The Greeks have also arrested and
persecuted a large number of Alba

RECALL* CONFESSION.
Wolfaohin Kay* He Did Nol Murder
Anna Schumacher.
Repudiating hla statements male
to the Philadelphia police Friday.
Jacob Wolfsohn Monday denied that
he was guilty of the murder of Anna
Catherine Schumacher in the ceme
tery at Rochester. N. Y., four years
ago. When closely questions by Dis
trict Attorney Barrett, of Rochester,
N. Y., Wolfsohn broke down and said
he had confessed to the murder be
cause he wanted to die and could not
bring himself to commit suicide. “I
want to take back my confession. It
is not true that I killed the girl and
I can prove my Innocence," he ex
claimed, hysterically. “You can cut
my throat, hang me or do whatever
you care, but I do not want to die
with the record of a murderer.”
“My life has been an unhappy
one,” continued Wolfsohn. “I can
not return to Russia because I left
there to escape military service. My
wife divorced me here. I hoped to
end my troubles by being electrocut
ed.” District Attorney Barrett, be
fore leaving for Rochester, said he
would make further investigations
before determining whether he would
ask for requsition for Wolfsohn. He
said: “It has been proved that the
prisoner worked near the cemetery
where the crime was committed, but
his description of the clothing worn
b? the girl does not correspond with
*ho facts. I am not yet satisfied he is
the murderer ”

INSURANCE HIS MOTIVE
LATEST POLICE THEORY
8CHMIDT-MURET CASE.
IN
i/
Inspector Fmirot Honrs Evident
Doctor Said to Have Received Il
legal Offer of Deal.
Evidence that Hans Schmidt, the
confessed murderer of Anna Aumul-
ler, and “Dr.” Ernest Muret, his dent
ist friend, planned a campaign of
murder for the purpose of collecting
life insurance money reached the
New York police Monday. It tended
to explain the blank death certificates
found In Schmidt’s room. The evi
dence came from a physician who told
Inspector Faurot of the detective bu
reau that Schmidt and Muret, a short
time ago, tried to arrange with him
to issue death certificates In the event
of the “sudden death” of persons just
insured.
“I can not divulge at this time the
identity of the physician,” said the
inspector. "If the story told us by
him is true the fact stands out big
and Edack that Father Schmidt and
Dr. Muret had a plan whereby they
would collect Insurance. I am happy
to state that the physician flatly de
clined to listen to their proposal.”
Inspector Faurot has learned, he
said, that the dentist, at one time in
his life figured as an insurance brok
er. The inspector said that with the
assistance of the Chirico police bo
w.is trying to find if there was any

the dis; utes that have arisen between
them in the last hundred years Is
testimony enough that all disputes
between nations may be settled in
like manner if tho spirit of reason

of the questions settled by America
and England were unusually impor

and discussing the matters at issue in
a quiet and sensible way have settled
all of them without the shedding of a
single drop of blood, and without dis

a cotemporary reproduced on its edi
torial page three separate editorial
paragraphs from its columns without
giving credit therefor. The editorial
paragraphs that appear in every Issue
of the News are so bright and to the

his own. He ought not to have done
it, but the fair editor of the News
must remember that imitation is the
sincerest flattery.
