Becker Makes Another Confession
to the Chicago Police.
OREMATED TIE BoDYoF HIS WIFE

After Killing thewoman the Murderer
Cut the Body Up and Boiled 1t in .
Large Kettle, Burning Up What Re-
manned.
Chicago, March 15.-Aususte Becker,
the sausage maker who has been under
arrest for four weeks on a charge Of
numbering his wife, made q full COMES.
sion last night. He said that he cut
his wife to pieces and burned the re-
mains in stove. Becker, when first ar
rested, admitted killing his wife, but de.
clared he pushed her Of Randolph street
visduet into the lake, and that she was
drowned.
In his confession Becker said he had
killed his wife by striking her on the
head with . Ratchet in the kitchen of
his home. He then cut the body to
pieces and boiled it In q large kettle.
Becker says he took what remained and
burned it in stove, the fire having been
prepared by him. The bones which
would not burn he buried on the prairie
near his home. Becker asserts the crime
was not premeditated, but that he quar-
relied with his wife on the afternoon Of
Jan. n, and in the heat Of passion he
struck her on the head with the Ratchet.
The piece Of lung and a portion Of
calico which were found under the barn,
and which the police believe to be strong
evidence against Becker, he says could
not be any part Of the body Of his wife,
as he is certain that he destroyed every
particle Of flesh. and he maintains the
dress which she wore was entirely burn-
ed.

Indians Planning DcYiltrv.

Minneapolis, March 15.-Michael Co
gans, well known and conservative,
pine cruiser, says that the Leeeh Lake
Indians are ready for any sort of
devltry. They have been holding coun-
ellis two or three times week, and the
proceedings are kept very quiet. The
Indians grievance is based on fear
that after prospective pine sales are over
they will still be in debt, somethin ,
that has been known to happen before
Gogans says the Indians could muster in
case Of trouble fully 1900 fighting men,
nearly all armed.
