MEANT TO ROB. BUT NOT TO KILL. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received September 27, 8.20 a.m.) MONTE CARLO, 27th Sept. Goold, who, with his wife, is under arrest for the. murder of Mrs. Levin, a Swiss, has made a fresh confession, ono of soveval. Ho now declares that ho and Mrs. Goold were without resources, and determined to rob some one. Ho says thero was no intention to kill Mrs. Levin. Tho idea was merely to stun and then rob her. With a kitchen pestle he tried to fell tho woman, but she showed an unexpected resistance, and this lod him to stab her. On 'Mrs. Goold being confronted with tho confession of her husband, 6he declared that sho had nothing to say, in reply, and then fainted. The widowed mother of the murdered woman, Emma Levin, whose name is Ahlquist, lives afc Copenhagen, in poor circumstances. He daughter Emma had always contributed generously to her support. A brother of Mrs. Levin, in an interview recently, stated that his sister's namo before her marriage was Emma Ericka Ahlquist. Sho was a Dane. Eighteen years ago she married in Berlin a Jewish stockbroker named Leopold Levin, of the <inn °f Lovin and Sons. Copenhagen. Xho husband died two years and a half ago, and since that time she had travelled a great deal. She was left ' well provided for by her husband. IHis sister was very kind to people whom sho knew ; in fact, she was, ho thought, always too good-natur-ed. He added that tho story published in some of the London and Continental newspapers that Mrs. Levin was in pecuniary difficulties, was incorrect. She was in receipt of income from her late husbind's firm, Messrs. Levin and Sons (Limited), of Copenhagen, Stockholm, Genoa, and London.
