Mystery of Twelve Years Solved in Jeffords Case
A long crime tale closes as Charles Jeffords confesses to killing Dr. Burdell, and implicated murders of John Walton and John Matthews. He details a brutal fight in Dr. Burdell's house aided by Mrs. Cunningham, with police later directing suspicion elsewhere. The confession, given to detective Jefferson Jinks, is supported by consistency with the room, wounds, and Jeffords’s dangerous reputation. Authorities attach credibility, and the World confirms the arrest of Jeffords for Walton and Matthews murders. An unrelated note reports Secretary Seward replying to Cuban protection concerns and Port Townsend quakes registering briefly.
