ATLANTA, March 2L Alex Carr, who
was -conjvicted- of the murder of Captain H.
O. King, whom he shot; dowji "in cold
blood iii; the Siree-s of Atlanta, .and; who
has for months acted as an abjectly insind
man, deceiving the experts on insanity as
well as the public, broke down yd ;terday
afternoon, and sending for the sheriff con
fessed he had been playing the part all
along. Carr is under .sentence to hiang for
his crime nex't Friday, and ho declared he
threw off the disguise of insanity- because
ileath of Annie McGrathj who was found
dead in a' house oh Girard avenue last
I Monday evening.having been dead twenty-
' four hours. The fact ha been clearly es-
tablishod that the lip3 and mouth of the
prisoner, Langdon, had been burned by
some powerful drug, as was the lips ana
j mouth of tlA dead girl. It is known, too,
that Miss McGrath had been engaged to
marry Fred Fitzsimmons, a west unester
jeweler, but that the engagement had been
broken oil. Miss McGrath became ac
quainted with Fitzsimmons at Atlantic
City, where she wa? boarding at a cottage
with Langdon, pas.-ing as his niece. While
accepting gifts, and money from her
t wcaitny admirer sne was reauy in love
with. and engaged to Fitzsimmons. After
going to the Girard avenue house as Lang
don's reputed vif" it is t alleged, she ef
fected a reconciliation' with Fitzsimmons,
and they decided to wed June 24 next.
- i ne theory lias now. been advanced that
Miss McGrath went to the Girard avenuo
house the last time with the intention that
that should lie. her final assignation with
Langdon. She, according to the theory,
told Langdon of her approaching mar
riage. It is given out by the police that if
murder was committed Langdon became
desperate at the1 thought' of losing his
young imunorita and made up hs mind
that both should die sooner than hk should
live to see her become the wife of another
niam With this idea, it is stated, he prob
ably poisoned the girl and then tried to
end his own life.
On the other hand, some of those who
have studied the cae carefully are of the
opinion that as the result of a jealous
quarrel Miss McGrath attempted to poison
Langdon while he slept and afterward ad
ministered to herself thie chloroform or
whatever drug was used.
Philadelphia, March
of Annie McGratih, took
from the home of her parents on Gratz
street. Only relatives and a; few Intimate
friends were admitted to the house, though
there was a large crowd outside. The grief
of the : parents was extremely pathetic.
Standing by the side of his dead child Mr.
McGrath' declared impressively: "My
daughter was murdered.' Meantime-the
police officials profess to shave discovered
no motive for the crime, though Miss 31 c
Grath's friends assert that the motive is
plainly apparent in the jealousy of an old
man who was about to be deserted by his
youthful mistress.

Ring, a practicing physician and druggist,
and one of the leading citizens of Elkin,
Surrey county, and several members of his

tempt of tho doctor's son, 16 years old, to
. poisqn his father by putting arsenic .'in a
prescription which the young man a clerk
"in the drug store was given to fill. The
son's excuse for his action was that he
