He Think: That She May Issue a Repudi- atlon of nor R'etraction of Her Con- fession—Miss Kellard Did Not . Influence Barbara. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The remafable case of Barbara Aub was in a greate state of confusion today than at any time since she made the confession which exonerated Walter Langerman a ter his conviction of criminal assault. The Aub girl has re- tracted that confession, declaring now that her testimony at Langerman’s trial was true. Barbbra Aub promised today that she would make public another statement. Just what kind of a statement she-had in mind when she made this announcement is not known. Warden Fallon, when he heard of the announcement in the Tombs, suggested that it might possibly be a recantatlon of the retraction. ' The retraction which Barbara Aub made to her aunt, Mrs. Kaufi‘er, was tak- en dcwn in writing. Mrs. Kaufier, after hearing the girl’s second story—that she had perjured herself by swearing to the alleged confession before Recorder Goff— told Mrs. Mitchell, another aunt. Mrs. Mitchell then communicated with Colonel Townsend of the district attorney’s office and also with F. B. House, the girl’s counsel. Whether the Aub girl has been under hypnotic influence since she made the con- fession and what induced her to make the retraction are two questions which her lawyer is trying to answer. There are many persons who accept the retraction of the Aub girl as a verification of the belief they entertained all along that she had told the truth on the witness stand, and that money had been used, in obtaining the confession which freed Lan- german. These persons, some of whom are con-. nectcd with the district attorney' a ofl‘lce, believe now that Barbara's retraction is part of a prearranged pkg; and was made - penalty would be in her case. . thought the girl’s mind was unbalanced. to save he'r' froiii’pii‘sonT District AttOTIIéy Fellows has stated that no steps would be taken to prosecute Langerman again. The \Varden Not Surprised. The first person to call upon Barbara Aub today was her aunt, Mrs. Mitchell. She refused to make any statement. was admitted to the girl’s presence. She waited there for Lawyer House, who ex- pected to get the Aub girl’s retraction in more tangible shape. Lawyer House pro- poses now to withdraw the girl’s plea of guilty to the perjury charge and apply for a commission to inquire into her sanity. Warden Fallon of the Tombs made a statement which seems to throw some light upon the retraction. He said: “I was in my office when the Aub girl sent for me. I went to her room. She asked me if I thought the sentence she Would receive would be a heavy one. “She wanted to know what the extreme I told her I did not know. She then asked me if I thought she was very wicked. and if I be~ lieved her confession. I gave ‘her an evasive answer. She acted very quecrly. She seemed to me like aperson just awak- ing from a dream. I then left her, and her manner impressed me so that I was not surprised to hear the story of her re- traction.” Lawyer House before going to see Bar- bara Aub said that he did not' believe in the theory of hypnotlsm, but that he She did not retract her confession while talking to him, he sdid, but nevertheless she had done so while talking with her 1 aunt. He said that he had been unableto get a coherent statement from her yester- da . y Mrs. ‘Vhittemore’s Statement. Mrs. Whittemore was seen at her home 5 today. She said: . “I believe that Barbara Aub’s first cor: fession is a correct statement of her care. For the month preceding the time when she made this confession she was nervous and unhappy and seemed to have some- thing on her mind. After she had made the confession there was a change in her whole appearance. She was quiet and contented and frequently expressed to me her happiness at having had . the load off her mind. I was with her yesterday up to noon, and there was then no expression on her part of her intention to retract her confession. She was perfectly quiet and showed none of the agitation which it is _ said she has exhibited since she made the . retraction. I cannot understand what i brought about this change in mind, but I I do not think she is crazy. When I was , with her yesterday, she was just as sane as I am. "As to these stories that Miss Kellard induced her to confess, I do not believe there is a word of truth in them. On the I night when Barbara made her confession I at the Door of Hope, I had been talking to her in our prayer room. I went down I stairs, and a few minutes later Barbara I sent down for Miss Kellard. Up to that time there had been no sign of her intone tion to make a confession. Miss Kellard went up stairs and could not have been there more than five minutes until she came down, her face all white and her body trembling all over, as if she Were greatly agitated, and said, ‘Barbara says that the story she told in court is false.’ “Then I went up to her and heard her statement, which I believe to be true. Miss Kellard was never alone with her long enough to have exerted any influence over her.” The Spanish Crisis.

The Son of a Poor Virginia Clergymau, He Removed to 011.10 and Eventually Be- came One of the unit Prom!- nent Men In. the Country. COLUMBUS, 0.,Dec.13.—Ex-Senetor Allen G. Thurman died at his home here this afternoon. The death of Mr. Thur. man was a painful shock to the general public here. The reports from him before today were to the effect that he was doing finely.- The Thurman residence is about a mile from the center of town. The and came peacefully, and the great statesma sank to rest as though only dropping into a doze. Allen G. Tl‘.““‘man was born in Lynch- burg, Va. Nov. .2; 1813. His father, Rev. P. Thurman, and his mother, only daugh- ter of C. Wei Nathaniel Allen, father of the late bovernor Allen, removed to Chil- licothe, 0., in 1819, where young Thur- man was well educated, studying law with his uncle, the. late William Allen, then United States senator, and subse~ ' i ALLEN G. THURMAN. quently with the late Noah H. Swayne of the United States supreme bench. He practiced law from 1835 to 1851, when he was elected judge of the supreme court, being chief justice from 1854 to 1856, when his term expired. During his su- preme judgeship he took up his residence permanently in Columbus. Previously he had been elected to congress. In 1867 he was the Democratic candidate for govern- or against ex-Presldent R. B. Hayes and was beaten by less than 3,000. In 1868 he was elected United States senator over Clement L. Vallandigham and re-electcd in 1874, serving 12 years in that body. .0 Defeated by His Uncle. '5} On retiring from the supreme bench he resumed the practice of law in Columbus from 1856 to 1868, and in like manner on retiring from the United States senate in 1880, although he was for years thereafter engaged in Europe as United States mon- etary commissioner by appointment of his old competitor, President Hayes. While Judge Thurman made his national repu- tation as senator, he was known 'in his state as one of the most eminent lawyers and jurists. In 1876, when Tilden was nomi- nated, he was defeated in a great measure by his uncle, Willani Allen, who was that governor and controlled the Ohio delegates In 1880 Senator Payne’s friends caused the Ohio delegates to be divided, and in 1884 his delegation was again divided through the influence of Governor Hoadly and others. While in the senate Thurman was the acknowledged leader of his side of the chamber, and became generally ‘ known as the “Old Roman.” l. Our- Future Generals.
