HOW FISHER MET DEATH.
Woman's Confession May Clear I p Mys
tery Surrounding a Sioux City Crime.
Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 25. The local
authorities claim to have received a
confession from a woman -whose name
they will not yet make public, concern
ing the death of George Fisher. Ac
cording to her account Fisher was en
ticed Into a resort In Covington, across
the river from here, and drugged In or
der that his wallet, in which he carried
a considerable sum, might be taken
from him.
Being weak from drink. he succumbed
to the drug, and his body was sunk in
the river with a weight attached. The
action of the current worked the body
loose and brought it to the surface. A
search has been instituted for tne al
leged murderers, and their arrest is an
ticipated soon.

... ANN ARBOR SPUR MAP.
Michigan Stato Railroad-Crossing Hoard
Decides a l.ongDrnwn-Ont Contest.
Lansing, Mich., Dec. 25. The Ann
Arbor railroad company won before the
state railroad-crossing board today in
the long-drawn-out contest over tne ap
proval of the map of its proposed new
pur from Its main line by a direct route
to the village of Alma. Residents of the
Village of St. Louis are convinced that
When the new spur Is built the com
pany will abandon Its line to that vil
lage, and they opposed the approval of
the map for this reason. The board,
however, decided that the possible In
tentions of the company could have
nothing to do with the case. When a
move to abandon the line Is made It
will be time enough to act In that be
half. PEORIA BARBERS APPEAL.

Year's
GIRL CONFESSES PERJURY
She Placed Her Stepfather in Jail for
Ten Years.
SEVENTEEN MONTHS SERVED
Charged llim with Assault That She Might
Be Kid of Ills Interference
With tier 1'rccdom-She Now
Seeks Ills Release.
Trenton, N. J., Dec. 25. Another
"Barbara Aub," moved to repentance
by her own conscience, has told Oover
nor Werts that her stepfather, Charles
Atkiiisun, who is serving ten years in
the state prison for criminal assault, is
un innocent man and that she falsely
swore away his freedom.
The girl 1h Mamie Miller, now in the
State Industrial school. Her case is
even more aggravated than that of her
New York prototype, because her step
lather has served seventeen months of
his long sentence and has broken down
under his sufferings In the prison.
He bus been pleading with the court
ot pardons for a release, claiming that
he was an Innocent man. and his several
petitions show that he was. before his
Incarceration, a man of respectability
and of good repute among his neighbors
In the city of Camden, where he lived.
Fur an hour yesterday morning Mamie
Miller sat In the big reception room In
the state house, and she not only told
her story to the governor, but was
placed under oath, and her testimony
was taken by W. Holt Apgar, Supremo
Court commissioner. The stenographic
notes will go to the court of pardons on
Friday, when it is expected that the
man she has wronged will be Bet free.
The self-accused perjurer Is a young
woman, nineteen years old. She has a
heavy face, and. while not pretty, is not
bad looking. She came to the state
house under the guard of Mrs. McFad
den, matron of the Girls' Industrial
school, and was not allowed to make
any statement aside from that Bhe vol
unteered to the governor.
The Uirl's Story.
According to her own statement,
Mamie Miller, when but fourteen years
old. fell in with a set of men and women
In Camden who spent most of their time
at the Gloucester race track. She spent
nearly all her time from home. Her
Btepfather remonstrated with her, but
this only had the effect of Inciting her,
and her stepfather had her apprehend
ed and sent to the (State Industrial
school, which Is practically a reform
BChool for wayward and incorrigible
girls.
Making a pretense at repentance she
was released from the Institution and
again assumed control of her step
father's home. After a few months of
quiet life, she renewed her former as
sociations, and became a regular fixture
of the Gloucester grand stand. Her
father tried to curb her. and she re
sisted. Her companions encouraged
ht-r and when she was threatened with
a return to the school, It was then that
her companions devised a scheme for
her permanent freedom.
They Induced her to make a charge to
the police that her father had assaulted
her. He was promptly urrested.anu the
girl went on the stand and described
her alleged assault at her own home,
with a minuteness of detail that con
vinced the Jury. and Atkinson was found
guilty. In April, 1894, he was sentenced
to ten years at hard labor, and she was
returned to the Industrial school.
Her father steadily maintained that
he was Innocent, and from the state
prison he wrote a letter begging her to
'tell the truth and save him.
She pondered over this letter for some
time, and finally one Sunday afternoon,
after the chapel service, she took Mrs.
McFadden Into her confidence and con
fessed that her testimony was all false,
and that she had acted out of revenge
because her stepfather was interfering
with her freedom.
K. H. Cook, of Trenton, who devotes
much time to the Instltulon, and Is one
of Its trustees, was told the story, and
he in turn told the Rev. George Mad
dork, who Is also a trustee and the
chaplain of the state prison, and the
girl repeated her confession to them.
Wrote to the Court of Pardons.
She was Induced to write a letter to
the Court of Pardons in support of her
stepfather's petition that he was an In
nocent man, and In this letter she said
that the knowledge that he was suffer
ing for a crime he never committed had
caused her much worriment, and she
was unable to sleep.
Governor Werts and Judge Tallman,
of Gloucester county, were appointed
by the court of pardons to further In
vestigate her statement, and today was
fixed for the private hearing of the girl.
The hearing was given In secret. The
girl left the room looking brighter, and
in passing out said to the matron that
she was glad it was all over.
Charles Atkinson is a man of about
forty-eight years. When Informed
about his stepdaughter's confession, he
said he was not surprised that she had
made the statement, because she had
promised to do so several weeks ago.
"My trial In the Camden county court
was a peculiar one," he said. "My ar
rest was made without any warning
and my wife secured John Wartman,
who was recently disbarred, as my
counsel. My trial was called the last
day of the term of court," and there
seemed to he a desire to conclude the
business of the term, and my lawyer
let the case go to the Jury without
examining any of my witnesses.
"He said he had an engagement the
next day, and could not attend court.
So he only examined me, and let the
case go to the jury. I had thirteen wit
nesses In court, but none were called
Mrs. Atkinson, the girl's mother was
there to testify, but she was not allowed
to proceed, and I was convicted on the
unsubstantlajjestlmony of Mamie."

A Witty Chief Justice.
Two capital retorts which are well
worth remembering are attributed to the
venerable chief justice of the New York
court of common pleas, Hon. Charles P.
Daly. At one time a delicate question as
to the construction of a statute was dis
cussed before htm, and after elaborate
arguments on each side, the chief Jus
tice decided the question In open court,
giving his reasons In a few well-timed re
marks which caused a Jull In the court
room.
The silence was speedily broken by the
successful attorney, who Mood up and
said, with an air of patronizing approval:
"May It lease your honor, 1, for one,
agree with you entirely."
The chief Justice, with a twinkle In his
eye which betokened hi enjoyment of the
joke, but a perfectly grave face, quietly
removed his glasses, and amid a. breath
less stillness said: "I have, counselor, gen
erally found In my experience that the
successful party agrees with the court."
Upon anothr occasion a young attorney
was trying to convince the chief justice
that he did not know the law.
The Judge listened to the youqg man's
harangue with courteous patience for a
Ion time, but at last he became weary.
"My young friend," he said, with an
Ironical smile, "before you are as old as
I am you wHI have learned that It is about
as well to read Chesterfield as Black
atone." YeuthsCojnpenlon.. .. .
