The Almost Incredible Story Told by a Young Man Who Was Respectably Rented—Seven Indictments Found. The Servant Girl Detained» BLOOMSBURG, Pa, Feb. 4,—Clifton Knorr’s attempt to blow up former Con- gressman Levi E.» Waller’s house with dy- namite on Sept. 10 last and his confession, implicating Lawyer Lloyd S. Winterstern, have been thrown in the shade by a later statement, in which Knorr admits having made two attempts to take the life of his stepmother, and another efi'ort against Waller. ' Knorr says he has been but a. tool in the hands of Winterstern. The county authori- ties and the counselors employed by Mr. Waller have been: in possession of the facts for some time, and their investigations seem- to bear out the truth of what Knorr has told, them. Knorr charges that, while acting under the directions of the attorney. he not only put ‘ the explosive under Wallcr's porch, but had been previously looking for the occupant of the house with a. revolver. He also says that he tried to put his step- mother, Mrs. Knorr, out of the way by the introduction of poison in her tea and by placing diphtheria germs about her cloth- mg. The details of the dynamite plot have al- ready been told. After Knorr’s arrest in Readin g on Christmas day he turned state’s evidence and created a sensation by alleg- ing that Winterstern, a. well known mem- ber of the Columbia county bar and presi- dent of two or three industrial concerns, was the prime factor in the attempt upon the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Waller and the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Buckalew, who formed a part of the Wal- ler household. Winterstcrn, he said, had offered him $5,000 or $6,000 to place the dynamite beneath the porch and blow up the house. It was on the basis of this confession that both Knorr and Winterstern were yesterday indicted by the grand jury un- der seven separate bills, charging them with several forms of attempts to kill. It is in his latter confession that Knorr charges Lawyer Winterstern with complic- ity in other attempts upon the life of Waller and of Mrs. Knorr. The Alleged Plot. In November, 1895, according to the written statement now in possession of the prosecuting attorney, Winterstern first broached the subject of disposing of Mr. Waller. He gave Knorr $10 and told him to go to a. neighboring town, where he was to purchase a revolver. Then he was to return to Bloomsburg, lie in wait for Wal- ler and shoot him as he passed from his house to his oflice, about four squares away. Clifton says he took the money, purchased the weapon and followed out the directions to the letter until he discovered that Waller was (fit of town. . Mr. Waller happened to be away for a few weeks with his family, having gone south to visit the Atlanta exposition. The confession then goes on to state that the next att’e‘hpt was upon the life of Mrs. Knorr in December of 1895, when Clifton, at the instigation of Winterstern, pur- chased a. certain poison to give his step- mother. He was at that time living at her home, 16 East Fifth street, directly op- posite the Waller residence. On two occasions he put into her teacup a sufficient quantity of the drug to kill her, but each time it was removed by the servant girl, Dora Moharter, who found it before the cup was used and threw it away. Upon the failure of this plot Clifton, ac- cording to his confession, reported to Win— terstern, and in January, 1896, the latter suggested sending to New York for diph- theria. germs, which were to be introduced around the house in such a. manner that Mrs. Knorr could not fail to contract the disease. Diphtheria. Germs Secured. Knorr says that Winterstern gave him the money and directions, whereupon he sent a letter to a person in New York, Whose name is withheld for the present, ordering what he wanted. The real use he expected to make of the germs was of course not stated, and, upon forwarding the money to pay for it. the package containing the bacilli was shipped. It arrived in due time, but Clifton had dis— covered in the meantime that the contents could not be used as was first intended. It would be necessary to inoculate Mrs. Knorr in order to make her contract diph- theria, and ’1) do that without her knowl- edge would be an impossibility. The germs were nevertheless spread around the house and all over Mrs. Knorr's clothing by her stepson. As had been ex- pected, they did not take effect. That part of Knorr’s confession which relates to his efforts to poison his step- mother is substantiated by Dora Mohartcr, the servant girl, who has been in the em- ploy of the Knorr family for nine years, and who is now in Bloomsburg awaiting a. call as a. witness at the dynamite plot trial in case it should proceed. She will swear that in December, 1895, she, discovered in Mrs. Knorr’s cup,bef0repouring the tea in- to it at Supper, a. white powder, which she threw out, without examining it closely.

Several lives wk“, ,, U PRINT sooos PROMOTION. Mill Owners Intended to Cause Action of ‘ Prices to Advance. PRovaNoE, Feb. 44—Asido from the Knights and their associates, no other mill owners hereabout have yet decided to run their mills on short time. At the office of the Lonsdale company it is learned that that company has not signed the Fall River agreement. The Wauregan Lock- wood Manufacturing company and Qfiine- bang company, which control 230,000 spindles, state that no action has been . taken relative to curtailing the output. The Coventry company will continue to run its mill at Anthony, stopping the print mill of the Bernon company at Georgia- ville. The Harris Manufacturing com- pany’s mills at Harris and Arkwrightwill continue to run, as will also the Lapham mill . at Centerville, while the Crompton company will run its fustian mill at Crompton. " Should the market respond to the action of the mills by an advance in the price, of prints it might induce those Who now lag to accelerate an advance by makin the curtailment general. On the other and, it might convince them that the hoped for improvement had set in. The only hitch likely to occur to interfere with the short time movement Was straightened out when the directors of the Seaconnet mill of Fall River, whose representative had not signed the agreement, held a meeting and voted to follow the load of the majority. Bills Ail’n'ed it marinas. ALBANY, Feb. 4.——Two important bills‘ aimed at railways were introduced in the assembly today.
