Save Himself from Being Ly ynehed-Led
to Confess by woman's Appeal.
BALTIMORE May 9.-Price. the convicted

mits that he alone committed the deed
Up to Tuesday night ho stoutly adhered
to his first story, in which he charged
Grant Corkran, a popular young school
teacher, with being the principal in the
crime, upon the strength of which Cork.
ran spent week in jail His admission
that ho is guilty of the double crime
aroused so much anger that tho authori
ties brought Price to Baltimore for safe
keeping.
Price made this statement without
tremor:
"Whcn went into the woods on the
morning of the murder knew that Sallie
Dean usually passed along the road nearby
on her way to school When l saw her
approaching went to her and talked for
minute or two.
after we talked for a while struck
Sallie with the three cornered stone that
was exhibited at the trial and then cut
her throat dragged her body into the
woods and covered it with cedar bush.
buried her lunch pail, her books, the
stone and the knife. When the body was
found / was active in trying to locate the
murderer, for did not wish the authori-
ties to suspect me. After l told the de.
tectiyes of my dream they, of course,
thought / murdered the gir1, and they
eventually fastened the guilt on me-"
why did you implicate Grant Corkran
in the murders"
Because had grudge against him, in

people of Caroline county were anxious to
lynch the murderer, and kaow that II

would be safe from harm
Price intimates that he was induced to
confess when he received letter from a
lady in Baltimore who signed herself as,
M. j., 1923 West Fayotte street" The
