NEWARK, K. J.. . Feb. 7. Hazel
Herdman, an innkeeper's daughter,
confessed, after tjikinif a fatal dose of
poison late today," that It was she who
last night shot and killed Mrs. Har
riet Manning, wife of Charles I. Man
ning, a garage owner. She said, on her
deathbed in a hospital in Montclair,
that she had killed the woman in or
der that Manning: might marry her.
Manning, who hurried the young
woman to the hospital after she had
taken the poison, is the father, the
police say, of her year-old ua.Dy. ile
is tonight In the custody of the po
lice. He had been separated from his
wife for two years. His intimacy with
Miss Herdman caused tha estrange
ment. "I killed her because I loved her
husband," the dying girl said to the
doctors and nurses. "I asked her many
times to get a divorce from him so
I could marry him. She refused to
do It. She stood between him and me.
That's why I shot her."
"Take Care of Baby," Says Note.
Before she took the poison she wrote
a note to Manning, which he turned
over to the police. It read:
"This is my last letter. I am go
ing to commit suicide because of my
love for you. It was I who shot your
wife. Goodby. Take care of baby."
The young woman took the poison In
. candy store in Bloomfield, N. J
where she had gone with Manning
after they had been released early to
day from the custody of the police.
Although the authorities had suspected
Miss Herdman of the crime because of
her. intimacy with Manning, which
was known to the residents of Verona,
a small suburb where she lived, the
witnesses to the shooting, the mur
dered woman's mother, sister and
niece. were lart night unable to
Identify her as the veiled woman who
fired the fatal shots.
On reaching Bloomfleld, Miss Herd
man went to the home of her aunt,
loiter Manning called on her there and
asked her to accompany him to the
morgue to see his wife's body. This
the young woman refused to do, asking
Manning to go with her and visit their
baby.
Conple First Vlnlt Morgue.
The child was being supported by
Manning, the police say, in Montclair.
"I'm dying to see baby," the girl
aid.
Manning agreed to do this after see
ing his wife's body. Returning from
the morgue later in the morning, they
visited the baby and then Manning re
turned to his garage in Verona. On his
arrival he was told by telephone that
Miss Herdman had taken poison in
the candy shop. Manning returned and
found her in the apartmit of the
candymaker, suffering intensely from
the effects ot the poison and calling
out for him. She had entered the
candy shop, asked for a glass of water,
and swallowed eight tablets of a deadly
drug. Manning rushed her to the hos
pital. She died three hours later.
The authorities then took Manning
to police headquarters and questioned
him. They learned from other sources
that Manning's wife recently received
a legacy of J2400, to which he falls
heir. The' revolver with which the
girl committed the murder belonged,
they learned, to one of Manning's
chauffeurs. They said tonight that he
was not under arrest, but "detained."

ED RAND GIVES SCARE
BAKER COUNTY DEMOCRATS UPSET
BY SHERIFF'S POLITICAL. WAYS.
Official Declares He Has Never Retired
From Race for Nomination When He
Finds Depnty Seeks Honors.
BAKER. Or.; Feb. 7 (Special.) Ed
Rand. Sheriff ot" Baker County, has
thrown a scare into the Democratic
camp by declaring that he never has
retired from the race for ' the Demo
cratlc nomination for Sheriff of Baker
County, and insisting that he is still a
candidate. His announced retirement
recently has brought a deputy into the
race, and now Mr. Rand's Patti per
formance has upset everything and
caused no little worry in the ranks of
the Democrats.
Mr. Rand on his recent trio to Port
land received many assurances that the
feeling against Governor West is so
strong that any candidate who runs on
a platform opposed to his principles is
assured of victory. This is believed to
have influenced him in his decision.
Some Democrats, however, think the
Sheriff is "stalling" to keep a strong
Republican out of the race. Those who
do not hold to this view fear factional
ism in the party as the result of the
West-Copperfield episode, and Mr.
Rand's attitude is anything but pleas
ing to the leaders in local Democratic
politics.
