The miserable woman said that she we forty-eight years of age, and that she was born near the town of Burlington, N. J. She was
brought up to the trade of a tailoress, and worked for a man uained Owen in New Hranewick, While there abe became nogaaint. ed with her "first victim," Mr. Edward Struck, to whom she was married shortly afterwards. They then went to Yorkville, where Struck worked at dia trade sa a carriage blacksmith, and where she bad her firet child. Afterwards they lived at New Tork so other places to gether for about faarteen years, several chil dren being born. Struck then joined the police force, and was sent to Manhattanville, where the prisoner encountered what she called her

The man after this declined to try and got any work, and would lie in bed for weeks together, dealin ing to see a dbetor, and saying that he was not ill. Finally ho appeared to go out of his mind, and at list, absing on the advice of a polie sergeant with whom the woman hid formet an aoquaintance, she resolved upon patting bin out of the way.". The culprit describes the marder of her husband, and then of her children, in the following terms:

Then I gave it to my husband to drink, and he drank of it several times during the afternoon. He was then taken sick, with parging. I sent for Dr. Jackson, of Carmansville, and be care in the svening. He asked Mr. Struck how he relt, but he did not speak to him. The doctor stayed a short time and left with me two white powdere, and told me to give them to him during the night.
