FAITH IN WEBER
NOW FALTER|NG
Wife of Gambler Has Not
Seen Him Since He De-
scribed Plot.

NEW YORK, Oct. .--"Bridgie'
Webber's young and pretty wife,
who at. first vowed he was guiltless
of any participation in Herman Ros-
enthal's murder, has faltered in her
faith. His testimony staggered her
belief in him.
Before the trial she said she was
convinced of her husbands innocence,
but she has not visited him since the
day he described in court his part in
plotting the attack on Rosenthal. She
has not. appeared at Beckers trial,
where she could get a glimpse of her
husband occasionally. but has kept
strictly to her home on Second ave-
nue.. Friends say that the anxiety
and suspense is rapidly undermining
her health.

President Quits
Summer Capital

BEVERLY, Mass, Oct. 23.-Bev-
erlys glory as the summer capital
grew dim today when President Taft
packed away his golf sticks and
climbed aboard a White House auto
mobile with Mrs. Taft, Miss Helen
and Secretary of State Knox. to end
his vacation in the North, with a
three-day motor trip into the heart
of Maine. The Presidents lease on
Parramatta expires this year, and
the Beverlyites do not look for his re-
turn, no matter how the November
election goes
Mr.. Taft has spent four summers
near Beverly, and he and his family
have been familiar figures on the
roads about the summer capital,
known to most of the inhabitants of
this little Eastern Massachusetts
city.
The Presidents vacation here this
year was long. He arrived August
27 and began the task of keeping out
of a hot campaign, keeping up with
a lively correspondence and getting
ready for the session of Congress. In
the two months he has been here he
has done scores of things besides
playing golf and motoring.

ACCUSES HUSBAND
OF TWO MURDERS
Police Investigate Story About
Man Arrested for Assault
and Battery.

After being held in $500 bail for
the grand jury by Judge Herr in the
Second Criminal Court on the charge
of assault and battery. preferred by
his wife, Alexander Papp, Hun
garian, of 164 James street, was re
moved to police headquarters, where
ethe detective bureau will investigate
two murders which his wife alleges
he confessed to having committed.
According to the statement of the
woman, Papp, living in America for
several years. returned to his native
land, and represented to her that
he was a man of wealth, and said
that If she came to this country with
him he would make her wealthy. She
assented, and they were married In
January Of this year and landed in
New York April o.
She further alleges that immediate
ly upon their arrival her husband
began mistreating her because she
would not earn a living for the two
and that on numerous occasions he
threatened her life, and II was In
one of these fits of anger when he
said that he would do the same to
her as he had done to two men,
whereupon he related their fate.
The first crime he told of was that
when he was working as a laborer on
a building in construction in Buffalo
in 1906 or 1907. He and a fellow laborer
had an argument, and he threw the
man from a scaffold, killing him in
stantly. He fed the country. and
while in Hungary he was riding with
a friend and he fired a pistol shot into
his back, also killing him.
Through Harry Unger, an attorney,
who. on request of Judge Herr acted
as interpreter, the man denied both
charges, but when confronted by his
wife he became very much excited and
exclaimed: what are you trying to
break my neck on the gallows for?"
According to- Detectives Volk and
Goodwin, who arrested Papp, the
woman is mortally afraid of her hus-
band, and, for fear that she might flee
the country to escape harm from his
hands, she was detained at the Second
precinct, to be held as a material wit
ness.
In the meantime Captain Carroll. of
the detective bureau, has had Papp' s
photograph taken, and will imme-
diately communicate with the Buffalo
police authorities.

TROUSSEAU WORRY
OF SCHOOLGIRL
Forced to Continue Studies,
Says Board of Education Has
Broken Her Heart.

How is Carmella Petraporzia going
to prepare her trousseau?
She stamped her foot and shook her
pretty head and told the school au-
thorities with all the determination
Of her fourteen years, that she in
tends to sew her own wedding
dresses
To do so she will have to work hard,
so very hard, from now right up to
the day of the ceremony next month.
Hence, manifestly, she cannot pos
sibly attend school at the same time.
She Is willing to go to night school,
but, can't the Board of Education
understand the Importance of her
trousseau?
She explained it all very prettily to
the extremely dense and obdurate
Charles A. Mccall, superintendent of
attendance. When she was all
through and he started to shake his
head in stern negation. she began
again.
Surely the Board of Education had
heart Mr.. Mccall looked to be a
kind man, even IL his words were
see that her trousseau-
But Mr.. Mccall couldn't see, and
Carmella melted into tears.
She and her prospective husband,
Leonardo Alonzo, 26 years old, of 45
Bedford street, have already obtained
their marriage license.
Carmella is quite willing to attend
night school, but she thinks 1t is too
much to ask a bride-to-be to attend
day school a month before her mar
riage.
Unless Mr.. Mccall relents. however,
she will remain a pupil of the Bel
mont Avenue School until her we'd
ding day. But what about her trous-
seau?

Jam Pantry Raid Gives Clue to
Detectives Working on
Mysterious Robbery.

Four self-cQpfessed "yeggs," who
tried to crack the safe of the Lacka-

Sunday. are in the house of deten-
ton today.
These daring desperadoes are slated
as James Travis. 10 years old. of 1863

Casey, IL, of so Ninth avenue. and
Joseph Fuller, IL. of 4l0 North Fifth
street
They admitted, according to the
police, that they tried to open the
safe in the Park avenue plant of the
company with hatchet. The hatchet
was considerably damaged.
The deed was done under the ex-
hilarating stimulus of grape juice.
This had been stolen in successful
raid the boys made upon the store of

367 Fifth street.
Planned Raid on jam Pantry.
1t seems that the quartet decided
to raid the jam pantry, only in this
case the jam pantry was the we'll

Grape juice jam and jelly to the
value of SIS were carried off, and it
went the way of ali good juice and
jam. But SIS worth was rather much,
even for the phenomenal capacity of
small boy.
After the last of the Jam had van

mood when an adventure looked ap-
pealing.

bate, decided that the proper instru-
ment for prying 1t open would be a

started to find a safe.
Hatchet OF No Use.
They chose the office strong box OF
the Lackawanna Ice and Coal Conn
pany in Park avenue. After they
had attacked the safe they came to
the conclusion that hatchet is not
a good tool for "yeggman." So they
took some stationery and left.

grape juice bottles strewn along the
towpath of the Morris canal in close
conjunction with billheads of the ice
company they came to the conclu-
sion that both robberies were by the
same hand.
They finally discovered that the
boys had been seen with stationery
of the firm.
When the four were taken before
Lieutenant Jacques. of the Fifth pre-
