BODY 0F 5 THAN
 SWkns.sZ IS FOUND He Commits Suicide by
 Inhaling Gas LEAVES CONFESSION Admits Guilt of Murder of Julia Connors-Writes Letter to His
 Mother Telling Her
 Not to Cry
LEAVES CONFESSION

New York, July 1S.-The body of Nathan Swartz. whose father informed the police that his son was the slayer of 14-year-old Julia connors, was found early today on the fourth floor of a tenement house on Chrystie street swartz had committed suicide by nhaling gas. The body was identified by Detective Joseph Brennan.
 Swartz had rented the room eight days ago under the name of Max Hirskowitz from Max Kaplan. Early today Kaplan smelled gas. On investigation he found swartz In bed with the end of gas tube tied to his mouth Investigation by a physician showed the man was dead. Confesses Guilt
 Written in lead pencil on his collar were the words
 T am guilty and insane, caused by the beautiful makeup of women, which has made me crazy"
 There were several pieces of newspaper lying around, and on one of these was written the sentence: T was sorry the minute after I did it. So don't cry for me-"
 A letter was found addressed to Schwsrtzs mother, In which he confessed his guilt and telling her not to cry her eyes out.
 Later Philip swartz identified the dead man as his brother.
 Only a few days ago Swartz's father informed the police that his son had told him that he had killed the Connors girl, to which the father responded that there was nothing left for the son but to com init suicide.
 Letter to Mother
 A letter lying on the floor said in part as follows:
 New York, J lly r, 1912. This Is only to my dear mother. who I am always homesick for, and the same to the rest and pa, whose word am talk ing this, for I consider it the easiest death. If happen to be revived and then executed I'll take that medicine just the me for two days work Please secure very poor.
 neighbor Tell mother again that I am really guilty and she'll not cry her eyes and heart out. I know she thinks I'm in- nocent. I'm sorry done it, but 1 got crazy as I often do and you can't blame me nor anyone else"
 Swartz, his landlord said, would have been turned out of his room this morning for failure to pay his rent. and the po- lice thought that fearful of the ordeal of finding another place of shelter and subjecting himself to the gaze of strang- CTS, Swartz finally brought himself to en- tertain the idea of suicide suggested to him by his father.

The outcome of the consultation was not made known, but the mayor took occasion to give out a letter he sent yesterday to the eommis- sioner, asking that Becker and the other officers be brought before him.
 The mayors letter expressed surprise that Becker should sit down to dinner with a man of Rosenthals character. That he did, seems to be admitted the mayor commented
 District Attorney Whitman had his say in letter seht to Commissioner Waldo today. relating to the commissioners re quest for an immediate and complete in- yestigation of allegations of partnership between policemen and gamblers.

 Developments

New York, July 1s.-"The trail leads where I thought it did," remarked Dis trict Attorney Whitman late today. This was just after he had heard the statement of Jack" Rose, the friend of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker. and the man who hired the gray automobile in which the slayers of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, drove to the spot where their Victim met his fate early last Tuesday morning. Little by little the involved skein of motives and personalities behind the killing is being unravelled. and to- night it seemed probable that other im- portant arrests would follow speedily.
