Mt. Carmel. ILL.,. Oct 6.-If Mrs
Margaret Lucas is a murderess ma
ternsl love has made her one.
In Jail at Albion today she said she

Clyde Showalter and afterward help
ed MIN dispose of the body to save
him from the consequences of the
crime.
Richard Conrad and Oma johnson
say that they saw Mrs. Lucas lelp
her son wrap the body of Showalter
in sheet and help him carry it TO
the river bank and throw IL into the
water. The state will show, ii is
claimed Tat she helped her son raise
the shrouded body from the bottom
OF the river at midnight, ferry il across
the river aud a mile up Patoka creek
and bury IL on the bank of the creek.
But Mrs. Lucas says, great as is
her love for her son, she could not
and would not have made those sac
rftices for aim. In her cell today she
said: If Jess had killed that man
l would have said to him: Kid. go
and give yourself up. | would have
spent my last cent in his defense. but
! would not have helped cover up a
crime"

WILL DISPOSE
Of BIC FUND
Trustees of Peabody Educa-
tional Money Will Meet
51st Time To-Day.
BY AsseeIated Prsss.

New York, Oct. 6.-When the trus-
tees of the Peabody education fund
assemble tomorrow for their fifty-first
annual meeting it is. more than likely
that final distribution of the main
fund aggregating 81. 800, 900 will be
made, FurfherfhSre, 1t has been prac-
tically decided lat the entire sum
will so to educational institutions OF
the south with the probability that
the Normal college at Nashville WILDE
the chief beneficiary. This institute
will receicas 81 .pO0, 600 upon the pro-
yiso that the state of Tennessee, Nash
vile and the county in which the col
lege is located raise a similar sum-
AS the terms of this agreement have
been practically lived up to, little
doubt remains in the minds Of the
trustees that the terms will be carried
out.
The remainder of the fund will be
apportioned throughout the south, the
bulk of it in all probability going to
Missouri and Kentucky.
since none of these states has bene-
flied from the fund up to the pres
ent time.
