BURD CONFESSES
AGAIN TO KILLING
Insists He Murdered Manning
Riley, for Which John E.
SCHUYLER Stands Convicted.

TRENTON, Sept. 21.-By a. second
confession of the murder of Manning
Riley in 1907, Frank Burd. q convict
in the Trenton State prison, while en-
deavoring to save John Edward
Schuyler. convicted of the crime, from
undeserved punishment, has again
placed his own life in jeopardy.
Although Prosecuting Attorney
Richard Kuhl, of Pennington, had
ignored his previous confession, and
although a grand jury, investigating
the sensational Chalfont murder in
1907. under orders from Governor
Fielder, had refused to indict him for
the crime. Burd signed a statement
that every discriminating fact brought
out by affidavit in that grand jury In
vestigation was true To this state
ment an official of the Trenton peni-
Tertiary and a private citizen signed
their names as witnesses. record
will he placed In the hands of Prose-
cutor Klhl, Governor Fielder and the
Pardoning Board of New Jersey.
The second confession is considered
one of the most important documents
which the board will consider IN re-
viewing Schuyler's application for
pardon, which is backed by twenty
seven newspaper owners and nun
dreds of private individuals through
out New Jersey. The board will be In
session next November.
The difficulty the authorities have
experienced since Burd's first confess
sion, September 80, 1912, was in find
ing evidence to substantiate the con-
fession. Through the consistent de-
tective work by Constable Joseph
Mcconnell. of Annandale. sufficient
evidence was accumulated to bring
the case to the attention of grand
jury in Pennington. 1t was the truth
of this evidence to which Burd gave
testimony in his statement of last
week.
Although the grand jury at Flem-
ington did not indct on this testi-
mony and the prosecution of Burd for
the Riley murder seems to have been
indefinitely sidetracked, the friends
of Schuyler are confident that the re-
suit, If it will not bring punishment
for the guilty, will at least bring JUS
tice for the innocent.

Second Trial of Suit
Started by Estate of
Man Killed by Train

BY order of the Court of Errors and
Appeals. the second trial of the suit
of the estate of Lewis c. Green
against the Pennsylvania railroad
commenced today in the Supreme
Court circuit before Judge Adams.
The suit is brought by Lucius M.
Monroe. jr., administrator of the
Green estate, through the law firm of
Osborne & Ashley. Vredenburgh,
Wall & Carey are attorneys for the
railroad.
Robert L. Waring, travelling man,
who witnessed the accident. was the
first witness.
According to Waring, Green, on
June 1, 1911, was standing on the rail-
road platform, about three feet from
the edge, when the Federal express
passed. The suction from the train
was so great that Green was pulled
against the cars. He died the follow
ing day.
The case was tried more than a
year ago before Judge Adams, who
threw it out of court. The Court of
Errors and Appeals, however, re-
versed the decision.

Child Hygiene Committee
Tells of the Work Done
Since Beginning of Year

The child hygiene committee of the
Board of Health has issued an appeal
for funds to promote the saving OF
babies. The committee announces that
$40 will defray the expenses of 500
babies. The return on this amount
will be 40 babies lives and the res
toration to strength and vigor OF
many more small children. This es-
timation is based on experiments
January 1.
The report on these experiments
follows:
"Among the 485 babies supervised
since January |, 1914, from birth rec
erds, there were four deaths, that is
in every 100 babies, less than one died
during the eight months-a wonder
full record and one that probably can
be extended to the whole city.
''In the First and Third wards dur
ing June, July and August, 705 babies
were born and sixty-five died under
one year of age. In the Fifth, Tenth
and Twelfth wards, 618 babies were
born and seventy nine died under one
year of age. That is, of every 100
babies born in the First and Third
wards, 90 babies died before they
were one year old, while in the Fifth,
Tenth and Twelfth wards, of every
100 babies born 1871 babies died be-
fore they were one year old. The
work of the child hygiene division OF
the Department of Health is strictly
confined to the First and Third
wards. If our work could have been
extended to these latter wards and
the same results obtained as in the
First and Third wards, only 81.
babies would have died and ~.
babies would be alive today that
needlessly we're permitted to die dur

IF the same proportion OF babies
had died in the First and Third wards
as In the Fifth, Tenth and Twelfth
wards, twenty-three more babies
would have died.

births and 33S deaths under one year

before the age OF one year. II WI
separate from the city record thu
