Says Man Who Confessed
Weiss Probably Will Be Re.
turned to Insane Asylum by
New Jersey Officials

Some doubt was cast yesterday upon
the confession of Rubin Weiss. an III
mate Of the insane asylum at Central
lslip, L. l., that he was the murderer
of eleven year-old Janette Lawrence
who was killed October last near her
home in Madison, n. J.
One of several officials who exam
med Weiss yesterday in Morristown,
\. j., said that Weiss was in Prov-
dence, X. l., the day the girl was killed
and had repudiated his "confession,' -
saying that hc had made it because it
was "a duty | owed to God"
1t was said that Weiss had told the
officials that he never had been in
Madison. but had read about the mur-
der until he was familiar with all the
circumstances. John Farley, boy who
saw stranger emerge from the cellar
of q ncighbor's home the day after the
murder. is said to have failed to rec
ognize Weiss as the man.
The examination of Weiss lasted for
several hours and no official statement
concerning it was made. He was taken
back to the Morris County Jail. 1t is
believed that his confession" has be-
come so dubious that he will not be
taken to Madison TO rchcarse the
crime

Couple Intended for Purchase

For many years Antonia Melcnchuk
and his wife had been putting away IS
gold pieces in the hope that some day
they would have enough to buy home.
The money was kept in a pouch which
Mrs. Melenchuk carried fastened TO her
right leg. 1T was safe in that pouch,
she and her husband agreed. The gold
coins totaled $795.
Yesterday Mrs. Melenchuk had call
ers at the apartment house at 1917

she is janitress. The entire ground
floor Of the building is occupied by
stores. The jantress and her husband,
who is a carpenter for the marlborough
Rapid Transit Company, have rooms
on the extreme west end of the build
ing.
Two men who came to Mrs. Melen-
chuk's door made inquiries about the
landlord and entered the dining ROOM
She offered to get the landlords ad-
dress for the men, and as she stepped
to table one of them cried: "Never
mind the landlord or his address. It's
money we want-your money"
Two revolvers were poked into Mrs.
Melenchuk's face. The gunner pro-
duced ball Of heavy twine and bound
her hand and foot. They then snatched
linen table cloth from a chiffonier
and used it to gag her. A search was
made Of her clothing and the pouch
was found, filled with bright gold coins.

they hurried out
Mrs. Melenchuk struggled for nearly
an hour to free herself. Finally, from
a window she attracted the attention Of
a passerby and was released.
She said that she and her husband
