REpuDtATEs HIS CONFESSION.
WOlfsohn Now Denies 1hat He Mur-
dered Anna Schumacher,

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Repudi-
ating his statement made to the po-
lice Tuesday and yesterday, Jacob
Wolfsohn yesterday denied that he
was guilty Of the murder of Anna
Schumacher in a cemetery in Roches-
ter four years ago.
When questioned by District At
torney Barrett, of Rochester, Wolf
sohn broke down, and declared that
he had confessed to the murder be-
cause he wanted to die and could not
bring himself to commit suicide.
Il want to take back my confess
sion. 1t is not true l killed the girl,
and | can prove my innocence" he
exclaimed Historically. "You can do
with me whatever you want, but /
do not want to die with the record
Of a murderer
"My life has been an unhappy one.
| cannot return to Russia because |
left there to escape military service,
My wife divorced me here. ] hoped
to end my troubles by being put to
DEATH"
Mr.. Barrett, before leaving for Ro-
chester, said that he would further
investigate before determining whe-
ther he would ask for reuuisition
for Wolfsohn.
1T has been proved that the pris-
oner worked near the cemetery
where the crime was committed, but
his description of the clothing worn
by the girl does not correspond with
the facts" he said. 81 am satisfied
that he is the murderer"
Mr.. Barrett will endeavor to find
Wolfsohn's former wife in New
York City to learn whether he had
ever made confession of the crime
to her.
Wilson will have a hearing here
Wednesday on the larceny charge for
which he was in custody when he
made his first confession.

r.. Y. MANNING FOR GOVERNOR.
Announces Candidacy and Indicates
High Standard of Politics.

Columbia, Sept. 26.-Richard I.
Manning, OF Sumter, has issued a
statement calling upon the people of
South Carolina to get together on
platform of principles, pleading for
honest primary elections and for a
business administration of the affairs
Of the State.
Advocating strict enforcement of
existing party rules as to the prima-
ries, Mr.. Manning takes the stand
that there should be just such
amendments to the rules as will give
every white man in the State, not dis
tory provisions, the right to vote, and
will prevent any man from voting
more than once in primary.
"No man with proper self-respect
and sense of right would want an Of
fee acquired by fraud" states Mr.
Manning, 80 that what / am plead
ing for Is honest elections, the result
Of such elections to be the expression
Of the will of the voters, independent
ly cast and honestly counted.
81 shall certainly be a candidate in
the approaching primaries for Cover
nor of South Carolina.
"Unless it is forced upon me,
shall not recognize the existence of
two factions in the Democratic party
in this State. My own belief is that
the people Of the State are tired of
strife, and that the time has come
when the interests Of all our people
will be advanced by getting together
on platform Of principles, admins
tering the government along business
lines, looking to the upbuilding of the
educational, agricultural and COM
mercial development of the State. All
differences a4nong the whites in gov
ernmenta! policies and officers have
been 5ettled in the Democratic pri-
me- fies."

BILE home. Her stepmother made her
feel as if her home was almost a
prison, she said.

one room and eat them peaceably
than to dine in mansion with the
services of a coterie OF servants un-
der the conditions existing when

she said.

file ensued, when he was killed with

from his place Of business, had been
sleeping in small room at the store
since it was Durglagized several
weeks ago, and is known to have
slept with pistol under his pillow.

morning all the electric lights were
burning. There were no Indications

from the outside. Taylor was found
