In criticising the faults and

At the outset let me make plain

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 12.-De-
tails of the confession of Augusta
Pasquale, the Crank" today made
public by Major Lynn G. Adams of
the State Police. The confession
revealed how the Crank" had mur-
dered, robbed, and finally had kid
naped the Coughlin baby in his
checkered career of crime until he
was apprehended in the kidnapping
case.
Pasquale revealed the fact that he
had smothered the Coughlin baby
I and had thrown in into the Schuyl-
kill River at a spot about two miles
from the CouEhlin home. 1t was
the shriIl cry of the infant, he said,
sounding into the still night air
that first attracted the attention OF
the master criminal as he walked
by the Coughlin house. and led to
the later abduction of 13-months
old Blakely.
Body Weight Found.

An expert diver was employed to
recover the baby's body from the
waters of the Schuylkill.
Admits Numbering Woman.
The. confession of Pasquale un-
covered the fact that he was the
murderer of Mrs. Rose fisherman,
who was found slain in her bed at
sos North Eighth street on the
morning of June l. A heavy piece
of slate was used to dispatch the
woman. who awoke while PasQuale
was robbing her. Pasquale said

When the continued search of the
river failed to reveal the body of
the child the theory was advanced
that the body of the child had dis
integrated and would never be
found. c. TownIey Lazelere. a
friend Of the Coughlin family, and
Capt Samuel Gerhardt, of the State
police, today went out to consult
| with experts at the University of
Pennsylvania on that supposition.
There they were told that the
body of 13-months' old child
would probably disappear in tn.
time that has elapsed since the kid
mapping of the child on June 2 and
the present date.
All Hope Abandoned.
I'VE never expect to recover the
body of Blakely Coughlin," said
Mai Lazalere following his confer.
ence with the physicians at the uni
versity. IF what l have been told
is true, the body of Blakely has
disappeared long ago"
All hope of recovering the body OF

London, Oct. IL. - Sir George
Paish, the noted economist. presid-
ing at today's session of the Lon
don Economic Conference. declared
the first need toward the recon
struction of Europe was revision
of the Versailles treaty. He also
emphasized the necessity of wiping
of Europe's debts toward America
as well as the entente's obligations
to Britain.
Sir Georges theme was Recon
ciliation as a Means of Achieving
Reconstruction" He said: There
should be first of all a revision of
the peace treaty and reconciliation
of the nations. The statesmen of
the world should withdraw all po-
litical impediments which prevent
the restoration Of Europe's econom-
ic position. 1t is my hope that Great
Britain will take up this role of
conciliation.l We must help bury
that feeling of hatred with which
all were animated during the war.
Sir George told Ahe delegates the
league of nations should be lifted
to a position in which 1t would
be potent enough to raise the credit
Of the wzsld.
He added he knew for a fact that
President Wilson came to Europe
with the object of forgiving the en-
tente nations their debts to Amer
lea, but undergoing a change of
mind and spirit went back with
