SEARCHING SEWER MANHOLES “FOR CUFF BUTTONS. After the arraignment, Deputy Po- Mee Commisioner Dougherty, Inspector Hughes and a couple of detectives took Geidel and McGrane in an automobile to make a search for the sewer man- con: hole opening into which Geldel fessed he had thrown @ Duttons, taken from his >rostra' tim. ‘The buttons, an open-faced gold watoh, which was pawned in a Bowery @hop and recovered by the police, and 06.7% in cash made up the entire booty that rewarded the murderer, The watch Fas pawnca for M19 by McGren ays thet Geldel gave him $1 for his had thrown the buttons Into a fn one of the “Forty” streets, be Broadway and Eighth avenue, The oM- Clals decided to take the pair in quest @f the spot.

Geidel passed a restions and sleepless night in his cell at Police JHendquarters, (ne was entirely exhausted when the Jong grilling of the early morning was over and he had finally signed his oon- fession, It was necessary to half carry him to his cell, ¥ n he reached it he Was In a state bordering on collapee.

This request, re- Deated over and over again in hyatert- | Cal sobbing, made up the burden of his communications during the dark watch. | Breakfast was taken to him at 8,90 o'clock. He barely sipped the co: that was brought to him and did not taste the food on the tray. STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO AN. OTHER MURDERER, When Geldel was brought from his cell and taken to the morning “line-up” at which all of the prisoners of the night are passed in review before the assem: bled detectives, Inspector Hughes oalled attention to the remarkable resemblance between the murderer and young Albert Wolter, who is under sentence of death for the murder of Ruth Wheeler, the iit: tie stenographer who was murdered and burned while seeking employment as a stenographet The inspector sald that the character- istics of the two young men were 80] much allke as to be worthy of note. Get | dei was nervous and pale as he was halt led, half carried before the detectives. Digging into the past life of the Gelde! boy, Commisstoner Dougherty found that he came from Farmington, Conn., where his widowed mother and sister Feslde. At fourteen years of ago he weui to Harticrd as a belly at tie Heubelin Hotel, where he remained until @ year and @ halt ago, when he came to New York. He was employed as a bellboy at the Hotel Iroquois until a few days aince, when he went to Rector’s Hotel in the ame capacity, “I stole the money for my mother,” the boy whined to Deputy Commis- sioner Dougherty. “What about buying that suit of clothes with it, and what about the THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, amen we vent tt ™) Chief of Steel Trust Federal Probers Who Is Digging tor Facts About Panic | | the occupants of the Kane fat, from what they learned suspicion was directed toward young Geldel, who oo- cupled a room there with Patrick M Grane, another bellboy, twenty-three years old.

It was a love of finery, for gaudy at- tire that led the young bellboy to try robbery, which ended in murder. He haé known his victim at the Iroquois ae e liberal tipper and believed he had “money in every pocket.’ Following the foppishness in the matter of clothing, a reporter for The Evening World to-day found the tailor to whom Geldel had taken his bloody clothing after the crime, and from him Got @ Olinching statement of the facts attending the bringing of the sult worn by the murderer to the little tailor shop that the stains of crime might be re- moved. A. Jason of No, #8 West Forty-sev- enth street conducts a tailor shop at thet pumber. His assistant is Samuel Greeghaus, who lives at No, 2 Monroe street. Greenhaus to-day told this story of the part the little shop had in the story of Mr. Jackson's murde “Gael first came our place tree or four months a-o.

Yet within fifteen hours from the time the murder was discov- ered the mystery was clear, the criminal in a cell, his signed confession in the prosecutor's hands Geldel's capture was due to a bottle of chloroform he had taken with him to use in quieting the man he intended to rob, The bottle had a druggist's label on it, but Geidel destroyed the label 20 that only two letters and a ekull and crosabones—the grim emblems of death were decipherable, Hut he didn't know that under the top label there was a second one, and through this second label he was traced, FOUND SECOND LABEL ON THE CHLOROFORM BOTTLE, Detective Van Twisten took the bottle to Police Headquarters and with « scalpel discovered a label under the 4 faced one, Tho defaced piece showed only the letters “F, H." and the skull and cross bones, After the bloody fin- ser prints had been photographed for use in tracing the assassin, Van Twisten removed the outer label and found un- der it one with the name “F, H, P, lardy, Grant and Centre avenues, Kast Newark, on it, and the words, “Holland Gin, Reporting his discovery to Second Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, Van Twisten went to Jersey to trace the bottle, Druggist Pallardy'’s records showed that a few days ago Mrs, Jos Phine Kane of No, 217 Wert Fiftieth street had purchased an ounce and a halt of chloroform in the store. whioh had been put into @ four-ounce bottle that had held Holland gin, When Kane bought the drug she told Pallardy that she wanted it to kill & dog that had been hurt.

With several detectives, Dougherty hurried to the flat and walked In without ceremony. Geldel and McGrane were sented on the bed in their room, when the dete: tives entered. Mr. and Mrs. Kane were then ques- toned about chlorofo: Bhe admitted that she had purchased a bottle of chloroform last week, and asked whero 1t was, wald she had left it in the bath- room, Shq was taken to the bathroom, but could not find the bottle. Appa ently pugaled for a few minutes, she at last remarked: ‘Paul Geidel must have taken it.” Why do you think so?” ehe was ked. ‘Well, the other day we were talking about chloroform and Paul asked me if there was enough in the bottle to killa man. I told him I supposed there wa! because the druggist had told me there Was enough to kill several dog: This admission from Mrs. Kane set- tled the case in Commissioner Dough- erty's mind, and, putting the four in a taxicab, he took them to Police Head- quarters, A short time later Dougherty appeared with the confession. QEIDEL SWEARS TO THE GON. FESSION HE MAD Geldel's story was read to him after he ad completed it, and Dougherty, who !s a notary public, made him swear to it.

Geldel's confession out of the wa: Dougherty and the District-Attorney turned thelr attention to McGrane, who admitted he had pawned Jackson's watch for Geldel after he had seen G del’s bloodstained clothes and been told that Geldel probably had killed a man. After the eo had been cleared up Sommisisoner Dougherty spoke in tha highest terma of the work done by the men, expecially complimenting Detect! Van Twisten, who really cleared up the entire mystery. Dougherty asked the names of all men engaged in the case who are not first-grade deiectives, and announced that all would be promoted to the first grade at once as a reward, Three men—Owens, Btapletoa and Mor- rell—will get an advance in grade and DAY as 4 result.

Among Them Is $309,000 Measure for Forty-Seventh Regiment Armory in Brooklyn. ALBANY, July 2%.—Thirty-eight bills met death to-day when Gov. Dix re- fused to sign them for various reasons. Appropriation bills were disapproved because of the condition of the St. ‘. finances, several measures legalizing bond issues of different towns because a new law passed this year permits the Supreme Court to legalize questionable bond issues and thus avold such special legislation, and numerous other meas- ry beca he deemed them unwise or carelessly drawn. The more important measures vetoed were: Senator Black—Appropriating $399,000 for the Forty-seventh Regiment armory in Brooklyn, Senator Burd—Estabiishing » commis. sion to investigate “loan sharks. Senator Hewitt—Increasing $he com- pensation of the Auburn Prison guards, Senator Saxe—Apprepriating 85,000 for the statutory consolidation commission to simplify the civil practice in the courts, Senator Grady—Appropriating $10,000 to index the session laws, Senator O'Brie Appropriating $12,600 to investigate the question of utillaing sewage for fertilizer, Senator Sanner—Appropriating $15,000 for the purchase by the State of the home and farm of Gen, Nicholas Herki- | mer in Herkimer County. | Senator Sage—Appropriating $50,000 for | an addition to the State Normal College | at Albany.

The members present to-day were Congressmen Stanley, Sterling, Young, Danforth, Beall, Bartlett and McGille- cuddy. Mr. Hanna sald that the purchase of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company Was bought in November, 1905, by the syndicate of which he became a man- ager because they thought it was a bargain, The supply of tron ore in sight in the United States was known to be limited, Toe T.
