coNFEssOR OF CHILD MURDER SENTENCED TO EXECUTION
 AT 1S-HoUR TRIAL.
TRAPPED BY A DEFECTIVE
Induced to Tell Story After Fake Mur- der by Suppoeed Friend-Cringes at the Quick Verdict of
 the Jury.

Freehold, N. J., April 20.-Jersey justice, famously swift, achieved a new record in a cipital case here when Frank Heidemann, who murdered TO- year-old Marie Smith of Asbury Park early last November, crime for which negro narrowly escaped lynching, was convicted of murder in the first degree.
 In 13 hours and 15 minutes of actual time the nerve. broken, frightened, sob ping creature had been arraigned. his jury chosen, opening speeches made, a flock of witnesses examined, closing addresses delivered, the judges charge given and the jury's verdict returned. Then Heidemann stood clutching his counsel's table for support, his head bowed, uncomfortable. and wagging on his shoulders, and, his tears of agony splashig on the table in front of him, heard the sentence that he be electro cuted in the week beginning May 22.
 0CbS OHiy mOitIi tO LIVE.
 Ordinarily condemned criminals in capital cases get three monts before suffering the death penalty. Heide. mann gets only few days more than a month.
 Heiemann was convicted on his own confession, made to Private Detective Meimeister after he had ben arrested and released by the police for lack of evidence. Meimeister gained his friend ship by pretending he was helr to a large amount of money and a criminal sought by the police.
 Then he fixed up fake murder. He took Hedemann walking and met an other detective, quarreled with him and fired a blank cartridge at him. Tho second detective fell and feigned death, and Hedemann and Meimeister fed
 Meimeister next told Heidemann a pal of his, a crook, was coming from Chicago and he would have to leave Heidemann because his pal thought he had told Heidemann too much, and that Heidemann, having nothing to fear. would denounce him to the po- lice.
 Admits Staying Child.
 Tn fear of being deserted by his cnly friend, Heidemann, to prove he could not go to the police said he had killed Marie Smith.
 Meimeister said he wouldn't believe 1t until Heidemann told the whole story. Then Heidemann's secret that he had been concealing until he was half craze with nervousness, fell in a rush from his lips.
 The confession was afterwards re- peated with other detectives and stenographer in an adjoining room, and the arrest followed.
 By another witness, the prosecutor proved that 15 minutes after the mur- der Heidemann, calm and smiling, sat at dinner in his boarding house, ban tering the women there.

ALFONSO in
GAY PARIS LIFE
English Government Agents
Are Running Down His
Reported DereliCtiOnS
KINGS MOVEMENTS In
FRENCH CAPITAL GUARDED

BY United States Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Feb. 10-Goyernment
agents, who have been trying to run
down the reported derelictions of
King Alfonso of Spain. during his
secret visits to Paris. received mail
adyices today that Alfonso's alias
while in Paris was Monsieur Lamy."
On these trips TO the pleasure resorts
jl the French capitol. which are per
,sistenly reported to have estranged
Queen Victoria from the King, Al
fonso was always accompanied by a
young Spanish nobleman, of unknown
identity, and by two specially chosen
detectives.
The mere fact that Alfonso guarded
his movements while in Paris with
such care is considered proof that
he was indulging in little filings at high
life, the nature of which it would
never have done for the public TO
know.
Simultaneously with the receipt OF
Jhis information. came an Official de-
NAL by the Spanish court that there
arc marital differences between Al
fOuso and Victoria. The reports
published in different European pa
pers.r the denial says, respecting
differences between the King and
Queen of Spain and regarding the
Queens proposal for a separation arc
absolutely false and caluminous. Tho
King and Queen are aware that poll
teal enemies have invented these
( lies
Denial Was DELAYED.
The issuing Of this denial. was q
great surprise to English court cir
cles. and it is feared It's effect will
be exactly opposite from what was
intended 10y It's sponsors. The worst
eaWre Of the denial is that it was

ences between Alfonso and Victoria
and Il mas taken all this time. &C
cording TO the best information oh
tainable here for the English aul

a denial could be issued.
