Yesterdays most important development
in the case was n statement which Man
rinS. through his counsel, save out late
Yesterday afternoon regarding his move
rents OH the day OF tho tragedy and that
following.
Manning said that on Friday ne went
TO Mrs Garrabrant's house, and there
found Miss ierdman. who was angry
because she detected liquor on Manning,
and a quarrel followed. Manning says
that he then went TO his garage and
ulsved pinochle untN late in the after
noon. aftervard dropping in AZ DRESS
hotel and remaining there until about 30
j.. m. lie then went back TO his sister
home where he lived.
When he arrived there he found Miss
Herdman and took her TO her home in

up some business affairs. he said, and
then retired for the night. The next
morning. he said, he drove 70 Bloomfield
and got Miss Herdman, bringing her TO
Newark and taking her back home
again. He had no more than reached his
garage, he said, than news came that the
girl had taken mercury and was dying.
NcDermit spent some time with his
client a. Headquarters last night, and
then made a statement in which he
cleared up several seeming discrepancies
in the case.
The sole excuse on which Manning was
being held by the police. the lawyer said,
was Mrs Garrabrsnt's alleged statement
on thu night Of the shooting that some
thing awful had happened-a statement
20 which Manning, McDermlt said, paid
no attention at the time
Even the trip 10 the hospital McDermit
said, left Manning completely in the dark
IA 10 the real facts in the case, because
Miss lierdman told him that she had been
seized with an acute attack Of dyspepsia.
and that when a doctor handed him the
confession note Manning read only as
FAR rs Dear Charles, I have killed your
wife, and put the letter in his pocket,
from which he did not remove il until
Chief Long arrived al the hospital.
