CONFESSION OF EBERHARD New York Man Who Killed His Aunt Tells of the Deed. CAPTURED AT PATERS0N. N. J. I.ured Woman to This Country and Murdered Her to Gt Money to Get Married Also Tried ta Kill Cousin. NEW YORK, July 24. Drawn back to the scene of hla crime by a force he could not resist, August Eberhard, selt confesscd murderer of his aunt, Mrs. Otlllle Eberhard, a Viennese widow, whom he lured to a lonely spot In New Jersey a few weeks ago and shot to death, was caught near Paterson. N. J., today and is a prisoner In the Hacken sack Jail. The reason Eberhard gave for com mitting the crime, was that he was In love with a Hackensack girl, and that he needed the money to marry her. Knowing that hla aunt had $2,600 he plotted to kill her. He says he also Intended to kill his pretty cousin, Otlllle Eberhard, to whom he was engaged, so nothing would stand In the way of the marriage of the Now York girl. The police have the name of the girl men tioned, and she will be brought hue to tell what she knows of the murder. Arrest of ISberhard. Eberhard was found lying on the lawn of a residence Just outside of Patterson. There was an ugly looking wound In his right leg which the murderer first fcald had been Inflicted by Italians who attacked him, but which he afterwards confessed was Inflicted by himself t,o aa to make the police believe he had been wounded on the night his aunt was killed. Morbid brooding over hla Inhu man crime had apparently unbalanced the mind of Eberhard, but he showed some of the cunning that he displayed tn the murder plot, when the police questioned him about the murder. Eberhard did not Immediately confess to the police. When placed under arrest he expressed sur prise that he should be suspected of the foul deed and told a most Ingenious story to account for his disappearance after the shooting of his aunt, to the effect that on the night of the murder he had tried to defend his aunt from an attack of a party of Italians. He aald he made hla .cousin run on ahead and then returned to help, but the murderers overpowered him after shooting him In the 'leg. Then he lost consciousness and remembered nothing until he came to his senses In the Preakness mountains. He gave a graphic description of hli alleged wanderings through the moun tains. Murderer Finally Weaken. The inquisitors did not believe this story and they kept Eberhard on the grill until he weakened and made a confession. The murderer eeemcd to feel relieved when hi related hla remarkable narrative of the murder. To the prosecutor to whom he Confessed he asked for a cigar xnd when given to him he smoked It as though he had no other cure In the world. Etverhard stated that hla alleged accomplice had no hand tn the killing of Mrs. Eberhurd. This man, who was one of Eherhard's friends, has fled to the west and the police are looking for him. They have Ms narre. Eberhard told the police that he had planned the murder two months ago. He wrot many letters to his aunt In his efforts to Induce her to aell her home In Germany and come to thle country to live. He even promised that he would marry her daughter Ot Utile and make a comfort able home for her here. Then Eberhard recounted the arrival of his aunt and hla cousin Ottlllle. of his finding rooms for them In a hotel la West Thirty-third street, of the trip to New Jersey and the fatal walk up to the rail road tracks. A blinding rainstorm came up while they were walking up the Susque hanna tracks and thls"a1ded the murderer In his purpose. Aa the two unsuspecting women were plodding along In front of him he drew his revolvr, took careful aim and fired. Mre. Eberhard fell at the first shot, but to make sure of her death the asrassln fired another bullet Into her body as It lay on the tracks. Then he went In pursuit of his cousin and tried to kill her. The poor girl believed he was trying to protect her and even up to yeatrday she had Insisted that sho did not believe her cousin had murdered her mother. Sho accounted for hla disappearance by the theory that he probably was shot by the murderers. Stolen Money Recovered. When Eberhard was found not a penny was found In his pocket. He said he burled the money he stolo from his aunt. He lei tho detectives to a tree near Little Falls nnd there dug up bills to the amount of $2,300, the amount stolen. Eberhard also burled his own pocketbook, containing S2C, so as to bear out his story the t he had been attacked by Italians and robbed. When Ottlllle Eberhard was told of her cousln'a confession she was astounded. She Is living in Hackersack and has been re ceiving the attentions of a young steward named Held, who was on the steamship on which she and her mother came to this country. It Is believed that she will marry Held as soon as the present trouble Is over. SLATE OF BADGER DEMOCRATS t'aucua of Part of Convention Names Ticket to Be Pushed at Primaries. MILWAUKEE. Wis..

GOVERNOR FOLK AT BELLEVUE Renovated Conscience, He Says, Has Accomplished Much. PUBLIC VICES ARE CURTAILED Awakened Sentiment Pursues Evil Doer Relentlessly Ignominy Moat Effective Punishment for Corporate Wrongs. An enthusiastically demonstrative audi ence which filled the big tent at the Belle vue Chautauqua Thursday evening heard Jo seph W. Folk, governor of Missouri, tell of the renovated conscience of America and the world. The speaker was Introduced by Senator Patrick of Bellevue and car ried his audience with him throughout the ninety minutes that he spoke. "We are witnessing a great new era In history, the era of the awakened con science," he said. "Out of the darkness of night the world Is rolling swiftly lr.to the light. Compare six years ago and today. Then bribery was looked on with indifference. Many men who practiced It had such blunted consciences that they hardly realized it was wrong. A member of the house of delegates In St. Louts confessed to me that he had been receiv ing bribes for twelve years. In apeaklng of another man he remarked that he was not honest. I asked what he meant and he told me the man was sent out after the bribe money and had been caught putting part of It down In his own pocket. 'And that la not honest,' he said. There Is some bribery today but It Is done un der cover. Men know they dare not let the public know of Its practice. Awakened Public Conscience. "A few years ago It was considered right that public service corporations should charge Just what they pleased for carrying freight and passengers. If they wanted to carry one man freo and charge another three cents a mile, that was no one's business but their own. It used to be said and with much truth that only the poor paid railroad fare. But the awakened conscience realized that the public service corporations must treat all alike, that they are a tax upon the public for certain privileges and that that tax can no more be remitted by one citlsen and charged agnlnst another than the tax on real or personal property can be charged against one properly owner and not against another. And today the railroads, charging everybody two cents a mile are making more money than they mado when they were carrying many free and charging all the rest three tent a mile. "But we should go a step farther. When a rate on any railroad la declared to be unjust the Interstate commtreo commission should have power, nut only to examine into that rate and determine whether It is unjust but also to fix the rate which should be legal for tha railroads to charge. "'We have unld to the professional lobbyist that he muKt stay out of the legislative hall; to the Insurance offi cial that he must not use Insurance funds for his private speculations; to the ship pers that they must not receive rebates. Btrlpea for Offenders. "The Btandard CHI fine, if the appellate court had held that It had to be paid, would have been paid shr ply by a slightly Increased price In Standard Oil product. The public would hive p&ld It. The law must he such a to tuke the rf fleers of a corporation and put stripes upon them. It la as foolish to attempt to parish a corpor ation as such as It would be to punish a chair with which a n-.ati struck another man over the head and killed him. Ad in. and Eve In the Garden of Eden might have pleaded not guilty to eating tha apri. They might have pleaded that the applo was eaten by the coiporatlon of which they were merely the agents and thus escaped punishment. Their corporation might have been driven out of the garden, but they could Immediately have formed another corporation of which they would be the agents and might then have gone on eutlng apples with irrpunlty and Im munity from that day to this. Vices Go, One by One, "The awakened eonsclfncs Is proceeding still farther. Although a few years ago the liquor Interests controlled much In politics, these same Interests dare not show themselves today. A few years ago we blotted out race track gambling In Mis souri. New York and Louisiana have fol lowed our example and before long this form of man deatroylnff vice will be blotted from every state. "Open gaming houses and grain and stock gambling ore also coming under the ban of the awakened public conscience. At this time the citizen who acta honestly In private life can do much to bring about the great reforms which are sweeping the country." Today la Temperance day and this Is the program: 2:30 p. m.
