MAKE PARTIAL CONFESSION
Harry Heager. Aged 10. and Ed.
Meyer, Aged 81 Admit They Were
With Woman on Fatal Night and
That They Lett Her Dead.

Evansville additional mystery
surrounding the death of Matilda
Bereresterman, who was supposed to
have been murdered in the kitchen
of her fathers home, resulted in the
arrest of Harry Berger, II years old,
and Edwin Meyer. 8 years, in con-
nection with the case. Fred Berest-
erman, the father. is now in jail,
charged with his daughters death.
The two young men tell story,
in a signed statement, which coin
cides to some extent with that told
by Bereresterman. They say they met
Bereresterman, who was on his way
home while in an intoxicated condi-
ton, and that they assisted him to
his house, which is on the outskirts
of the city.
Arriving there, they were met by
Miss Bereresterman, with whom they
admit having improper relations.
They retired to the rear part of the
house, and according to their story,

they carried her into the front room
where they placed her on couch,
after telling the father of her condi-
ton. Then they went to their homes.
When the police arrived at the
house the following morning, after
being notified of the young woman's
death by the father, her face was
battered and her body showed
numerous bruises as though she had
been kicked A bloody hammer,
with which 1t is supposed she was
struck in the face, was found in the
house.
Berger and Meyer are unable to
account for the condition of the
young woman's body when found by
the police, but they say it is possible
that she was mistreated by her father
after they left the house.
