Show Tlic Nathan Mystery. Xew York, 30. Ex-Judge Curdoza, who was. questioned relative to tho confession of Irving, the sclf-slylcdj Xathan murderer, now in San Trail-, cisco, said he believed it tlic cmana- J tion of an insane brain. Young Xa- than, he said, loved his father and : his affection was returned. Tlic only reason the son's share was I not put more directly under his control was to protect him from his generous and open-hearted disposi- j tion. Justice Dowling said he knew : Forrester and the others committed the murder, but it was impossible to convict them without other testimony than their own, as they arc felons. He added that Dr. Lee was of the opinion that Forrester was tlic real murderer. He also said no Pacific Mail, or Boston, Hartford and Erie bonds were stolen from Mr. Xathan's house. Mr. John L. Irving says no person named Irving, related to Washington Irving, was ever born at Sunnyside, as the man in question clainiH. The general impression . is that Irving is playing for a free pass to Xew York. |
