Declares Ryan Attacked Her ard she
Killed Him unaidsd After Which
She Feared to Give Herself Up.

On Sunday. Mrs Aurora Hodge. a

Is in Denison. Iowa, walked into the
police station at Grand Rapids, Mich
and declared that she wished to give
herself up, saying that on July 1lth'
she had shot and killed William X.
Ryan, peddlar, near Salt Lake City.
Mrs. Hodge, who claims to be ~
years of age says that she had lett
her husband in California and came
TO Ogden Here she met Ryan, who
engaged her to accompany him in his
travels over the country and act as
his booltkeeper When near Salt Lake
City. she claims, he made an assault
defense She intended to give herself
up to the police. but her nerve failed
her and she took what money she
could find upon Ryan's person and
bought a ticket for Denison, Iowa,
where her brother and foster parents
live. She claims she told her brother
what she had done and he advised
her to surrender herself to the au-
thorities or he would tell them him
self. She then left Denison and went
to Chicago, where, through an en-
ployment agency, she secured posi-
ton as waitress at hotel at Spring
Lake, near Grand Rapids, Mich. Then
sne made up her mind to surrender
and went to Grand Rapids for that
purpose.
This is the woman's story, but 1t
is not credited by the police, although
they believe she was implicated in
the murder.
On the afternoon of Tuesday. July
14th, the body of William X. Ryan, a
spectacle vendor, was found In a will
low thicket two miles east of Murray.
The body was in advanced stages of
decomposition and presented a horri-
BILE sight. 1t had been carefully
wrapped in blankets, and investiga-
ton showed that death had resulted
at least forty-eight hours before the
discovery was made.
That murder had been committed
was apparent. Evidences of the crime
were found in profusion. The ped
dler's dog was fastened to the tongue
of the wagon; his horses were teth-
cred near by. The body was found
lying face downward. When the
blankets were removed a deep cash
was found in the mans head. The
physician, however, said that this
wound did not cause his death. His
legs were bound with a whipcord. His
hands were fastened rigidly with a
cord While strap enchciing hf-
body was bound tightly around his
neck. 1t developed that the crime was
committed at midnight July 18th.
Neignbors in the vicinity of the
corpse declared that they had seen a
woman with the wandering merchant
on the day before the crime was com.
mitted.
II is believed Mrs. Hodge had assist.
ance in the crime and further devel-
opments are expected. She will be
