PIANIST FORCES
CONFESSION Of
CHILD SLAYER
Causes Frank H%eidemann, Of
Asbury Park, to Break
Down.

ASBURY PARK, March 17.-One Of
the most remarkable stories of detec-
tive work in either fiction or life is that
which, was revealed when the method
became known by which the confess
sion of Frank E. Heidemann, that he
murdered little Marie Smith last No
vember near Asbury Park, was OBJ
tanned by a detective, a pretended fugi-
tive. who had been living with the
slayer for months.
1t was through q weird play Upon
Heidemann's imagination and con-
science that was broken down to the
point where he was willing to unbur-
den himself of his guilty secret. A
woman f~ortune-teller was the instru-
ment of the detectives last play to get
his man.
Last Tuesday night, in Atlantic City,
h detective suggested that, having
nothing to do, he and Heidemann visit
a fortune-teller The woman had been
previously coached by the detective,
unknown to Heidemann. The suspected
man went into her room, a dark place,
with mysterious drapings, and gave
her his palm to read.
After narrating a few true details
of his life Furnished by the detective),
the woman started as though alarmed.
II see strange things she said In a
hollow tone. There are woods-with
b sea far off. There Is a path-here
1t runs land she raced a course over
Heidemann's palm with her fingers).
And yer this path / see coming a
figure. 1t is the figure of a girl. A
little girl. She is smiling and unafraid.
But in the woods a man is lurking.
Little girl-beware!"
Heidemann was trembling violently
and the fortune-teller could scarcely
hold his hand.
She approaches. The man hides be-
him a tree. She draws nearer. Then
oh, 1t is terriblei-he steps out with
a stone In his hand and strikes her
upon the head. There is blood! She
dies. YOU ARE THE MANI
