CONFESSES TWO
MORE MURDERS
Slayer Admits killing Woman
and Toll Gate Keeper.
CLEARS INNOCENT MAN

OHueF ocUteHSe W OCdtUs TVooUSE
Clears Up Two Murder shrouded
Mysteries.
Joseph Christock. the confessed mur.
derer Of Mrs. Mary Richards. at Au-
chey's Station, two weeks ago. who Is
now In the Schuylkil county prison at
Pottsville. Pa. under sentence Of
death. has confessed to two other mur.
ders committed by him.
A formal statement from him to this
effect Will be taken before the week 10
out.
Among the murders to which Chris.
took now confesses Is that of Mrs.
Arthur Morrison, young woman Of
Cumbola. This took place Ave years
ago. Mrs. Morrison was found with a
bullet in her body. dead In bed. BY the
side OF her babe and husband.
l. A. Reed was district attorney at
the time. but could find no trace OF
the murderer Tracks were discovered
in the snow. which were evidently
made by the murderer. but beyond
this no clew was found.
The husband could give no very
clear account of the affair and for a
time was unjustly suspected. The fact
that the couple were on excellent
terms and that the husband had al.
ways treated his wife with the utmost
consideration. refuted the theory that
he had anything to do with the foul
deed.
Christock says that Mrs. Morrison
awoke while he was trying TO rob the
house and he simply shot her dead to
leave no witness behind. christock' s
parents lived at New Philadelphia at
the time of the commission OF the
crime. only short distance away from
the scene OF the murder. He tells the
story OF the deed with all the circum.
stantial details. which fits exactly into
the known facts of the murder. Chris
took was nineteen years old at that
time.
Another murder to which Christock
confesses is that of a tollgate keeper.
and In this. as In the other crime h."
mentions. he gives full details, but the
name Is withheld by the authorities.
On the witness stand In court two
weeks ago Christock gave what he
said was full history of his life. He
confessed to many petty thefts and
robberies. but said nothing of being
engaged in the commission OF other
murders. His whole story led up to
the murder of Mrs. Richards. whom he
shot dead. right through the heart, as
a climax.
Experienced criminal lawyers, who
observed Christock's coolness and
matter-of-fact demeanor on the witness
stand and the deliberatcness with
which he said he killed Mrs. Richards
and beat her daughter into uncon-
sciousness. expressed the opinion at
the time that Christock had been In
more serious affairs than he confessed
10 in court.
Christocks confession to additional
crime will make no difference in his
sentence, nor will II postpone his ex-
ecution. A formal confession will be
obtained from him merely TO clear up
the crimes. which have always been
shrouded in mystery.
1t may be two or three weeks yet
before Governor Stuart sets the date
OF execution and signs the death war
rant. Christock is now losing his nerve
and the authorities predict that he
will have to be carried TO the gallows.
