CONFESSION OF A YOUTH
JULIUS WILTRAX SAYS HIS FATHER
KILLED A YOUNG BOY.
Saw Him Standing Over His Victim
with n Smoking Pistol I'm His Hand
The Body Disposed OF.

CHICAGO, May ga startling confession
was made to Inspector Wheeler to-day at
the West Chicago police station by julius
Wiltrax when the latter declared that his
father, John Wiltrax, had shot and killed
six-year-old Paul Paszkowsh. For nearly
a week the wiltrax boy has been in the
custody Of the police, as have his father.
whom he now accuses, and also his mother.
The circumstantial evidence was SO strong
that a charge of murder was preferred
against the saloon keeper. The family
maintained a stolid silence, notwithstand-
ing the repeated sweating they were put
to- They at all times denied knowledge of
the crime.
julius Wiltrax at one time while being
questioned accused his parents with killing
the boy Later, however, he denied the ac-
cusation. This afternoon he was again
subjected to the "sweatbox,'' and after be-
ing questioned at length he broke down.
He said: Monday morning 1 was awak-
ened between and o'clock by the sound
of revolver shot. l jumped out of bed
and ran to the kitchen, from where the
sound came. The kitchen is in the rear Of
the saloon. There 1 saw Paul on the floor.
revolver in his hand and it was still smok-
ing While / stood there father opened a
door in the floor and let Paul fall into the
basement. / don't know when the body
was removed. Mother told me afterwards
that father shot Paul because he had
broken the wagon.
Inspector Wheeler was satisfied with the
bows statements and did not press him for
more details. 1t is the belief of the in
spector that the body OF the boy lay in the
dark basement of the Wiltrax home sew
eraI days before it was buried. They are
inclined to the belief that the boy was not
dead when thrown into the basement, but
died later from neglect.
