Matawan, Dec. 19.-At a hearing
lasting from 2 o'clock to $50 We'd

H. S. Lowe, Arthur Huff, the sus-
pected boy burglar, made a full con-
fession under a severe cross examina-

years of age until next June, in com
pany with Arnold Bush, of Cliffwood,
on Tuesday, December 10, played
truant from school and went to
Cliffwood and for a time stayed near
the duck pond. Finally wanting a
place to sleep they entered an ice
house and as it was cold, lighted a
fire. The fire became beyond their
control and as a result the ice house
was destroyed. They then derided to
find out the time and went to the
offire of the N. j. Brick Company,
opened a window and Huff entered
and took some keys, tape measure,
matches and some pencils.
The next morning, December IL,
they killed some chickens and roast

KEYpORT MAN
DEAD BY GAS
Lewis ConkIin Suffocates In
Room at Hotel,
Special TO the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, Dec. 19.-Lewis Conklln.
of this place, was found dead in a
room in the Monmouth hotel in
Broad street. shortly after seven
O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Conklin appeared at the hotel
shortly before noon on Tuesday and
engaged a room to which he retired
at once, and was not seen about the
hotel afterward. His body was dis
covered in the morning by the man
agement of the hotel, who vas noti-
fed by a boarder of the strong odor
of gas coming from the room.
Dr.. H. w. Hartman was imme-
diately summoned. An. examination
dead some time. On investigating
a gas jet was found to have been
turned on full and that the room in
which he met his death was not the
room to which he was assigned, ap-
parently a room of firmer construc-
ton. This coupled with the fact that
the dead man has had considerable
domestic trouble OF late has lead
many to believe hat it was a case OF
self destruction.
On the other hand it is stated that
his trouble had been satisfactorily
adjusted and there is no apparent
reason why he would do away with
himself. His relatives believe that
while the circumstances point tow
ards suicide, that it was a case of ac-
cidental death.
Funeral Director Harry D. Bedle
took charge of the case. Coroner
Harry S. Fay, of Red Bank, was noti-
fed and viewed the body. His YER
dict was that of accidental asphyx-
iation. The body was then trans
ferred to Bedle's morgue. The dead
nan was widely known throughout
the borough, having lived here for
a number of years.
He is survived by his widow, of
this place, his mother, grandmother
and sister of Newark, and three
brothers, E. e. Conklin of Keyport,
William Conklin of K~eansburg and
Harry Conklin of Newark.

ney, of Cliffwood. When the boy,
who is just thirteen, reached home,
Mr.. Maloney, as a punishment sent
him to bed and locked his door and
hid his clothes, SO the Bush boy is
not implicated in anyway with the
Bedle robbery.
Young Huff graphically describes
the Bedle robbery. At Tuesdays
hearing he maintained that two
Matawan young men were with him,
but on Wednesday under cross ex-
animation confessed he did the deed
himself. He claims at one o'clock
he pried open a window in the rear
by means of a screw driver, took
about $500 worth and hid 1t. $50
was in money, the rest in watches
and silver. Twice he has taken Con
table John Mulsoff and Mr.. Lowe to
show them where the loot is and in
each case thep lace has been a diff
ferent Il and the loot was not
found.
1t is believed that he is not con-
nected in any way with the other
~robberies, which has placed Mata-
wan in a high stage of excitement.
Lawyer John Lloyd conducted the
cross examination Wednesday after
noon.
Both boys are still in Jail. Recor-
der Lowe will probably commit them
to Judge Foster of Freehold today.
1t is hoped to ecover the goods be-
fore the Huff boy goes to Freehold.
He maintained the loot has been
stolen from where he hid it, and that
is the reason it cannot be found. z
