John Paul Farrell Says She Was
Better Dead Than Living, A
Life of Shame-Produces Ev-
idence to Show That He Is the
Father of Mysterious Explosion
SENT BOMB THAT
KILLED MRS. HERRARA
In Making for Police Exact
Replica of Bombs Used He
Also Admits Sending Bomb
to Judge RosalsIxy

New York, Feb. 4-Because h
could no longer bear the thought that
his daughter was living q life of
shame, John Paul Farrell, according
to his confession at police headquar-
ters, today, made and sent the bomb
that killed Mrs. Grace Walker Taylor
in her flat on 77th street, a year ago.
This confession followed that made
by Farrell admitting he made the
bomb that killed Mrs. Bernard Her
rara who lived in the apartment house
where he was janitor.
Farrell told the police he sent the
bomb in revenge for being discharged
by Aerrara, the superintendent of the
building.
Farrell also declared he had made
the bomb that was sent to Judge Otto
Roealslxy last March and which ex-
ploded in the judges apartment when
being opened.
In his cell, today, Farrell made an
Herrara case.
It was also identical-in construction
with the bombs in the Taylor and
Rosalsky incidents. In the case or the
Taylor woman, Farrell astonished the
police by bringing out documentary
evidence tending to prove his state
sI could not bear to see her living
that life- I wrote her many times to
give it up and come to me. She re-
fused. I sent her a bomb. She was
better dead" was FarrelPs answering
explanation.
His startling confession came after
nine hours continuous grilling i'm the
office of Deputy Police Commissioners
Southerly. Last night the little gray
haired man was kept in his chair
while a squad of detectives, working
in relay, piled him with questions In
continuous stream. The old mans
nerve gave way and he gave the police
the story the like of which Gotham
had not heard in many years.
AS Farrell told the last details OF
his crimes he collapsed and his hyster-
ical screams echoed through the build
ing He was half carried to-hig cell
and given medical attention.

The first month Of 1913 was some

the official observer says that his rec
ord show that the mean temperature
for the month was over 10 degrees
warmer than the average for the past

Some of the special features that
Observer Jennings noticed about the
January just passed were that, there
was no frost in the ground. no ice
on the ponds and no ice gathered for
storage during the month. On Jan
20, earth worms came out on the
walks after shower and on the 31st
Of the month there was a thunder
storm just to add little variety to
the weather.
On January the mercury SCARED
and registered So and it looked as
though there was not going to be any
winter. On the 9Th of the month the
mercury did drop to Is for a short
time but it did not stay long for
the mean temperature Of the month
was 37.5
The total precipitation for the month
was 1856 inches but there was only
two inches of snow during the month
without any being in evidence at the
end of the month. There were II days
during the month when there was .O1
inch or more precipitation. There IL
cloudy days, 10 partly cloudy, and 10
that were clear.
