Paul, the Camden bank runner, robbed him of s4eooo in cash and buried the body in the Jetsey pines near Tabernacle. The money was buried in Evergreen cemetery in Camden and most of it has been recovered, the officials stated tonight.

Although neither mar was aware the other had confessed the officials state. their stories were almost identical on important points. Details of the con fessions were not made public, but Ellis Parker, Burlington county detective, said the two men had carefully planned, but "clumsily carried out the job.' Rob- bery was the motive, he asserted, and no one but James and Schuck was lmph- cated
 Paul was slain in Camden, according to Schuck's confession as given out by Parker on October g. The detective did not say who did the actual killing
 The messenger, who was taking about $4o, GO in cash and s30,000 in checks and securities from the Broadway Trustfo pany of Camden to Philadelphia oank, was picked up by James, the confessions revealed, according to Parker, at Second and Arch streets and offered ride to the ferries. A block further on Schuck got in the automobile, which had the back curtains down. Near the ferry, where there was considerable noise, Paul was struck on the head This rendered him unconscious, Parker said SchuclS de- clared in his story, but did not kill him. He was carried several blocks before there was opportunity to finish the job. Paul was then beaten over the head until his skull was crushed.
 Schuck and James then drove to Taber- nacle, according to the alleged confess sions, and threw the body in a small stream of water on the outskirts of the town They then returned to Camden and buried most of the money in Ever green cemetery. Pauls body was left in the water until october II, when the two men made another trip to the pine belt and buried it in the shallow grave where it was found October 16 by hunters.

COUNTRY SICK OF
 POLITICAL ROWS,
 DECLARES M 'ADOO
Says People Want Domestic as Well as international Peace and Restoration of
 Cooperation
By Associnted Press

New York, November 7.-William q. McAdoo. former Secretary of the Treas ury, in statement tonight commenting on the result of the national election. declared that what ,he country needs is subsistence of. the passions and hatreds engendepsd by the war and the partisan political appeals that have followed
 Tt is of no value to try to explain the 2, aases of the democratic defeat Novem-
 s.s.r the statement said. The over
 . S hing republican victory has given ' party the presidency and both
 ses of the Congress. After March 1, ext. it wilt have entire responsibility or the policies and administration or lhe government and cannot evade or ex- cuse it's failure to perform the promises it has made to tho country. lider our political system 1t is always better to have one party control at Washington than to have divided authority
 What the country hnpcratlVely needs now is subsidence of the passions and hatreds engendered by the war and the partisan political appeals that have fol- lowed. The country Is sick of political squabbles and controversies. It wants domestic as we'll as international peace, and it wants restoration of that fine spirit of cooperation which maoe Amer lea invncible in war. We face domeS- tic and international problems of great gravity. The only way to solve them ia through cooperation. The highest duty Of the leaders or both parties is there fore to promote better feeling among all classes of people, to retain rom unworthy appeals to class ana racial prejudices and to bring to bear upon our serious problems that dispassionate and intelligent consideration through which alone there is promise of gem uine pubic serivice.
 The democratic party has suffered a severe but not a disastrous defeat. It is far from dead; 1t is not even seriously wounded. Throughout our history oTer- whelming political reverses have 5een followed by extraordinary political re- coYeries So long as the democratic party is true to it's mission or seryic9 to the common people it will live. What we must do now is to build and strengthen the party organization, not in the inter- est of any individual group or faction, but for the cause of democracy itseil, and above all, for service os country, It will not be difficult through propef leadership and organization to reinspire party enthusiasm, to restore party unity, to maintain party ideals and principles and to regain popular confidence. To this task democratic leaders must now devote themselves with unsalfisnf pa triotism and courage.
