KUBAL'S CONFESSION
With a few of the rough eU^ smoothed off, Kubal's" statement, made to District Attorney Week.-i, who had prevlou.sly warned him that lh< statement would bo used again-st hirn WUH as follows:
"Tuesday afternoon 1 saw some boys p^t¦\^f^( cherries on a (ree over the feurc ifear t|;e house. I i.tvua paaiUitg ahuig thl'l)^X)p tbe road from west ftf^outh. I |)ulle<) down a branch and picked some ni>'se|f. Then I saw an automobile drhe in^ t^ yard, it bad two men in it. One asked if anybody was in the house and tt?e boys said nobud>' was in there. The auto went sway and 1 asked the boys wliu was llytpg in the house. They said one rich lady. Then I went uut to the heifch by the trolley cur and sat. down. \Vl|en I was sitting there on the l)eii<'h Tgot to thinking 1 was a poor man and cojiildn't get a job and didn't have any¬ thing in <ljic house to eat. Then I start¬ etl |o lleiillli of Kettiiig iiioney from peo¬ ple wjio had a whole lot uf it. I then thought I wotild come next morning and look ' around. Ne.xt morning I put a small chisel in my pocket and went to this house. 1 iiiteuded to go to this house ttf get some nitAicy aiid took the c^lfiel^ sf> as to have soinething to pro¬ tect ipyse^. I iiatl IIO thought to kill the womwn, but tfaouglit I would scare
ber aad get agg^a mrney.
I was tbere BhggA tHA tbe lntt ttpe. I go to doof and rfof. The wsfwui coofe to tbe door and ask what I gmAte4. I toM her mc aifd my brother Ibad aome money m0 waited to ||^y vnpariy. I toU her we bad about $2$.«HM. fflie said huw much money 4-an >ou put tm to buy tt. I said we could put all of it on, (hat we bad some more money besideo that bat needed It ia bosincss. I told her my nasae ti^ Kieboias 8(e#iiis snd was hi the radbitor and fender business on Hilton avenue.
"Hhc said she would* like to sell the whole place and she wanted M5,0M. i s»id that was very well if my brother liked the ,piaee. Mhe saU all right, if ytHir. bn»(her likes it you can buy tbat bouse. I don't care who buys it. I said perhaps i would bring my brother and wife to see house.
"I went to house again about 1140 o'clock. 1 ssid I forgot to look to see if sfeaini or hot water heat. I went all over rooms again and went down and saw furnace. I thought aame thitog as be¬ fore but didn't ifare do H- Then 1 went out and set on the bench again. I hH myself on the head and said to myself P was fool for not doing what I thoiighl as I had a good chance. I smoked clga relte and slept a Uttle. Woke up aboul one o'clttck. I thought nobody wat- around and would try again.
"The third time I rbig bell and lady come to door. I said tny hrother wants to know how much tlie house cost tu build and bow much land there was. 8he .said all right I can write it for you. She went in dining room and got foim- taln pen, and wrote on paper. I wrote tiMi and signed my name and brothers (Here Kubal wrote rm a piece of paper the "Nicholas .Steffliis" for District .It¬ lorney Weeks as he had suid he had done it for Mrs. Bartlett and said thst he tore it up and threw It away when fae got outsidel.
"Hhe opened up bed (evidently fold¬ ing bed in dining room) and .said she would like to sell it with the house.
"She started towards front door to open door for me and I thought that she thought Ihat t was staying too long. U'lien near front door I grabbed her hy the chest and said I want to talk H little .something to you and say what 1 came for. It was a bluff about c'«)m- ing to see house. I'm poor man. I want you to Kive me s<mie money, about S.'iOO will do. .She suid site would call police nnd creamed. I caught her hy the mouth and she fought terribly. I hit Iier (Ml the head with my fist (inolionliig with his li.st towards head) and she drop- pe«l to Ibe ftotir. I said you got to be¬ have .vourself. She was then in tlie hall about tive i<r 'six feet from the d<Kir. .She got up and caught me by * * * unci squeezed ine so much I was weakened. .She riislied towards dining ro<Mn, still holding and walking wiih m,e.
"Then I beat her on the head willi my iisls maybe ten or fifteen times, and slie fell. Then she began lu scream again, and let j;o of me. ClTils struggle occur¬ red in library) I brought Iter to dining room. She wus still struggling and try¬ ing to grab me. f said .lesus. its bsrd to kill iM-ople; ami ti— I>— what am 1 s;oiiig to do.

"She still tried fo grab me and she bad bloody huiids because she had be- KUII to bleed. Iler head whs all swell¬ ing up ami 1 know she was going lo die an.vwa.v and made up my mind to kill her.

with his head on the bench. When he awoke It was aboul 1 o'clock. Hc hit himself on the head, he told the po¬ lice, and said to himself what a fool he was not to take advantagu uf the good chance he had.
For the third time he went fo the house and this time told Mrs. Kartletl that his brother wanted to know what the house cost lo build and how much land there was. Mrs. Bartlett said sho would write It for him and got her c'ountuin pen. She wrote for him and lie wrote his name and his alleged brother's on a piece of paper, using the name Steflln.
Hc lingered longer than nccessitry,
is evident the woman thought, for Kubal says she walked toward the loor, as if to show him out. He foi lowed her to the door, and as she opened It, he kicked it shut, grabbed her by the clothes on the chest and told her the story about buying prop¬ erty was all bluff, that he wanted money and demanded thut she give hini $500.
Struggle Begins
Mrs. Bartlett. hc says, screamed and said she would call the police. Then he threw his hand over her inuuth and told her to behave, that nil he wanted was money. She struggled anil he hit her, knocking her down. She Itot up, grabbed him and held him .so tight, he .said, that he began to be weak. .Still holding him, she r.-ui into the library. Then he struck her with hi.s fl.st ten or fifteen times, he .said, and she .sank lo tho floor-
Kulial .says he then carried her to the dining room. It was there, .said he, thut he attempted the foul a.ssault.
Though nearly unconscious, the woman still tried to fight. Ijlor head wa.s' swelling, he .said. He thought she would die and didn't wrfnt to see her suffer. He fiulled from his pocket ,a chisel whii'h hc h'ld brought with him for protection In car-e of need, and jabbed her with It on tho hand, five or six times, ho said. Then .she was tiuiot.
Covered tiruesome .Sight
(Uilng lo the kitchen, he got twu ruf^.s and a towel, covered the body, and aft¬ er lenioving the gold ring from the woman's himd, he went about the hou.se searching for money and valu¬ ables. L'pstaiis, he found two gold W'iitches and $1.50 in ca.sh. These he stole, walked lo fhe front door, and. .seeing no one about, walked through the garden, a small strip of woods on the property, across Fulton avenuo ami into a patch of woods on the north side of Fulton avenue.
Once in the woods, he had tinic to survey himself and found he hud blood on his shirt sleeve. With his jiocket knife, he cut off the .sleeve above the blood sjiots and threw the piece in tho woods. He also threw away the chisel.
Thon he went homo, bathed, chaiiKod his clothes and went to Jamaica. This was aboul I o'clock, hc said. At Jamaica, ho .s<iid, hc sold the* watches and ring, getting $11 for the watches and $:;.50 for the ring, and returned home.
Thursday, hc said, he looked for work. Yesterday hc had his mu.stucho shaved and his hair ciit and went to Now Hydo I'ark. Ho was just return¬ ing home when hc wjis ai're.stcd.
Kubal suid hc wa.s Ifarn in Ru.siiiaii Poland and came to this country eleven and ono-half years ago. tlo hud boon in Hompstead thrco months, .\bout a year ago, hc married a widow with two children. Another child is expected in July, ho .said. Ho worked as a laborer horo, and said the last place whore he worked was Mrs. Clark's, at West Hompstead. The fact that ho was un¬ able to find work and had littlo or nothing In the huuse lu eat, led him to jilan ^thc crime, ho said.
.¦\sked if he was a .Socialist, he .said: "No. Bolshevik," with a smile.

whore ho had thrown the clii.sel with which hc (.said hc killed Ihe woman and also where he had .sold tho .stolon jewelry.
Closely (iusrded Prisoner
.\s he was taken from Uk- polico of¬ lice, handcuffed to Morsi- of tho .sher¬ iff's staff. Kubal w;is clo.soly surrounil- (d by several of the local police, stati troopers, sheriff's mon and other offi¬ cers to prevent tho crowd outside from attwnpling to tako the law into llioii- own hands. I'^fothing happened, how- ovor, as tho pri.soner was hustled off lo Lynbrook in the sheriffs car, fol¬ lowed by the district attorney and others.
The prisoner .said ho had served Ihroo terms iu pri.son. One was a seii- lonce of a year in tho New Jersey Ro- formalory at Rah way; tho second, whon ho was arre.sted ut .SpringfieUi. .Mass., for tho theft of a satchel from a railway station, and the third ul .Al¬ bany, N. y.. County Ponilentiarx-, for fighting while drunk. Hib scnlonco. ho .said, in .'Mbany was for three monlli.s, but ho escaped after ton da\s. He was there under the name of Frank Basan. because, hc .said, he did not dare kivc his real name.
Kubal .said ho can road and write the' English language and demon st ruled Oiat he could wrlto by placing' the name "Nicholas Steflln" on a slici't of i)apor. He .said ho had read tlic paiiois about tho crime, iind ho ilis- pellod tho belief that ho had boon fi'ightonod awuy by tho approach of Mis. Robert Soabury, sister of the doad woman, v.ho called tu see .Mrs. Bart¬ lett at a'oout 2 o'clock that da>.
"I road in papers about woiiian hearing swift steps on sUiirs. I novor hoard anybody," ho doclarod. This would scorn to indicate that ho had al¬ ready left the house whon Mrs. Sca¬ bury callod, for had ho been thero, ho undoubtedly would havo hoard hor.
Tho pri.soner sloadfustly denied usiiiK a knife on Airs. Barlioll, muintainiiiK that ho hail caused tho inurk-s on lui face with the chisel.
Kubal Collapses
Kubal was taken to Jamaica early to day lo show where ho had sold kho.Is stolon from Mrs. Bartlclt's h<jmc.
Following Kulml's arraigiimeiil iii Lynbrook oarly today, he wus l>rou;,'1|l hack hero. Ho had breukfusl in the New York Luin'hr<«>tn on Fulton u\i^ nue. After he had llnished tho meal, he Huddenl.v lollapsed and lost co'ii.scioiis iioss. I'p to that time he luid borno up remarkably well, but apimreiilly tho lo alizatioii of tho seriousness of (ho situ atlon had giuduully been growing u|k>ii him. lie was revived quickly. .
aUSfflNGMUaJOmHUNT I FOR SUSrECrlEPORTED SEEN WORTII OF JAMAICA
llrmpatead. ^Pf 36-—After a searc)i iHstini,' nekrty AU the afternoon and until almost dark. Chief of Pollee P. A. Seaman and Motorcycle I'oHccman John Feely returned to Hempsiead last night, disappointed In not being able to Hnd the man they were seeking, t>e- lleveu to have been the one who as¬ saulted ai^d murdered Mrs. Minnie S. Bartlett in her Hempstead avenue home Wedoaai^ aftemoofi. It prov ed a wild goose chase, as events later showed, wben tbe real murderer was arrested.
The Hempstead police, ably assisted by polk^e from Flushing, scoured the on tiro country In the vicinity ot the placo wbera tbe supposed murderer had been seen.
The Hempstead police were tirst iiotiticd ot the presence of the suspect at about 1:30, when Clarence B. Wil¬ liams of Shonnard avenue. Freeport, notified Sergeant Tbomaa J. Wiley, on the desk at the time, that he had seen a man answering tho descriptioni of tho supposed ansallant of the Mrs. Bartlett walking along the Black Slump road, about a half a mllo north of Hlll^de avenue, toward Flushing.
U'iioy at once communicated with Cliiof Seaman, who, with Feely, start¬ ed for the point where tho man was .soon.
Williams told the police that as hc wa.s riding along toward Uempstead, ho hai met a man who waved hi.s hand at bim. Williams asked him if ho wanted to ride afid he said no. he wimid rather walk, and wont on to¬ ward Flushing. Williams doscrilxxl tho man as about 5 feet 8 inchos lall. Ho wore a soft brown hat, hud a mus- lacho and a few scratches ou his face, llo wore a brown cimiI, au army shirt thai was greasy und dirty about the neck, mixed colored trousers and heavy tan shoes.
This dcacription answers vory close ly that giVen of the man who was seen ubout the murder house before tho murder and In the woods that nighl by the two colored girls,
.Vs soon aa the local ihjUco reached tho point they obtained tho coopera¬ tion of the Flushing jjolico and soon had about a dozen men on motorcycles. In automobiles and on fuot to as-sist thom. They spread out and H)>oiit the remainder of the afternoon, tho Flush¬ ing iK)llce working overtime lo aid in. the search, and covered cvory roa^ !ii tho viclnily. Chief Seaman found that tho man had stopped at tho homo of Mrs. J. Lingerez, on the Black Slimip roud and had asked for a drink. Tho woman described tho tnan as had Williams, and said that he seemed in a on, but she was unable to say whether a wooden bucket. Ho Ihon haatcnod sho could get a cup, but drank out of groat hurry and would not wait until lie went along the Corona road or liUo Iho woods. That was about 12 o'clock. It was at ubout 12:30 that Williams mot tho man.
