roosevelt, as we'll as the election of MT. Harmon.
 Woodrow Wilson's election to the goyernorship of New Jersey brings prominently forward new star in the political Heavens and makes pos sibly his nomination for the Presi- dency. The defeat of the Republican party in Massachusetts, New York and elsewhere yesterday is conclusive evidence of the public disapproyal of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
 'The loss of Tennessee is regret ted. Senator Taylor made a bril- liant and daring fight and deserved victory. But the odds against which he fought were overwhelming.
 "The Democratic party cannot en- force Democratic policies because Of the fact that the Senate and Chief Executive are Republicans. It can, however, indicate a policy to be pur- sued in the event of Democratic suc- cess in 1912 and protect the public against threatened abuses by the Re- publican party

PRISONER TRIES TO PROVE
DRUNK AT TINE OF CRIME
John Mccarthy Can't Be Held For
Burglary Unless He Was sober.
Court Rules.

The police are finding 1t Is a much
more diiticult job to prove man
sober than drunk. They tackled the
proposition In Justice Jeffries' court,
Friday morning, when the case OF
John Mccarthy. charged with burglar
izing the grocery store Of II. Downey
e Son, No. 367 Woodward-ave. in the
night time, was called. Justice JEFF
ries insisted, when the matter came
before him for the first time last
week. that the police show Mccarthy
was sober at the time he was
arrested, explaining that X the prls-
oner were drunk, he could not have
been In the proper frame OF mind to
form an intent TO commit burglary.
The question as to McCarthy's con
dition at the time Of his arrest was
brought up by the Rev. w. A. Atkin-
| son, No. So Missouriave., who was In
cour. In behalf OF the accused man.
He declared that Mccarthy was drunk
when found by the police In Downey's
store, and that he was still under the
influence Of liquor when brought into
court the following day. The police,
on the other hand, set forth that Nc
Carthy was sober. Justice Jeffries ad-
journed the case until Friday.
In the hope Of satisfying the court
that Mccarthy was sober, the police
put several officers on the stand. Pa
trolman John Briskie. member of the
flying squadron, which swooped down
on Mccarthy while he was In the groc-
cry, testified that the man walked
out OF the store, apparently sober.
h.., rre.ll a
no liquor on Mccarthy when he
locked him up, and that the prisoner
asked for drink Of water without
showing any signs of being under the
influence Of liquor.
For the purpose Of showing that
Mccarthy was drunk, the defense pro-
duced number OF witnesses. Charles
Ramshaw, No. AZ Columbia-st. west,
said he had seen Mccarthy drinking
the night he was found in the groc-
cry. John NJ. Libby, No. 26 Elizabeth
st. east, testified that he had been
dSinking with Mccarthy the same
night, while Ed. CHM, bartender In
the saloon at Woodward-ave. and Co
lumbia-st., said Mccarthy had been In
his place, drinking.
After summing up the testimony
the court decided to take an adjourn
ment until Jan. g.
A number of women interested In
Mccarthy, whom the Rev. Mr.. Atkin-
son is trying to reform. and his wife,
Grace Price Marshall-McCar,hy, whom
Mr.. Atkinson also took into his home
after getting her free on court
charge, attended the session. Among
them were Mr.. Atkinson's wife and
the wife of Justice Jeffries. McCar-

also present
