 Albany, N. Y., Jan. 14.-Nrs. Edith Melber, the young widow who con- fessed to the Rochester police yester- day that she had slain her little five year-old son, George, by giving him poison because she could not support him, arrived here late this afternoon in charge of detective and was hur- ried to the jail in closed carriage. She was weak and nervous and con- stantly on a verge of mysteries. There Was no demonstration on her arrival at the railroad station, but great crowd surrounded the police head quarters when she arrived.
 In speaking of the murder of her son to Polce Matron Kerber, before she left Rochester, she sobbed: q thought it was better for him to be dead than to face the struggle I have had.'
 During the five hour trip from Ro- chester she spoke to the detective about the dead child saying: q want to see Georgia. I want t, SO to his funeral and I don't want my folks to be allowed to bury him. They would not care for him in life, why should they be allowed to do so now that he is gone. I want my black clothes brought from Schenectady to me be- cause I must go to my baby's funer al.''-
 Keen observers noted the womanis strange actions during the coroner's nquest, held here. She was unable to say what she done with the boys suit or coat, which were missing. She showed no emotion during the or deal. The police, working on the theory that Mrs Melber killed her son because he was an obstacle in the way of her remarriage,, today ques- toned Howard Kirk, of Schenectady, plumber, who was to be engaged to her. Kirk denies this and said he never had any intention of marrying Mrs. Melber.
 It is believed that Mrs Melber s defense will be insanity. Her sister, Mrs. William L. Simmons, of Syra- cusel has number of letters whi.. she says ind'cates that Mrs. Melper was not in her right mind.
