Dr. Jackson Campbell, Tombs Physician, Who’ Has Made a Study of Criminals and Their Subterfuges, Says the Slayer of Anna Pul-| itzer Is Not Demented, Young Man Tells an Amazing Story of the Crime and Declares He Had an Accomplice Named “C. S. Eiling,” Who Was the Real Murderer of the Woman. Dr. Jackson Campbell, official physician at the Tombs, watched Murderer William Hooper Young in a cell in the Hospital Ward of the prison for three hours to-day. He! said, after careful scrutiny : “T have dealt with many hundreds of prisoners, and am ina position to judge their wiles and their ways. I have studied Young carefully, and I am convinced that he is not insane— that he 1s simply shamming.’”’ The confession of Young after his arrival here to-day from Derby, Conn., where he was captured, to the effect that he had an accomplice, is not credited by the police. His own lawyer refuses to indorse it. HE SEEKS A DEFENSE. It is thought that his bringing in the name of Charles Simpsou Eiling into the murder of Anna Pulitzer was with the purpose of establishing a defense. There may be such a man, but that he was implicated in this murder is not credited. There is much to disprove the story told by Young, which is believed by the police to have been concocted by him when he found that he was trapped. ) In the first place ne says he and Eiling met the woman by ap- pointment. ‘This is disproved by the fact that the woman left her home to make purchases at a bakery, that she made the purchases and was on the way home when Young met her. Young says Eiling accompanied him and the weman to the Clarence. A cabman has been found who drove Young and the woman to the place. There was no other man. HE STOPPED DISMEMBERMENT. Young says that when he tried to cut up the body the stench was so) bau he could not continue. The woman had not been dead, by his own| statement, more than an hour when he tried to dismember the body, so this statement is obviously untrue, Decomposition had scarcely set in when the body was found in the canal in New Jersey. What object Ejling coul* have had in gagging the woman and killing her is not plain. Young got her diamonds and jewelry. The diamonds he sold for $8.50, he tela Capt. Titus. They were worth $150. He does not re- member to whom h2 sold the stones. In his first statement he sai@ that he left New York with Elling and that they walked to Rrewsters together, Again he said he had not seen Elling after the night of the murder, ‘ The fact that he expressed the trunk in which he had carried the body to “C, 8. Hiling, Chicago,” and not a figment of Young's imagination! Lawyer Hart, who is representing Young, said this afternoon that he hoped there wag such a person as Eiling and that the police would find him, but he would not say that ho believed there was an Eiling. * NO ONE HAS SEEN “EILING,”’ “All [can say is that I don't know whether there fs any such a man or not,” said Mr. Hart, “I think the most the statement does is to stamp my client as undoubtedly insane." No one can be founé about the Clarence who ever saw a man such as is described by Young as Elling about the place. Capt. Schmittberger says Biling is a myth “Biling will never be found, because he does not exist,” said Capt, Schmittherger. “He bar been conjured up by Young for a defense. “I am glad we have got Young and his story. Toc much credit cannot . be given the newspapers, It was the publicity in this case that led to the man’s capture, although } will not say that he would not have been cap- tured witfiou: it.” THE THEORY OF “C. S. EILING.” “] think 1 ean explain how Young came to think of the name of Charles | ' S. Biling for his mythical accomplice,” Capt. Schmittberger continued. “His giving the name of Bert Edwards when arrested in Derby shows that his mind reverts to people he has known, and he uses their names indiscrimi- nately when he gets into trouble. He had known Bert Edwards out west. “While in Hoboken he knew a girl named Ebling, The name of the father of the girl was Charles 8. Ebling. When he came to ship the trunk to Chicago he hac to think of a name, ‘The name of Ebling came to his mind and he determined to use it, but in his agitation he wrote it Hiling. “When arrested he remembered about shipping the trunk. He had read the Sunday papers that it bad been found, and with a shrewdness char-, leads to the belief that Eiling is a real personage |’ A CENT A Large Deaiers To-Day Quote Sit FOR COAL NOW. eee the Price at $11.50 to $20 a Ton—Supply Scarce.

Ind., Sept. 23.—The President went to St. Vincent's Hopital at three o'clock this afternoon and an operation was performed on hie leg. Secretary Cortelyou stys this was no more seflous than the re- moval of an abcens, but as rest is necessary after the operation, so that further complications do not set in, the President will start to-night from Indianapolis for Waehington. Secretary of War Elihu Root, who hurried to Buffalo when McKinley Was shot a year ago, was with President Hoosevelt to-day when the Operation was decided upon. He was at the side of the operating table. Mr. Roosevelt came from the operating table in excellent snirits and con- dition, the surgeons said. ALU VEILED IN SECRECY. ‘The utmost secredy was observed in regard to the physician's decision that an operation was necessary. There was no intimation given on the Presidential train to-day that the programme at Indianapolis or the itlentary for the next two weeks was to be abandoned. The first hint that some change in plans had been made was when the President delivered at Logansport in full his speech on the tariff, which it had been understood was to be given in Indianapolis. There was a consultation of the physicians—Dr. Lung and Dr. Rich- ardson—on the train early this morning before the start was made from Detroit. The President was on his feet yesterday for several hours, He made two long speeches and stood bareheaded in his carriage as it was driven} along the line of parade after he hadr reviewed the marchers from the re-| viewing stand, MADE CAREFUL EXAMINATION, He was tired when he reached the Hotel Cadillac, and the banquet later| in the evening kept him on his feet for nearly forty minutes. He con:-| plained of pain In his leg when he reached his car In the Unton Depot, The two physicians made a careful examination of the leg, which has! been under treatment ever since the accident at Pittsfield. An abscess had| form |] as the result of his hadlong plunge from his carriage and this, it} was thought, was getting ready to heal. It was found early this morning that the sure had become an ugly one and required surgical attention lest it communicate with the tendons of the | leg. When Secretury Root hoarded the train with Senator Beveridge at | Logansport tis morning he was advised of the condition of affairs, He | talked with Di. Lung and Dr. Richardson and then telegraphed to Indian- | apolls to have Dr, Cook and Dr. Oliver, recognized as at the head of the | medical prcfeasion here, to meet them. INSISTED ON SPEAKING FIRST. Ther» was a cecret consultation in which all the physicians participated | and the President was told ihat an operation at once must be had.

CASE NOT SERIOUS. The physicians say that the case is not in any way serious and that there is no danger whatever. He was especially rigorous and emphatic in his gestures when making his speech in Monument Square. He stood on the balcony of the Columbia — Club, the crowds stretching before him in all directions. The promen-| ade at the base of the massive sokdlers’ and sailors’ monument alone held nearly three thouraad, It was 2.30 o'clock when the President bowed and retired from the balcony and the cheering crowds began to move away to take up positions. along the line of parade to the station. Meridian street and the other thor-} oughfares along which the carriages haa pacsed and were to pass on their return were roped at the ourb and a big force of policemen was on guard. | ACCIDENT AT PITTSFIELD.
