N. {. ELLIS MURDER
IS FINALLY SOLVED
Youth Arrested for Killing
Lumberman at SOmerviIIe,
N. j., Lays Blame on Woman
"Near and Dear to Him."

SOMERVILLE, " J., Jan. IL
Pinkerton detectives have solved the
sensational mystery of the shooting
two years ago OF Monroe f. Ellis.
wealthy lumberman, by some one who
fired a full load of buckshot through
a window while MIR. Ellis was seated
by the dinner table with his family.
Paul Carl. p, nephew Of Mrs. Grace
Holly, who for years has been en-
ployed as a bookkeeper in the office
of Mr. Ellis, Friday confessed to
Frederick o. Pope, prosecutor of
Somerset county, and j. A. Williams,
superintendent Of PinkertOn's Nation
al Detective agency, that he was paid
$400 by "a woman near and dear" to
him to shoot Ellis.
Carl, who was arrested in Camden.
n j., on Wednesday night is now a
prisoner in the Somerset county Jail.
His aunt, Mrs Holly, is said TO have
been present when the boy is alleged
TO have repeated the essential points
Of the confession.
Before attempting to assassinate Mr.
Ellis himself, Carl, according TO his
story to Prosecutor Pope first en-
deavored to hire a guerilla in New
York. He said that he met the wO-
man who inspired him to attempt
the murder in New York in the middle
of October, 1911, and that she g We
him $40 and said she would pay 500
if he would find a gunman who would
get" Ellis.
Failing to find guerilla who would
undertake the contract of killing Ell
lis, Carl said he again met the wo-
man whose name is being withheld,
on the evening of Nov 19, 1911. and
that on the following morning he
went to the plant of the Conkling
Lumber Co. in Bernardsville where
Ellis was pointed out to him. At
o'clock that evening he crept beneath
the window of the Ellis home in
Basking Ridge. When Ellis was
about TO take his seat by the table Carl
said he fired a full load Of buckshot
into his body.

Mr. Ford then went on to tell of
the happy days he spent in the Rum

there was quite a forest of century
old oaks, and tall beeches and elms

GEORGE FORD.

George Ford returned a calfskin
volume to a revolving book case and
turned about in a revolving chair TO

''Threshing," he replied briefs.

the harvest season l guess all the

into service. and l remAber we were
always paid in dimes.

so on.
II worked two days at so cents a

harvest dinners were elaborate af-

He paused TO enjoy his memories
of them. / smacked my lips. 1 paus-

AL JENNINGS

PITTSBURGH Jan. IA TWEEN
tieth century rebuke TO modern Phar-
isees and a whole volume of sermons
on the value of kindness and friend
illness were contained in the brief visit
of Al Jennings. eX-cOnVict and who is
now a candidate for governor of Ok
lahOma, at the home of Mrs. y. L.
Mclean OF this city.
Ten years ago Jennings was leaving
federal prison. He had been a
bandit. Prison had left bitterness in
his soul and his determination TO live
right was OOzing away under the
influence OF the sneers and cruelty
with which most OF the world treats
eX-COnVicts.
Jennings says that she gave him
he courage he needed, for lot all the
world seemed hostile after she had
encouraged his hone of making an
honest place for himself in the world.
