BOY CONFESSES MURDER Joseph Wood Admits Killing Nine Year-Old Ethel Nevins. Camden, N. J.,, Oct. 8. — Joseph | Wood, the 16-year-old prisoner, who was arrested on suspicion in connec- tion with the murder of $-year-old Ethel Nevins, whose body was found in a thicket not far from her home in East Camden on Saturday, made a confession, according to an official statement issued by Prosecutor Sco- vel, in which he admits having mur dered the child. Ethel Nevins disappeared from her _ home on Thursday of last week. Her mother, who is the wife of Henry Marx, a trolley car conductor, was in the habit of leaving the murdered child and a younger brother in charge of Wood while she went on shopping tours. The little girl was sent on an errand with her brother Thursday af- ternoon and failed to return home. The brother, LeRoy, said he had last seen her in a thicket near a cemetery not far from her home. The mutilated body of the child, who had been killed by being struck on the head with a BOOTH TO RETIRE | Eldest Bok May Aus Salvation | peoort That President Wants Him to rmy Leade Succeed Bonaparte.

The explosion was caused by the upsetting of a metal pot in the cupola, which contained 5000 pounds of molten metal ready for casting. An explosion followed so quickly that none of the workmen in the building had a chance to escape. Streams of the burning me tal poured out on the workmen, some of whom were engulfed and literally cooked. Twenty men near the cupola had every shred of clothing blown off by the force of the explosion. Many were buried under the wreckage and were not rescued for an hour after the catastrophe.

J., Oct. 7.—James Camm, aged 65 years, a night watch- man for a local basket factory, was found murdered at his post. His head had been crushed and nearly severed from his body. The police arrested Gilbert Notticks, a negro, aged 30 years, on suspicion of having com- mitted the crime. Notticks' clothing was blood-stained, and keys, which, it is said, have been identified as the property of the watchmen, were found in his pockets. The negro denied hav- ing murdered the watchman, but the authorities believe he went to the fac- tory to rob Camm, who received his pay from his employers Saturday Camm was apparently chopped to death with an axe which he found be- side the, body covered with blood Aged Man Chopped to Death With | Colleges & Schools. received injuries during a footbail game that caused his death.
