FORGED TO CONFESS
Apaches of Pan's Make Mere
Boy a Scapegoat.
DRAMATIC COURT SCENE'
Lad Accused of Killing Two Italians,
Points Cut Actual Murderers
Krom Witness Maud.
Arrests Follow.
PARIS, June 20. (Special.) A dra
matic incident took place in the Seine
Assize Court the other day, when a
young boy of 17. aocusfd of having
murdered two Italians, was brought up
for trial. At the preliminary hearing
the third degree methods of the police
combined with the threats of the gang
of apaches to which lie belonged had
frightened him into confessing a crime
he never committed, and when lie ap
peared in court the two rca murderers
were in the" room arranging to kill him
in case he should peach on them.
The crime was committed about two
months ago at Aubervillieis. Two
Italian workmen had been stabbed and
were found lying in the street, at a
place where many crimes had been
committed before',-and which is popu
uarly known as the "Ca rrefour du
crime." One oi them was already dead
and the other was dying, but before lie
expired he was able to tell the police
that the crime had been committed by
four young fellows, who hud attacked
them as they were leaving a cute, and
tried to rob them of their pay.
Played on Ilis Ignorance.
The police soon afterward arrested
the four young fellows, and among
these was the boy who was brougiit up
for rial. lie was the youngest of the
gang, and had taken no real part in
the crime. The other three, however,
had persuaded him that because of his
age he would not be sentenced to
death, the heaviest punishment that
could be inflicted upon him being only
an order to shut him up in a house of
correction until he was 21.
Being at the same time threatened
that he would be killed if he gaVe evi
dence that would convict the others, he
made up his mind to confess that he
alone had stabbed the Italians.
The other three prisoners were, in
consequence, released, and wore mere
ly summoned to appear as witnesses.
At the trial, however, they refused to
appear, and the police had to compel
them to appear in court.
After being in prison for sonie weeks
the young lad who hail pleaded guilty
retracted his confession and wrote let
ter after letter asserting his Innocence,
but the court refused to take notice'
until the suspicion was aroused by the
actions of the other three, and when
one of them was examined he got
tangled up and made contradictory
statements.
Reasserts Ills Innocence.
The prisoner again took occasion to
assert his innocence, and pointed to the
two fellows in the court room who
were pala with rage, and who had
threatened him with death. These were
the real murderers.
The dramatic scene came to a cli
max when the witness in the box said
that he knew all about the crime, anil
that he would like to tell the truth.
"Why are you - afraid?" the Judge
asked. "Because if I tell tiie truth I
shall be killed." he replied.
The public prosecutor at onre pro
posed that the court should take his
evidence in private, with the result
that instantly afterward the other two
young fellows who had been called as
witnesses were arrested, just as they
attempted to escaie from the courtroom.
"TOY SHOP" BRIGHT PLAY
Lines Give Kvery Opportunity to the
Young Actors.
The' rehearsals of the "Toy Shop." to
be given under the auspices of the In
stitute Club of the People's Institute
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week at the Heilig. have developed much
talent among the young folks. The plot
of the opera is full of bright situations
and calculated to produce not only
amusement, but hearty appreciation of
the music and fairy-like effects.
A beautiful group is composed of the
clock and minute fairies, all in effective
costumes of red. The parts of the dork
fairies are taken by the Misses Zeta
Holllster, Beulah Cadwell, Genevieve But
terfield and Clara Howell, all pupils of
Mrs. Walter Reed.' The minute fairies
are small girls. Dr. Pillsly (Phelps Car
son) and the Rag Doll (Edwin Shevlln
furnish some fun. and the Johnny Doll
(George Biles) contributes some clever
comedy work.
The Teddy Bear stunt, which was writ
ten especialy for the Portland perform
ance, will be very funny. The seats are
selling fast and the indications are for a
packed house Monday night.
BOERS IN SLAVE TRADE
Carry on Traffic In Portuguese Ter
ritory of Angola.
LJSBC:, June 2n (Special.) Major
Rocades, of the Portuguese army, who
has Just returned here after commanding
a victorious expedition against the Gua
mada tribes, has made some very remark
able disclosures concerning tdavery car
ried on by the Boers . in Angola. He as
serts that the Boers, who have a sepa
rate colony to then4elves. continually
make excursions to the Interior in alli
ance with neighboring native tribes and
capture all negroes they can lay their
hands on. They describe their prisoners
as "spoils of war."
The natives are brought down to the
coast by the Boers and are there sold to
the Portuguese "native reeruiting sta
tions" at prices ransliii from ?70 to SloO
per head. It is evident that the Portu
guese authorities are connlvant, for they
allow the Boers to carry on the slave
traffic on Portuguese territory, and even
buy the natives from them. It seems
that thousands of natives are sold an
nually, the Boera making large proflu.
