Herera, who Is a cigar manufactur- tarer, and tke superintendent of the apartment house where he lives, con cluded to go for a walk about 8:30 f. ui.. he told the police, and just as ke had closed the door of his room he saw a parcel about the site and shape or a shoe box, wrapped In or- glnan brown paper, on the floor of the hall two feet from his door. He picked It up and without thinKuig or troubling to see If it con tained a name or address, unlocked his duor and entered the apartment. His wife and viiss Kughtman. a boar ei, wire seated at the dining room table where he had left them. He tossed the package on the table anil **' claimed "Some one evident ly lo-t a parcel In the hall '' Mia. Herrera at once seized It, tore otT the string and was unfolding the paper wiapper when there was s terrific explosion. Mrs. Hsrrera was virtually blown to pieces and was hurled against the Dutch wood man tel at her back. Miss Kughtman waa hurled five leet against a wall. She had been so curiously Impatient to see what waa in the parcel that her right hand waa extended In tentative saeistunce to Mrs Herrera In opening the box All the fingers of that hand were carried away.

So jHiwerful was the explosion, which la supposed to have been caus ed by nitro-glycertne, that tbe paper la which the box was wrapped, was ground to s powder. A quantity of whitish-yellow dust was found on what left of the dining table Hits of tbe box were found la the room and showed conclusively that it was an ordinary shoe box, but ao trace of .ae firm for which it had been made waa discovered.

Th * o.m dining lable was broken Into a hun dred bits. Pictures were pullet from the walls and the carpet w is cut into snips, which were curled up as If they had tried to roll themselves back into a coil In which they had been held for a lone time. The thunderous explosion not only rocked the five story apartment house, but shook the neighborhood. The sh ock was so great that the ten ants of the building for several min utes after the explosion remained In their rooms, terrified. Then there was a wild stampede. Some of the panic-stricken men and women dashed to the fire-escapes, dragging and carrying their children, many of whom were plucked from tfcelr cribs. Others tumbled Into the balls, screaming that the house was Afire. Most of the families thought the house might fall down and Insisted on’ going to the street and Joining their neighbors. By this time sever al thousand persons were jammed In the street and the police had to draw lines and drive the crowd back half a block. The throng was so congested that U* e bluecoats had to make a lane through It for the ambulance to pass. Dr. Muth. who responded to the call, said Mrs. Herrera had bees killed In stantly. Then he took her husband and Miss Fughtman to the hospital. He said the woman might not live out the night.

Mr. Robins has perhaps the moat undesirable Job of any ptraou in lue diale and me peculiarity about this la that he serves abaolutely without pay. He haa killed nine men for the State and has never received one cent for his services. One of these men was a boyhood friend, but that did not matter; he killed him for nothing. It seems that when the bill was passed by the last legislature abol ishing hanging aa the means of in flicting capital punishment and Insti tuting the electric chair, no provision was made for the salary of the man who turns on the current and looks after the details Thus, during the fart year nine men have been electro cuted, all by Mr. Robins, and he has been paid nothing for It. He makes Ills living by renting hia bloodhounds to various parties. "I have been doing that killing at ihe pen,'* Mr. Robins said, "but I am going to quit it unless there Is some pay coming to me. Not. that I mind (’(/ing the killing ao much but you 1 now It la a hard 'oh and it Is worth some money.

BOMB THAI lULUIltD IN LARGE APPARTMENT HOUSE COMMIT OIHEK CRIMtS Amazing AdmiMsion of Discharged Apartment House Employee, Holv- 1 ing Several Mysterious Murders and Attempt to Kill Causes Police to Doubt Prisoner's Sanity. Joun E'aul Farrell, a discharged apartment house janitor of New York confessed Tuesday that he had kill ed Mrs. Bernard Herrera Suuda.. night by means of a bomb he had made, and that, b> similar means, he had caused the death of Mrs. Heleu Taylor a year ago and attempted the Hie of Judge Otto A. Rosalsky, of the Court of General Sessions, last March. Farrell was held Tuesday night on a charge of murder for the killing of Mrs. Herrera. Although the police are convinced the man is mentally unbalanced. Deputy Commiseioner Dougherty Tuesday night said detectives he had sent out In numbers to investigate the case have learned enough to lead them to believe Farrell's story is true in the essentials, though false in many details. Every time Farrell had a grievance he seems to have settled the busi- im 3* with a bomb. The trouble with Mrs. Herrera, he said, was that she bad "fired ' him from his job as jan itor ami hired a negro in his place. He wanted to get Judge Rosalsky out of the way biK-aus** the Jurist had sentenced Joseph Harvey, a "pal ", to servo 39 years In Sing Bing for stealing |16 worth of Jewelry. Farrell told the police he helped Harvey rob Peter Johnson's home In the Bronx In 11*08. but easily escap ed. Why Farrell wanted to kill trie Tayl or woman, sometimes known rt* (Dace Walker, waa more than the police could fathom. • In his early story Farrell said she was hla daugh ter and he sk>w h**r because she had g< ne wrong Later he recanted this and said she was an Intimate friend, but gave no reason for killing her He also told Mr Ixiugherty why snd by whom ‘ Kid ’ Walker was shot down and slain In 1 887 on the Bow ery. He said Walker betrayed the Taylor woman and a woman named I^trange killed him In revenge Having dlapoaed of the bomb mys teries, Farrell conf**aaed, the police aa#«rt. to have perpetrated a aerlea of robberies In Brooklyn, and the robbery of the Johnson home Har vey and Harry Hartman, hla compan ions In the latter exploit, were sen tenced to fling Sing for 39 years and 9 years, respectively. Farrell had never been suspected for complicity in the crime. Beald>-a this, Mr. Dougherty said Farrell served 10 years In the New Jersey Peniten tiary, at Trenton, for burglary and other crimes. As John McDermott, alias "Liver pool Ja(k. ' Farrell's picture la In the rogues' gallery In Jersey City, ae ro ding to information brought to Dougherty. Barrel's desire to con- 'oss to so many crimes led Mr Dougherty to doubt his sanity. He .mmcdlatrly set about verifying the story. While detectives were bu«) at this the Janitor kept two 3t*mog nphers busy taking down freiih do- ta'ls of his protracted story.

The bomb Farrell placed opposite Herrera’s door he made In hia room, he said, according to the same for mula used in manufacturing tbe Ro»- alsky and Taylor Infernal machines. The materials consisted of Iron pipe, springs, paper, two boxes, a steel button and a percussion cap. The explosive in each case was nitro glycerine. He gave the police a spec imen of bis handy work by construct ing a dummy bomb and demonstrat ing it as he told of his crimes. The Taylor and Rosalsky bombs were made In the cellar of a house In East 14th street. Farrell said, where he was employed aa an elevator op erator. The superintendent of the building recalled Tuesday afternoon that Farrell need to lobk himself In a cellar at times and became en raged If disturbed.
