BOASTS OF HIS CRIME; SHOWS HOW HE DID IT. ‘Prisoner Frankly Confesses He Is Glad He Murdered His Man and Expresses Only Regret that He Did Not Succeed in Exterminating Whole Family \ ‘Thet « man apparently sane should boast of a wanton murder committed by himself is almost incomprehensible. Buch a man is Charles Prescott, who shot and killed Patrick Whalen at No. 8% Court street, Brooklyn, last nigat nd wounded Whalen's son, Martin. (Prescott's room was an arsenal, it was learned to-day. Two.loaded bombs, six pistols and a varied collection of other weapons were found there. Prescott is an Anarchist. Prescott is frank in Confessing that fhe is glad he killed Whalen. He takes Pleasure in acting over and over again the manner of shooting his ¢wo enemies. He do€s not act like a man with « dis- eased mind. Experienced keeperé in Raymond Street Jail are of the opinion that the notoriety resulting from his otime 's what ae has hankered after tor year Was Known as “Dunn Prescott 1s of a murderous type. He is a powerful man, over six feet tall, with sneaky eyes and a brutal counte- nance, He says he js thirty-nine years old and was born in Massachusetts. In the house where the murder was com- mitted he was known as Dunn. He was more than willing to divcuse the crime with an Evening World re- porter to-day. A night of refreshing sleep and a good breakfast had c posed him after the excitement follo ing his arrest. “What surprises me," he said reflec- tively, “is how I plunked the old man five times in the heart. I never was a good shot with a pistol and I guess the Peason was that I never had a chance before to shoot at a human target. “Out In the woods near Hollis, L. I., 1 have fired thousands of shots at pleces of paper tacked to trees. I wanted to be @ dead shot, so I could defend myself, ecuuse people have always been getting me in trouble. Never Worked in Hin Life. “I coneider it the right of,every man to live as he pleases. I never worked in my lite. I had money always trom bequests. I lived in my own way and tried to satisfy no one but myself, but other people were always meddliitg in my business. ‘Those Whalens «ld and If T had a couple of more revolvers with me I'd have wiped out the whole tamtly. My aim was good after I planted thit first bullet in the old man’s heart. “I've known that this trouble was coming for years and that's why 1 tried to perfect myself in. target prac- tice. I tried all kinds of pistols, but 4 never was much good shooting at trees. However, I learned a lot about tire- arms and gunpowder and so on, I got ao that I was sure my pistol would never mias fire. I used to practice with a Knife on a dummy, too, so t * got in close quarters and co & gun I would still be protected, faid Whalens Attacked Him, “Some instinct told me ali day that the Whalens were coming after me, 1 wasn't surprised when they started tor me in the hall. The old man had a ctub and the-young man hada knife, ‘They meant to’ do me up. all right, but 1 was ready. “Istarted up the steps with a re- volver in such hand. Then they came after me, You know that: old advice about not shooting until you can see the whites of, thelr eyes? 1 worked on t principle, and they were pretty @\to me when I began to pump bul- Jets’ at them.” Here Prescott gave an imitation of how be started up the steps. He crouched low and gazed over his shoul- der,‘ His two hans were held in front of him si ius fingers were’ bent, as though he held revolvers, He walked across the floor of his cell with lon, ~ WRATHER—vair to-night and | NIGH EDITION | PRICE ONE pel?

He seized the bridles of the horses, but lost his hold on his saddle and fell under their feet. As they felt his body under taelr hoofs their fright was only increased. ‘The young women held on for their lives as the carriage rocked from side to side. Soon a turn in the road brought them in view of a steep embankment for’ which the horses were headed.

HENRY. MORSE 10 OTRIGKEN I MORGAN'S OFFIG President of the New York Shipbuilding Com- - pany Suffers a Stroke of Apoplexy in the Great Financier’s Banking Establishment and Dies Soon Afterward in Astor House, WAS HURRIED TO THE HOTEL IN A PRIVATE AMBULANCE. Physicians Had Been Summoned by Tele- — phone and were Waiting to Attend Phila- delphia Capitalist, but he was Dying Upon His Arrival There, and Soon Expired, * i Henry G. Morse, President of the New York Ship-Building Come pany, was stricken with apoplexy this afternoon in the office of J. Pier pont Morgan, and died an hour later in the Astor House. Mr. Morse’s home was in Philadelphia, at No. 2019 Walnut street. The plant of the New York Ship Building Company is Iocated at Cam= den, N. J., and is controlled by men prominent tn the Steel Trust, Min Morse came to New York to-day to settle some businees matters, which took him to Mr. Morgan's office. ie While in conference with some of Mr. Morgan's partners a stroke of apoplexy overwhelmed him, Telephone messages were sent to Dr. Walk ton’s sanitarium for a privete ambulance, and to the Astor House, where & room was engaged. Dr. Stark, of No. 24 State street, was called to attend the sick man. The ambulance was backed up at the Broad street entrance to the Mille Building. There is a communicating door between Mr. Morgan's private ~ffice and the first floor of the Mills Building. Mr, Morse was helped through this door and to the ambulance. At the Astor House the house physician was called in to assist Dr, Stark. Both agreed that nothing could be done. Mr, Morse died fifteen minutes after reaching the hotel. He was fifty-five years of age and portly. Although his business kept him out of New York he was well known in this city in commercial and financial circles. The company of which he was the head was organized |two years ago. The project of Mr. Morse was to make it the greatest ship- building concern on the Atlantic coast. Previous to his connection with the New York Ship-Building Company he was at the head of a similar con= lcern at Wilmirgton, Del. He was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Civil Engineers. NEW YORK STARTS 10 AID FLOOD SUFFERERS On motion of Alderman John T. McCall, the of /Ilermen, at its meeting this afternoon, adopted a resolution calling upon Mayor Low to appoint.a com- mittee of citizens to raise funds and supplics for’ the relief of the suflerers from the flocds at Kansas City and other Western j o nts. The Mayor wil probably name the committee to- morrow as instant action is needed. The Georgia Society, of New York, through its President and Secretary, urgeutly appeals to its members in Greater New York for contributions im aid of the sufferers by the tornado at Gainesville, Ga., June1, 1903. Gov. Terrell, of Georgia, has issued an appeal for assistance, and It ia to be hoped that the members of the society, as well as all Georgians im this vicinity, and others who desire to aid in the worthy cause, will forward such contributions at once to the office of the President of the society, Ja E.
