CRIMES IN PRUSSIA.
MURDERER'S CONFESSION.
SEVERAL BOYS AS VICTIMS.
A. and N. 55. liONDON. July 7. Advices from Cologne state that one of the most terrible stories in the annals of crime has been revealed through the confession of a young German tradesman named Haarmen. The man admits having enticed twelve boys into his bedroom, where he killed them in an indescribably brutal manner. Engineers diverted the course of the River Leine, and from the river bed there have been recovered several sacks full of remains. The indications are that the number of boys in Haarmen's degenerate association must have exceeded twenty in number.
