Besides this, Mr.. Dougherty said
Farrell has served 10 years in the New
Jersey penitentiary at Trenton for
burglary and other crimes. At John
McDermott, alias Liverpool Jack,
Farrells picture is in the rogues gall
lery in Jersey City, according to in
formation brought to Dougherty.
FarreIl's desire to confess so many
crimes early. lead Mr.. Dougherty to
wonder if his prisoner is sane. He
Immediately set about verifying the
story, While detectives were busy
about this, the janitor. heavy-eyed
from lack of sleep. chewed an un-
lighted half smoked cigar and kept
two sterographers busy taking down
fresh details of his protracted story.
In his threadbare brown suit, and
wearing old. nicked eyeglasses and
ragged shoes, he looked so common
place that the detectives scarce be-
lieyed him capable of the cunning he
had shown, His long curly hair,
streaked with grey, was disheveled,
his face was covered with a week $
beard and on his greasy fingers he
wore two great brass rings.
After an all night grilling and more
of it, during the forenoon, Farrell was
tractable. this afternoon, and answer
ed without hesitation every question
put TO him. He said he was born in
4 Ireland, So years ago. had lived in
Poughkeepsie and had served as an
orderly in the army, during the Span
ish war. He was asked if he. had
served in the navy and promptly dis
: played ~. S. M tattooed on his right
arm. He had been a nurse, too, he
said. This was in the Massachusetts
General hospital in Boston. He also
told the police that he had been con-
fined for a short time in an asylum
for the insane at Danville. Pa.
The bomb Farrell placed opposite
Herrera's door he made in his room,
he said, according to the same formu-
Ia used in manufacturing the Rosal-
sky and Taylor bombs. The materials
consisted of iron pipe. springs, paper.
two boxes. a steel button and per-
cussion cap. The explosive in each
case was Miro glycerine He gave the
police specimen of his handiworlz by
constructing a dummy internal ma
chine and demonstrating it as he told
of his crimes.
The Taylor and Rosalsky bombs
were made in the cellar of a house in
East i4th street, Farrell said, where
he was employed as an elevator run
ner. The superintendent of the build
ing recalled, this afternoon, that Far
rell used to lock himself in the cellar
at times and became enraged if he
was disturbed. A reporter, who ex-
afnined the premises. found on the
noor short length of pipe. fashioned
at each end just as Farrell said he
made the bombs.
A connection between the Taylor
and Rosalsky cases were suspected
through the fact that addresses on tht
two packages apparently were mad.

DR.. Wyman and his father. DR. Hast
ings Wyman, the first outside the Beach
household to see Mrs. Beach after she
had been wounded, stated on cross-exam-
nation that the attitude of Beach and
his wife toward each other was one of
affection. They reached the room into
which Mrs. Beach had been carried while
blood was streaming from wound In the
neck Just under the right ear and Beach
told them the story he has since reiter-
ated-that his wife was attacked in front
of their cottage by an unknown Negro.
Every effort of the prosecution today,
appeared to be directed at picking flaws
in Beachs story rather than at support
ing its own contention that Beach attack
ed his wife after he had failed to over
take white man he was pursuing.
Mrs. Beach was the most conspicuous
figure in the court room, today She sat
through the two long sessions. taking an
occasional note from the testimony and
chatting with her husband and friends,
who surrounded her.
She and her husband were almost the
first ones to enter the court room and the
last to leave it. At no time during the
proceedings did Beach consult with his
counsel.
y jury of county men will decide the
guilt or innocence of the wealthy New
Yorker. Seven of them are farmers, one
a merchant and the others cotton mill
operatives.
Both sides expressed confidence that the
case would go to the jury, tomorrow.
Adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock
tomorrow.

BuLGARlANs WITHDRAW
From Burning Village of Tchatalja-
AdrianopIe Still Safe.

%.
Constantnople, Feb. 4.-The Bulgarians,
according to reports received. tonight, are
retiring from the burning village OF
Tchatalja, especially on the left wing.
This is regarded as a strategical move
ment, possibly with the idea of drawing
the Turks into the offensive.
The belief is held among military ex-
perts here that no serious operations are
to be expected at Tchatalja for the pres.
ent. The condition of the southern por-
ton of the zone between the lines of the
belligerents is such as to render the
movement of men impossible. 1t is lit
tie better than morass. Only on the
higher grounds in the northern region
can the armies come into contact, and il
seems improbable that either side will in,
dluge in an attack in force.
1t is supposed that the Bulgarians de-
nounced the armistice less on account OF
the failure of the negotiations than be-
cause they expected that Adrianople
would be obliged to surrender in few
days and an arnistiee still in operation
might have embarrassed their liberty OF
action.
According to best Information here, the
fortress will be able to resist for long
time Much is expected among competent
observers of the new blood which IS now
at the head of both military and civil
administrations. burning to avenge the
early defeats. and the enterprise and dar.
ing of men like Enver Bey, now for the
first time given chance, it is believes
may surprise the allies.
The new grand vizier. Mahmoud Shelf.
ket Pasha, is already showing the organ.
izing qualities which won him renown
and gives many hours a day to superin-
tending in person the military arrange
ments.
