GIRL LURED
Continued From Page ono.)
Intimate With Girl.

Mr.. Gehrke ana the authorities
were aware that young Bennett was
intimate with Lila Zane. He met her
Immediately after coming from Pitts.
burg about three weeks before the
murder, and was with her several
times on the street, and called at her
home at the fair grounds, on the Isl,
land. Young Bennett received a tele-
phone call from her at the home Of
his brother on the afternoon OF the
murder, and he was known to have
been in company with her that night
Another point of suspicion arose
against the girl, when she and Cook
the other self-confessed slayer, were
married the following Monday night,
two days before the body was dis
covered and Immediately left for
Detroit. 1t was seen that the girl
had purchased new clothes without
receiving money from her parents.
.Aft,,r remaining in Detroit a few
months, they returned to this city
and separated.
Gave Himself Up.
Prompted by the BELIEF that the
police were on his tracks, evidently
stung by a guilty conscience, and tor.
tured by the trouble that had come
between himself and his partner in
life as well as in crime, young Cook
went to police headquarters Monday
night and surrendered to Lieutenant
of Police Howard Hastings. He con.
fessed to his part in the murder and
implicated the Zane girl. Yesterday
morning she made a full confession.
Whine. the other boy implicated in
both confessions, persists that he Is
innocent of any connection with the
crime.
Held Without Bail.
The confessions were made in the
presence of Prosecutor schuck and
Justice OF the peace R. c. Hobbs, and
warrants were promptly issued, charg-
ing the trio with murder. They were
hcIa without bail, and the date OF
the preliminary hearing was set for
Monday, March %, at ten O'Clock
a. m.
Yesterday morning George Spears
was arrested by Detective Kelley and
held as witness. He declares that a
short time after the crime Cook con-
fessod to him and said he was the
one who pushed the body into the
river.
