GRILL JAN|TOR WHO
SENT NITRO BOMBS
New Yorker Who Admits Killing
Two Persons, May Confess
Other Crimes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Their suspicious
aroused by the peculiar nature OF the
outrases to which John Paul Farrell
has confessed. the police have placed
lin on the grill to try to sweat from
him a confession of other similar
crimes that have occurred recently.
Convinced also that at least portion
OF the confession of Farrell Is bona
flee, Deputy Commissioner Dougherty
has placed a dozen detectives at work
today to verify his tale.
Farrell asserted yesterday to the po-
lice that he had dispatched nitro
glycerin bombs to Helen Taylor. Judge
Otto Rosalsky, and Bernard Herrera,
superintendent of the apartment house
where Farrell had been employed as
janitor.
The first of the bombs killed Miss
Taylor, when ii exploded in ner apart
ment house, February 3, 1912. The one
sent to Judge Rosalsky did no damage,
although II exploded in his apartments.
The third, said to have been sent TO
his former employer because he was
Herrera, injured Sarah Faughtman, 4
boarder, and may cause the loss Of
Herrera's right eye.
Farrelrs motive for sending the bomb
to Helen Taylor, he said, was jealousy,
caused by her attentions to>other men.
He sent the bomb to Judge Rosalsky,
he said, out of a sense of gratitude to-
ward Joseph De Rosa, alias Joe the
Bull" who went to prison on a thirty
nine-year sentence from Judge Rosal-
sky rather than ''squeaf' on Farrell,
who was associated with him I'm bur-
glary enterprises
His only intention in sending the Her.
rera bomb, he insisted, was to scare
Herrera and not to cause death. To
emphasize this point, he insisted that a
short time ago he had planned to have
his life insured in favor of Mrs. Her.
rera, the bombs victim
All the bombs, according to Farrell,
were manufactured in his own basement
room from the same stock of nitro
glycerin purchased eighteen months
ago In a drug store near the corner Of
Third Avenue and Fourteenth street
He refused to give the exact address
of the drug store. The bomb sent to
Judge Rosalsky was the most compli-
Gated of the three, he said, while that
placed near the door of the Herrera fat
was the simplest. Both the bomb sef
to Judge Rosalsky and the bomb sent
to Helen Taylor were attached to cleo
tric batteries, upon which they depended
for a spark to ignite the nitroglycerin
while the bomb made for the Herraras
was arranged so that a percussion cap,
such as boys use in toy pistols, would
explode II.

Pageant Leaders Are
Divided Over Question
OF Parade Costumes

Conditions similar TO the armistice in
the Balkan war exist at suffragette
headquarters today as the result of a
suggestion made there regarding COS

immensely.
Courtroom Filled.
The twelve jurymen, who were per-
mitted by Judge Spain to go to their
homes last night. instead of being kept
In hotel, sauntered into the courtroom
shortly after 8 o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs.
Beach arrived at 9:45. just as the bailin
raped for order. Every chair in the
little hearing room was occupied and
there were scores standing up in the
bac kaisles.
Unique In Legal Annals.
The Beach case is unique in South
Carolina legal annals in that 1t is one
of the first prosecutions OF its kind in
the State which Is based solely on cir
cumstantial evidence, and also in that
II is trial under the technical charge
of assault with intent to KILL which
has been given precedence over seven
murder cases set for hearing this term
before Judge Spain.
The State apparently is not attempt
ing to present a complete story Of the
assault based on its contentious. It Is
relying on circumstantial evidence to
discredit the original story of the
wounding Of Mrs. Beach as told by
her husband at the time he conferred
with city authorities on the matter.
Beach's story Of the assault on his
wife by "a mysterious man" was that
he was sitting in the house at the time
Mrs. Beach first screamed; that he ran
outside. heard Mrs. Beach say her as
sailant was colored, carried her into
the house, ran upstairs and got revol-
yer, and then hurried outside In pur-
ouit VI the man. he SuSSeSte0 tne
great wound in Mrs. Beach's neck was
made by razor.
Testimony Aids State.
The States testimony tends to sup
port the prosecutors claim that suf-
ficient time did not .elapse between Mrs.
Beach's screams and Beach's pounding
on the door Of the house to regain ad-
mittance to permit of his running up
stairs for the revolver; that the wound
was not caused by a razor; that Mrs.
Beach, apparently, continued TO scream
after she had been carried into the
cottage.
Other circumstantial evidence against
the mysterious man" story was that the
assault occurred. at 80 p. m, that the
Beach cottage Is in a frequented part
of the town, that the street near by is
well lighted and that so far no witness
has been found who saw man run
ming away from the Beach home
The case, il was expected, will go to
the jury late this afternoon.

THE MASS MEETING NEW
STREET AND lax LAW.

A large number Of people gathered
at the auditorium Friday night to
healzthe proposed amendments to
theCharter discussed and after the
| meeting theInaj ofity of the senti-
meat seemed to be in favor-of the
proposedI1eW laws. One is to make
1t epnpulsory on property owners
to naaeadanize tf1eirblock of road
way ift he people owning 90 per
cent OF the frontage in a district so
petition, the cost to be bourne by
thes abutting property owners and
thesrepairs in the future to be done
by the city. It IS figured tfla t 81 90
a fdnning foot on each side will pay
for the work and the city gives the
property owners 10 years in which
to pay for same it they SO desire, J.
the deferred payments 70 bear six
per cent interest. Another matter,
discussed was the payment Of taxes
viz: If the taxes are paid Oeto-
Der when they are due, 2per cent
will be allowed, during the month.
OF November / per cent; December
sone.llalf of ope per cent; January
one per cent is added and SO on
for every Inonthsthe delinquent fails
to pay. The city by1Ihis means
figures it can paw its bills more
promptly, save 6 per cent on bor-
rowed money and that it will work
to the advantage of all.
In regard to the stteet matter it is
a good thing to push the c tvs
growth and beautify 1t, because tile
city is not able to carry on the work
as it should. TowE plide it is be-
lieved will assert itself and pretty
soonafter the bill becomes law the
citizens will be cldmoring for
macadarn streets. 1t certainly is a
good way to push the work. While
it viii cost the property owners
something and while in a sense it
looks Ike it is a little more than
should be required, vet the good it
will do, the time given to pay for it,
the enhancement of the value of the
property, etc., will more than off
set these or any other objections.
The street on which the editor lives
happens to need macaaam about as
bad as any street in town and of
course it will 1lit. him ahoatsass<hard
as anybody so when we are writing
about it we have this in mind as
we'll. ....
TIE proposed innovation for pay
ment of taxes is alright we think in
every particular and places burden
on no one.
We hardly believe the people can
90 wrong in endorsing these progress
sive measures, copied after other
progressive towns.

Owing to the large number of
