The next day Judge Martin, that's the judge who was going to sentence us, came the jail to see in himself. He is as hard as nails, I'll say this for him, he acted on the level.

I guess he came to make sure the doctors were right. lie didn't try to soft-soap me into-anything. He talked straight talk, and was polite and called me 3Irs. Cooney. But when he went away, 1 know as well as I know this minute that it was good night for us and that ho wi.a going to stick us for the limit because he figured it was coming to us.

That was the first time. I got to thinking about what it would be like afterward. All jails looked alike to me. And I thouprht maybe they'd just stick me back in this same cell, and that anyway I'd get the chance Cecilia Cooney, the Bobbed-Hair Bandit, today ends her excla-tive stoty.

Borofske, J7 years old. committed suicide by hanging himself In the clothes closet of one of the bed rooms In the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary Leonard. No. 1 State Street, where he boarded.

Saturday night. His dead body was discovered by his sister and her little daughter when they returned from attending a moving theater on Young" Street where her husband, Carl Leonard, Is employed. Medical Examiner Charles Ivong stated that the man had been dead several hours when found. Borofske had been acting strangely for several weeks, showing signs of deepondsncy, which his family believes was Induced by the failure of a local store operator, to take him back to work several months ago. Borofske had been employed at the store as a driver of sn auto delivery truck for the last ten years and was regarded as Inseparable from his employer.

Borofske recently had a misunderstanding with his employer and, quit. He later tried to get his Job back but without success. Borofske had lived In the Tona-wandas all his life. Two sisters and four brothers, all of the Tonawandas survive. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the late resl-denes at 2:30 o'clock.

The finding of a note, readings "Forgive me, Mary. on the dining-room by Mrs. Leonard upon her return from the shmr resulted In a search feeing made which revealed the suicide. his long-lost daughter. There I was "cn sight" at last, but he didn't try to shoot me.

There were three policewomen there, dressed like anybody tlse you'd have thought they was manicures or stenographers and they eyed me up and down to look at my clothes hat and shoes and whispered about me not being bobbed haired at all. Confess to Crimes. And Uiere Mas Hughes behind a flat-topped desk, looking even more pleased than Captain Carey. At first they tried to lay a lot of stuff on us we hadn't done holding up a milk wagon and robbing a truck and shooting at a cop, and I don't know wliat. We never worked out doors not once.

But as soon as they saw we were telling the truth, they played It square, and we confessed to all the ten or eleven we had done. When they took us to the Poplar Street headquarters to finger-print us, there was some new cops I had never seen before, and they acted pretty sour. I guess it was some more of the same gang that had tried so hard to catch us and couldn't. They didn't rough us, but they gave us nasty looks and tried to make us feel like dirt. Took my hand, first one and then the other, like it was a horse's hoof or something not human, nnd smeared it with black and pressed it down on a piece of paper.

And the same way when they pulled off my hat to make the pictures. There was a lot more dragging us arouni from one place to another that lasted till the middle of the next day, and then they put me in this cell, where I've been since. Put in Cell. They (shut down the little peep-liole In the iron door and left me all alone, and for a while I was glad to be alone. I was sick of bluffing.

I was blue, miserable and used up. I had been saying to myself. "Celia. you got to grin and hold your head up and bluff it And part of the time the excitement But anybody that thinks didn't care is Jut a plain fool. What got me worstwas when Ed's mother ami then my sister came to nie.

She's a jrood soul, Ed's mother a good old woman. You could see she had been crying her eyes out. She put hor arms around me and hugged me to her, and talked about how Ed was her baby boy and she couldn't believe it, and how it was hurting Tom, that's Ed's brother, and about how she was ashamed to face the neighbors. That the awful part of goiii.e wrong. Yon don't only pay for it yourself.

You put shame and dis grace on everybody that cares the most about you. Believe me, you've always got plenty of time to think things over when it's too late. Examined for Sanity. A couple of days later they sent the two doctors-enemy alienists, or something like that. tJiey called hem to see if Ed and I was crazy.

They might have spared their time. They skinned back my eyelids and tapped on first one of my knees and then the other, with a little rublier hammer. That's a funny way to lind out if anybody's crazy or not." And then they asked me a lot of questions, and I got sick of Answering them, mid said. '-Here, you know perfectly well I'm not crazy, so what's the use of ail this Ed and I were both fools to do what we did. Anybody is a fool to do such things.

But that's not being crazy. Besides, where Is it any better to be locked up in a booby hatch than in a jail? What good would it of done me to try to put over a fake? Visited by Judge.

Chief amonr the snokesmen from Barcelona are J. L. Waterman who says that if the cut-off is made the name state Line-Barcelona road Is mis-statement, as the road would ot be in Barcelona nor would it era through that place, but would go straight to the village of Westfield nd away from Barcelona.

Hornell Street Cars Still Lack Patrons HORNELL May 12.

Instead of hav ing the effect that was ex nee ted it had just the contrary, for instead of stimulating business there has been a notable fall-off in passengers ever mce it went into effect. This loss Is more than the road can.

It was often told by Mr.

Kennan that perhaps the strangest happening which ever occurred to him was the manner in which he made his debut as a traveler and adventurer. He was In his eighteenth year, working as a night telegraph operator in Cincinnati when a message was flashed over the wire asking him if he would take part in an 3xpdi-tion into the Interior of Siberia. Tli purpose of the expedition, 1 wa explained, was to ascertan telc-graphc communcatons could be maintalnd across this vast country to Europe. It wu generally conceded at this time that the transatlantic cable being promoted by Cyrus Field was Impractical. Lured by the romance of adven ture Kennan agreed to accompany the expedition and through a series of happenings soon found himself its leader.

The company, under Mr. Kennan, spent two years traveling through and Investigating the possibilities of Siberia. was in one of the wildest parts of Siberia when he received word, from the Russian capltol, that the transatlantic cable was a success and it had been decided to abandon the overland route. Keenan returned to his home, but had become so Interested in Siberia that he soon returned to seek new-adventure. In' 1870 he wrote "Tent Life In Siberia." his first hook, and the following year, in 1871, he explored the Eastern Caucasus, crossing the great ranffO' twice.

He was later employed by the Associated Press when he receivsJ an offer from the Century Magazine to go to Siberia to Investigate the condition of the Siberian exiles- lie traveled 1 5,00 miles through the interior of Siberia and Russia and his subsequent writing In magazines and in book form, entitled "Siberia and the Exile System," jyas perhaps the most fearless and exposing treatise ever written on the subject. He supplemented his writings with lectures in'thls country and in Europe. In his later years Mr. Kennan acted as correspodent for the Outlook Magazine and wrote glowing reports of operations in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. He also reported on the Russian-Japanese war.

As Ve got out there vas a wham, bang, flash: made me think the whole place had been hit by lightning. I blinked my eyes and threw up my head. It was the reporters with their cameras. We walked through a line of them, and there was more flashes. Most of the crowd from the train went one way, and we went another, up some iron steps.

As we got near the top, some man gave a yell, 'Here she 'and then there was such a yelling you would think it was a ball game. Big Crowd at Station. I never saw such a sight. Do you know how big that Pennsylvania stations Is? Well, It was filled. Jammed with people, crowding, yelling, pushing.
