Youthful Bank Clerk Says that
Gamblers Influenced Him
to go Wrong"
WILL CALL GRAND JURY
{American News Service)

Boston, March 26.-In confession
today, George w. Coleman, the young
fifteen dollar a week bank employe
who stole more than two hundred
thousand dollars in two years from
the Cambridge National City bank,
places the blame on big Bill" Keli-
her and fake faro bank gang. Cole
man declares Keliher and his gang re
ceived the bulk Of the stolen funds
and claims that Keliher furnished the
money for the employment of counsel
after the shortage had been discover
ed. The grand jury will investigate
the fake faro bank allegations. Cole
man will plead guilty and his only
regret now is that no cigarette smok-
ing is allowed in the federal peniten-
tiary. Coleman ordinarily smokes
four or five boxes of coffin nails
daily.

cited to the following compilation
from the columns of an exchange.
"The game was called with Molass-
es at the tsick. Smallpox was catch
ing. Coal was in the box and had
lots Of steam. Horn was playing first
base and Fiddle second base. Corn
was in the field and Apple was the
umpire. When Axe came to bat he
chopped and Coal let Brick walk and
Sawdust fill the bases. Song made a
hit and Twenty made a score. Every
Foot OF ground kicked and said Apple
was rotten. Balloon started to pitch,
but went up in the air.

crowd cheered. Old Ice kept cooling
the game until Coal burned him with

DEATH OF CONVICT
RECALLS BUTCHERY

Paris-The announcement of the
death at the French penal settlement
in Guiana of the convict Brierre re-
calls one of the most terrible butcher
les in criminal history and also what
in the opinion of many people was a
grave judicial error. Brierre had
been in Guiana 10 years and it was
announced only few weeks ago that
he was to be pardoned. The crime
for which he was sentenced to death
the sentence was afterward COM
muted-was that of numbering his
five children, the eldest of whom was
1s.
The tragedy occurred in April
1901, at Corancez. village near
Chartres. Bierre spent the evening
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-06-14

at the cafe, leaving his 16-year-old
daughter, Clara, in charge OF her
brother and three sisters. In the early
morning Brierre was found outside
his house groaning and complaining
of injuries which he said had been
inflicted on him by two individuals
who attacked him as he was about to
enter the house.
Inside the house the five children
were found dead, horribly murdered
by means of knife and a plough
share.
Brierre's version was not believed
and he was arrested on the charge OF
numbering the children, the alleged
motive being that he wanted to rid
himself of them in order to marry
again, There was q sixth child. Ger
