4 BOMB MAKER
SLEW TWO WOMEN
A New York Janitor Confesses His
Crimes.
SENT BOMB TO JUDGE R0SALSKY
John P. Farrell Talked Freely of Muir
der of Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Her.
rera-Police Convinced of
HIS Insanity.
SENT BOMB TO JUDGE R0SALSKY

New York, Feb. 5.-John Paul Far
rell, a discharged apartment house
janitor, confessed he killed Mrs. Ber-
nard Herrera Sunday night by bomb
he made, and by similar means caused
the death of Mrs. Helen Taylor
year ago, and attempted the life OF
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky of the court
of general sessions last March.
Although the police are convinced
the man is mentally unbalanced,
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty said
detectives have learned enough to
lead them to believe Farrell's star
thing story is true in the essentials,
though false in many details.
Every time Farrell had a grievance
he seems to have settled the business
with bomb. The trouble with Mrs.
Herrera, he said, was that she fired"
him from his job as janitor. He want
ed to get Judge Rosalsky out of the
way because the jurist had sentenced
Joseph Harvey, pal" to SO years
in Sing Sing for stealing SIG worth
of jewelry. Farrell told the police he
helped Harvey rob Peter Johnson's
home in the Bronx in 1908, but easily
escaped.
Why Farrell wanted to kill the Tay-
lor woman-sometimes known as
Grace Walker"-was more than the
police could fathom. In his early
story Farrell said she was his daugh-
ter and he slew her because she had
gone wrong. Later he recanted this
and said she was an intimate friend,
but gave no reason for killing her.
He also told Dougherty why and by
whom kid" Walker was shot down
and slain in 1887 on the Bowery. He
said Walker betrayed the Taylor wom-
an. and a man named Lestrange killed
him in revenge.
Having disposed of the bomb mys-
teries Farrell confessed, the police
assert, to having perpetrated a series
of robberies in Brooklyn, and the rob-
berry of the Johnson home. Harvey
and Harry Hartman, his companions
in the latter exploit, were sentenced
to Sing Sing for SO years and nine
years, respectively.
Mr.. Dougherty said Farrell served
ten years in the New Jersey peniten'
tiary for burglary. AS John McDer'
mott, alias Liverpool Jack" Farrells
picture is in the rogues' gallery in
Jersey City.
Farrelrs desire to confess so many
crimes led Mr.. Dougherty to doubt his
sanity. He Immediately set about
verifying the story. While detectives
we're busy at this, the janitor kept
two stenographers busy. After an all
night grilling and more of it during
the forenoon, Farrell was tractable
and answered without hesitation
every question put to him. He said
he was born in Ireland SO years ago
and had served as an orderly in the
army during the Spanish-Americar
war. He was asked If he had served
in the navy and promptly displayed
~. S. N" tatooed on his right arm
He also told the police he had beer
confined for short time in an insane
asylum at Danville, Pa.

patient is his wife.

berculosis of the bone.

German scientist, who discovered the
serum, last month was offered one
