ANOTHER is CONVICTED
Irving King Alleged to Have Con-
fessed to Double
Murder.
Special Dispatc TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OSSINING. n. Y. August 11.-News
was received by long distance tele-
phone at Sing Sing shortly after last
midnight that Irving King had con-
fessed to the murder of Charles
Phelps and Miss Wilcott.
The confession was made in the Jail
at Little Valley. in which King had
been lodged two davs ago on a techni-
cal charge of disorderly conduct.
King had been suspected Of the
double murder for some time, but the
authorities at Little Valley thought
until a few days ago that it would be
impossible to fasten the crime upon
him.
For this crime Charles 8. Stielow
was tried and condemned to death.
Four dates have been set for his exc
cution. Upon every occasion the con-
demned man was saved by a stay of
execution.
King. 1t is alleged, confessed that he
intended to rob Phelps in the night,
but awoke him by mistake. Then
he shot him and followed the crime
with the murder of Miss Wilcott.
