BEDFORD ~ BABY BOGUS, ; Widow of the Former New ' Yorker Confesses in Lon- don Court that She Palmed Off a Bogus Child on Relatives, DENIES INTENDED FRAUD. She Contends that She Merely Altered Birth Records to Save the Child from Illegitimacy, but Real Mother Is Unknown. (Special Cable tc Tho Evening World.) Weprright, 1903, by the Press Publishing Com- pany, New York World.) LONDON, May %.—Mrs. Gunning 8. Bedford confessed to-day in Bow Street Court that she had palmed off a baby mot her ‘own upon her late husband and that she caused the birth record of the Tottenham Court District of St. Pancras parish to be falsified. ®he denied that she did this for the purpose of securing for the child a hare in the estate of her husband, but sald ft was done to protect the legitimacy of the little one out of friend- gniv for the mother. The identity of the mother was not revealed in court Mrs. Bedford's cou gel weld that the woman was maki. her own living. In’ view of the full con- tession and explanation made by Mrs Bedford the Magitsrate was lenient, al- fowing her to go after the payment of @ fine of $% and costs. The usual pin- alty for altering a birth record is from one to seven years’ Imprisonment. Evidence of F: Hat Mrs, Bedford insisted that she ‘Was innocent the prosecution was pre- pared to show conclusively that a fraud had been committed, ‘There was evidence to show that no birth had taken place at No. 16 Woburn place for years; that Mrs, Bedford advertised for a child for adoption the day she reached London from Parls, and that the baby was secured from Isleworth, Marshall King, K. C., spoke for Mrs. Bedford. He said that under the French law Mr. and Mrs. Redford could have adopted the child as their legitimate off- spring, and that this was Mr. Bedford's desire, Upon being released Mrs. Bedford ap- piled for her check-book and other prop- erty seized by the police. Everything was returned to her but a loaded revol- ver. She demanded it in an excited manner. “I want It," she said, “I have always carried \t since my husband and myself} were attacked.” The revolver was held by the author(- tes against Mrs. Bedford's vehement protestations. When she found it would not be returned she announced that she would buy another, She said she would retain t baby as her adopted daughter. Her Friends Surprised, The arrest of Mrs, Bedford as she stepped off the Umbria at Liverpool a week ago to-day caused no less surprise than her confession. She was quite well known in the American colonies of this city ani Paris, It had been rumored for some tme that the New York heirs of Mr. Bodfori had @ movement on foot to prove that the baby Mrs. Bed- ford alleged.was the heir to her hus- bund’s estate waz not her own. "Gunning 8, Bedford was the nephew of the late Judge Gunning Suydam Bed. ford, of New York, and heir to a tate valued at between $400,000 and 00, Jt was provided in the bequest that upon bis death ive fortune should go to his ohildren, but tha: if he died without issue it should be divided among the other heirs. Mr, Bedford when young was attack- ed with consumpuon and spent most of his time in Swiizeriand aud Paris. In the Jatier city he met Bugenie Middle- ton, said to have come originally trom Washington, Lb. C. They were married in Washington in January, 1901, return- ing at once to Paris. Fraudulent Birth Record, Toward the end of 102 Mr. Bedt became very weak. His physicians ce that he could live but a short time, arly in December Mrs. Bedford, with er confidential maid, Catherine Thoma: left Paris and came to this city, She caused it to bo recorded shat she had been delivered of a female child on Deo, 12, 1902, at No. 18 Woburn piace. his child she took beck with’ ner ts "ar: Mr Bedford never saw th @ied'on Bev. 17.

Miss Sarah Campbell, Who Was with the Victim at the Time He Was Shot by the Assassin, Can Give No Clue Miss Sarah Campbell, a pretty, rosy- cheeked young woman, who it was thought would be able to clear up the mystery of the shocting of John Heffer- man on the lawn of the Ardsley Casino last night, was interrogated to-day by Corone: Russell. The young woman was unable to throw any light on rhe case. One of the physicians who attended the dying man in the Dobbs Ferry Hos- pital says ho asked Hefferman if he knew who had shot him, and Heffor- man made a reply that sounded as if he had never seen him before. Whether or\not Hefferman was concealing any- thing may never be known, For hours after the killing a search- ing party, led by Edwin Gould, Mr. Trowbridge and E. H. Lane, hunted through the woods about Ardsley for some trace of the murderer, but wiln- out success, At the time of the tragedy the millionaires were dining in the olub- house, and the shots that killed Hefter- man started them from thelr tables, Hunt for the Slayer. As soon as Hefferman was found ying on the lawn and it was knowa he had been shot the search for his as- sallant was begun. While Dr. George F, Shrady, who was present, gave his attention to the injured man, the other persons formed a posse. Mr, Gould's yacht Alleen was at anchor off Ardsley, and he called most of | w to join the millionaires in the | Until after midnight many of the men remained out working in par-| ties of two and three and being gulded | In the direction they were to follow and | the location of one another by the/ whistle of the boatswain of Mr. Gould's yacht. | After hours of search the hunt was| called off for the night.

Mins Campbell's Story, When Coroner Russell took charge of the case to-day he questioned Miss Campbell. She 1s employed as a cook by Prof. John M, Firmin. Her story differed slightly from that told last night. She sald that while seated on the bench a man came across the tracks near the station and shouted to Heffer- man to throw up his hands, The men clinched and she ran. When she heard the shots she turned and saw Heffer- man on the ground and the man over him with a revolver. Hofferman sald to one of the phy- siclans of the hospital that he was talking to Miss Campbell when the murderer appeared and ordered him to hold up his hands, He refueed and at- tempted to grapple with the fellow ana the man fired. He gripped the man and revelved a second shot. After this, he said, he remembered nothing until he was revived on the way to the hospital, He said he had never seen the man before. The finding of the hat and the tact that it is the same kind as that worn commit an assault upon a child a fow miles away from the scene of the mur- der the police belleve Indicates that the man, Frances Zeicek, fifteen years old, of Irvington, was walking down the rall- roud track when she met a man who grabbed her and attempted to draw hei into & clon of woods.

She gave the police a description of the man and when the hat picked up on the ground to her she said the man wore a like tt. MAYOR NAMES TWO NEW MAGISTRATES. Seward Baker and Alfred E.
