I tried, laid her down, and aha started to groan, not groan like, just I don’t know. I can’t —It wasn’t a groan. Q —Kind of a groan? A—f«*, sir. V JnVrtnou, a Times rcpoiter, was sworn |Hut testify to a confession Bowin mad i to him in the couut> J;*i* directly after L't'trolwWf hi* arraiaunuuU 4tv Alva reorder'* court. Bowin’s story in his instance was substantially tho same. In the es sential details as the sweatbox confcs sion. The witness declared It was giv. en voluntarily. Following this testimony, court then Adjourned until Friday morning. How Confession Was Wormed From Bowin. How a veteran police official in the nerson of Chief of Detectives McDon nell. trained by long years of experi ence with criminals, struggled for days to break down the bulwark of ingenious falsehoods behind which Percy Bowin. the youthful slayer of Mrs. Cornelia Welch, had entrenched himself was told iu the statements read into the record of the Bowin trial by Stenographer H. R. Bliss, Wednesday. It wa& u desperate struggle, this battle of wits, and Increased In In terest as It neared Its climax. Game to the last, the boy bravely stood his ground, meeting every onslaught, buf feting every blow, until. Anally driven into a corner, ho was forced to run up the white flag. To the attentive listener, it seemed as .hough the lad might have suc ceeded had It not been for one thing, his Identification by Jeweler Otto Kersten as a youth who had shown him a diamond the morning after the mnrdcr and had asked Its value. Up to that time he had stood his ground manfully. Not a word had been said about the diamond and the police knew nothing of the Incident; and. in deed, it seemed that, but for this fatal blunder on the part of young Bowin. he might have been victorious in this battle of Intellects. It was the last stand before the final engagement, so to speak, when the reinforcements came to tne aid of the police. Bowin was brought up from bis lonely cell and In his pres ence, Jeweler Kersten told of the dia mond incident In Sykes' saloon. "You hear what this man says?*’ queried Capt. McDonald. “You show ed him a diamond in Sykes' saloon the morning after the murder." “Yes, I had a diamond," admitted Bowin. That was the beginning of the end. Mkkea A nether Admission. The first admission was quickly fol lowed by another, that the diamond had belonged to “Mother" Welch. Others followed in quick succession. He acknowledged that he had lied when he said Marie Hall gave him money on the train while they were on their way east. And what of the other diamond? Yes, there bad been two, he confessed, and they had been “Mother” Welch's earrings. He bad sold them In Buf falo for 925. How did be get them? Oh, yes, a man had given them to him—the man who killed Mother" Welch for pur roses of robbery had given him the gnoUa. and had then kicked him down stairs. When he came to his senses on the sidewalk he found both dia monds in his pockets. The man had given him but one, so he must have slipped the efthe* in his pocket as he lay unconscious. It was a story no one would believe. The boy stood alone and helpless with the ruins of his fortress at bis feet. And still he would not give up. “You can’t get me to say I killed her. for I didn’t he cried defiantly as he was led back to his cell. “Now the question is whether you lapped Mrs. Welch that night on the nut," said the captain during the ex amination. "On the nut? That is wbat is to be found out,” parried Bowin. “Y’ou turned up the next morning with enough money to buy a suit and overcoat, pay railroad fares, and as I told you before you were the very la it person we know of who talked to this woman. Now the Lord knows about that, but we don’t” “Yea, one thing He knows." “And the man that committed tho crime." Bible Brings Confession. Alone with his thoughts and a blble, >the gift of his sweetheart—the girl among ail others of his acquaintance whom he respected—he realised jhat he was trapped. In his despair he turned to the scriptures for comfort. Here, at last, he found the peace sot which Ms troubled soul «a* Ing. There was only one thing left to do, make a clean breast of it. Then came the full confession. Thue the battle was won for the p> lice. Throughout the thrilling recital sat Bowin, cool, unmoved, care free. Sometimes he actually laughed when the witness read some particularly clever remark he had made. But Just behind him sat his mother, a picture of ahgiitah and despair, her head bow ed and her hands to her eyes. Yet, wber it was all over she leaned for ward and thei* lips met in a lingering kiss Isxls— like Prtnfla*.

Furnished by Carneron Currie A C©.: There was hurried covering of shorts (n the active speculative Issues this morning, especially Reading and Union Pacific that forced sharp gains in the first few minutes and for a time gave the market an exceedingly strong tone. The sharp recovery was based on the news that the proposed new issue of Erie notes had been approved by the public service commission and a belief that the notes maturing op April 8 would he either extended or paid off in cash. The Erie notes were In demand at 91, and the first and second pre ferred stock* scored good advances.
