New York. March 3l.-Propped up
with pillows on his cot in the Ford
ham hospital and with his failing
breath coming in convulsive gasps,
Henry J klotZ, the draughtsman in
the Office OF Borough President Mil
Ter, OF the Bronx, who was MORALLY
injured on March u BY the premature
explosion OF bomb he was making,
confessed that he had constructed and
sent the Internal machines which had
caused the deaths Of Mrs. Grace
Walker and Mrs. Madeline Herrera
and blew up the apartment OF General
Sessions Judge Otto A. Rosalslly. His
death followed within few minutes
of the completion OF the narrative.
The confession was made volun-
tarily after the surgeons had notified
Klotz that he had but few hours to
live 1t came too soon, for when the
police arrived they found the man too
weak to be questioned at any length,
and they were forced to conf1ne them
selves to getting the bare facts. Any
undue excitement would have caused
immediate death, hence much of the
story remained untold when the
draughtsman, with a sigh of relief, an
nounced that he had made his peace
with his maker and said goodby to
those surrounding his deathbed.
Tho adn Jcci w X
sent the Herrera and Rosalsky bombs
clears John Paul Farrell, now con-
fined in the Tombs for the murder OF
Mrs. Herrera, and eXonerates man
who for months has been suspected
Of having mailed the Rosalsky ma
chine, which manned Inspector owen
Eagan, of the bureau of combustibes.
Farrell will be discharged on the hon.
icide count Immediately, but he will
be held on the charge of impairing the
morals of young boys.
Even to the last Klotz played the
JekyllHyde role which he assumed
years ago before he became employed
in the Typographical bureau of the
Bronx, completely hoodwinking his
ment he was sure he could not live
he protested that at the time the
bomb he was manufacturing exploded,
tearing away part of one arm and
perforating his right lung, he was
merely perimenting with smokeless
powder
When he felt death approaching he
10 70, Dria Of he
detective bureau, and while he lay
propped up by pillows and strength
ened from time to time with restora-
tives, told Price that he had sent
bomb to Grace Walker because he
had quarreled with her; that he had
planned to murder Judge Rosalsky
because he didn't approve of Rosals-
ky's course in the case of Bradnt,
Mortimer Schiff's valet, from what he
had read in the newspapers, and that
the bomb which destroyed Mrs. Her
rera was for experimental purposes.
The elder Klotz, shaken with grief,
withdrew and remained out of the
room until the confession was ended
by the dying mans weakness. At the
outset OF his statement KlotZ was
barely able to talk. Frequently he
had to pause for strength to con-
tinue.
First of all, he asked Captain Price
not to reveal certain episodes of his
life that had nothing to do with the
bombs, but which had come inciden-
tally to the knowledge of the detec-
tives. The promise was made and
kept. For the next twenty minutes
he answered questions or spoke to the
