awlin’s Stepfather Makes a
Partial Confession.
West Chester, Pa., June 25.—Irwin
Lewis, stepfather of 5-year-old Mary
Newlin, whose body was found buried
in a pit in the barnyard at her home,
near here, on Friday, was committed
to prison, following an inquest in the
case, on a formal charge of murder.
Before the inquest Lewis made a par-
tial confession to District Attorney
MacElree, in which he said that the
child fell from the top of a wagon
shed and was killed. He said he saw
her fall and when he went to pick her
up she was dead. He feared he might
be accused of killing her and he tied a
burlap bag over her head, fastened a
cord about her neck and buried her In
the pit in the barnyard, where he cov-
ered the body over with refuse.
At the inquest, which was held at
Avondale, a small village near the
Lewis home, U. S. Gifford, the coro-
ner's physician, who made a post mor-
tem examination of the body, testified
that death was caused by suffocation
or asphyxiation, and there was noth-
ing in the condition of the body to
show that the child had sustained such
injuries as to cause death. District
Attorney MacElree then repeated the
partial confession of Lewis, and the
jury returned a verdict that the child
came to her death at the hands of Ir-
win Lewis.
Mr. MacElree testified as follows:
“On the Friday evening of the find:
ing of the body I questioned Lewis for
hours. At 10 o'clock I said to him:
‘Now, Lewis, I'm going to go. I'll give
vou one last chance. I can’t promise
you anything.’
“Then he told me that when he went
home to feed the chickens at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon he saw little Mary on
the second floor of the wagon shed
She fell off, he said, and when he ran
over to her she was dead.
“He then admitted burying her and
ended by saying: ‘My God, what would
my wife and mother and sister think
of what I've said?
“Phe case is pretty bad against
me, isn’t it?" 1 said: ‘Yes, Lewis, it is
pretty bad.’
“1 secured the admission from
Lewis that he buried the body when }
convinced him that 1 had a witness
who had seen him hoe the refuse over
the shallow grave. He then told me
that he had buried the little girl, but
tried to make me believe that he:
death had been accidental, insisting
that he had not murdered her.”
Immediately after the inquest Lewis
was taken before Justice of the Peace
Lipp, where a formal case was made
out against the accused, and he was
committed to prison, being brought!
here.
The condition of the body when
found and the testimony of the coro
ner's physician leave little room for
doubt, according to the district attor
ney, that the child was buried alive
and was smothered in the grave.
CONFESSES IN TERROR
Prisoner Tells Officials He Murderec
Girl Who Rejected Him,
Pottsville, Pa., June 22.—Stricken
with fear by a bolt of lightning which
struck in the yard of the county prison
here, Charles Wawsen, of Shenandoah,
arrested on the charge of killing his
girl sweetheart of 16 years, cowered
in his cell pleading for mercy, and
when taken to the prison office con
fessed to the officials that he had shot
the girl because she had refused his
suit. He also confessed that $400 had
been hidden by him, and that his story
of being robbed of $800 was untrue
Wawsen has been shamming insanity
gince his arrest, and his case had
been postponed until September for
the purpose of endeavoring to effect a
cure. He is acting perfectly sane, but
is in terror of being hung for his
crime.
Killed By Fall of Arc Light.
Scranton, Pa., June 24.—While Wil
liam Baton and his 4-year-old son, of
Duryea, were walking along the main
street of Duryea, near here, an arc
light fell from a bracket just as they
were passing under it. Baton was
holding the hand of his son at the time
and he put up the other to ward off
the blow. His hand came into contact
with a live wire, and the current of
2300 volts passed through his body tc
that of the son. Both fell unconscious
to the ground and the child died with
in 20 minutes,
BOAR VANQUISHES BEAR
| foruin Attacks Pigs and Is Beaten Off
After a Furious Fight.
Altoona, Pa., June 24.—A desperate
battle between a hungry bear on one
side and a sow and boar on the other,
took place at the farm of Josiah
Henchey, three miles north of here.
With a litter of pigs the old sow was
rooting in a field, when bruin ambled
down the mountain side and calmly
seized, killed and proceeded to dine
on one of the piggies. The little fel
low’s squeals alarmed the mother, and
she rushed to the protection of her
family.
Bruin and the sow closed in, with
much squealing, grunting and snarl
ing. Wallowing in a nearby mud pud-
dle was a boar. Rousing himself when
he heard his mate's squeals for assist.
ance, he went after the bear most
viciously, gouging out pleces of fur and
gkin, and ripping his sides open with
his tusks. The bear fought back fero
clously, all its savagery being aroused
at the dual attack.
Attracted by the unusual noises,
Farmer Henchey snatched up his shot.
gun, and at the first opportunity let
go both barrels. The bear received
the charge in the breast, but kept on
fighting. Returning to the house to re:
load his gun, Henchey came back to
find the boar the victor, for the bear,
wounded and still hungry, had made
tracks back to the mountains.
