Murphy's confession followed a se vers examination at the hands of Coanty Prosecutor Atkinson,: Detec tive Parker, Sheriff Jordan and. Re corder Ziegler, of Riverside, N. J, Wtten Murohv had vcomnleted his Story, it was . said that while he had not? gone into details, the authorities were satisfied that no other person was implicated.

When I learned that Herman Fisher was with the "girl last Saturday night decided to kill him. When I left my home I took the Suit case and gun with me. I used the suit case to conceal myself from persons passing the cornfield before Fisher arrived - "I knew - Fisher would through the . jQornfieid on bis way home, because he usually had taken ithat route. .' -"For - more than an hour I lav in ambCfsh waiUhg for the opportunity! to Bhoot him. When he finally ap peared I fired .two- loads of shoe into his body and killed- him instantly "After firing the shots I ran across the fields toward my home. Within a short distance of my home I met George Fisher. Although I carried the gun by my side, George failed to notice it. George was so excited as a' result of having seen a suspicious character and so worried "over the safety of Herman that he failed to notice the gun. , "I walked into the house and placed' the gun in my room. Then got a revolver and accompanied George on the trip to find Herman. Murphy is a married man, but has not lived with . his wife for more than a year. Several weeks ago he met Miss Hilda Wilhelm, a sister of Ida Wilhelm, and immediately be came attentive to her. When Fisher learned of this from his sweetheart he ' informed her that Murphy was married and the father of a five-year-old child and upon the next visit of Murphy to the farmhouse in the woods he was informed that his presence there was unwelcome and was told to call no more. .Murphy immediately suspected Herman Fisher of having betrayed his double life. From the day he was turned away from the Wilhelm home he shadowed the young man, evidently seeking an opportunity for revenge. . - ' 5 The ? inquest into the death of Fisher will be held this afternoon at the Town Hall, Riverside. HThe body of Herman Fisher will be buried today, following services at his home and at tbe Asbury Meth odist Episcopal Church. . i;.-.

Tl T By Decision of Court Slayer of Stan ford White Gets $160,773 from Father's Estate. Pittsburg, Pa., July 16. After a six months'' legal battle, Harry K. Thaw, in. a court decision yesterday was awarded the income from his father's estate, denied him by . the trustees since he was adjudged In sane for slaying Stanford White. By the decision Thaw gets $160, 773. : Judge James W. Over held that Thaw is entitled to the money despite the fact that alienists declare he is suffering from an exaggerated sense of self which would make It unwise to commit any large sums of money Into his personal charge. The fight for the income began last Jan uary when Thaw filed his petition. The Fidelity Title and Trust Com pany, of Pittsburg, trustees, took ex ception. The court allowed the peti tion. The trust company then was permitted to send alienists to ex amine Thaw, claiming he was insane. Thaw refused to submit to an exam ination, it is said. The demurrer to this motion, filed by Thaw's attor neys was sustained yesterday. ' FIFTEEN FIREMEN ARE V, OVERCOME BY SMOKE V . (By United Press.) ; New York; July 16.

When the grand Jury resumed its- , deliberations yesterday Sheriff Pet- tit declared that an indictment against Mrs.' Carman, who is already, in jail charged with the murder, isv certain. Dr. Carman was on hand to testi fy for the second time. The first witness before the grand jury yesterday was Harry de Beau. Who testified that he saw Mrs. Bai ley enter 'Dr. Carman's office -about 7:15 p. m. on. June 30th. He said he wondered why she was going there, as he had never known that she was the. physician's patient. While de Beau was before the jury Sheriff Pettit received a letter mail ed in Rochester, N.

These witnesses ,are wanted to- . support the story of the negro maid in the Carman -household, Cecilia Coleman, who told the grand jury that immediately after the shot wast fired through the window of Dr. Car man's office in Freeport, L. L, on the night. of June 30th Mrs. Carman ran into the kitchen "all excited and out. of breath." ' - ' Although the, prosecutor believes -that he has enough evidence to se cure an indictment of Mrs. Carman, charging her with murder in the first . degree, he is working hard to secure any new evidence that it is possible to get. - ' . The chief points of the State's , case against. Mrs. Carman are these; - 1. Mrs. Carman admitted that she had installed a dictagraph in . her husband's office because she learned : he was too attentive to some of his -women patients. . . i 2.
