That He Did 1t in self-Defense.
PITTsFIELD. Mass, Oct. 21.-Althoueh
not in the least unexpected. the partial con-
fession Of murderer Coy has caused big
sensation. In It the murderer sets up the
story of self-defense and will attempt to
escape the halter on his confession Of the
crime
Nobody saw him kill Whalen; therefore
no one can say that Quarrel did not
take place; but. in this connection, the
opinion Of Medical Examiner Paddock II
decidedly interesting.
DR.. Paddock gives it as his belief that
the wound on Whalen's head, which
fractured his skull, could not have been
inflicted with the axe while the victim was
In a standing posture. He clings to his
original theory that Wnalen was killed
wh le he slept.
Coy exonorates George Kelley and Mrs.
Coy, saying that they knew nothing
about the crime. When asked how ho
came to have so much money Immediately
after Whalen's disappearance he grew re-
ticent, but finally said that Whalen gave
It to him in consideration Of his saying
nothing about his (Whalen's) intimacy
with Mrs. Coy.
Coy's confession Is considered weak In

General Howard calls special attention to
the necessity of having fortified points as
basis of proper defense of our national
interests, and recommends that a COM
plete defense of the lnbined harbors Of
Savannah and Port Royal, S. c., by works
on Tybes Hilton Head and ST. Helena
