MURDERER IS SLATED
FOR MENTAL HOSPITAL
Axel Anderson. Who Killed Miss Eek
lund, Will Have Hearing as to
His Sanity Today.

Axe1 Anderson. or Carlson as he was
sometimes known. the murderer Of Miss
Matilda Ecktund Of Sandy. will be taken
before Judge Lewis this morning at 10
O. clock to be examined Is TO MS sanity
During the DAY yesterday. and last even
ing, he was examined at length by County
Physician DR.. OdeII. Assistant County
Physician DIT. KiTtley, Dr. Calder, super
inteudent Of the state mental hospital at
Provo. and DIT. A. c. Ewing. alienist-
In view of his evident disOrdered mental
condition il is not considered likely that
Anderson will be called to pay the penalty
for his wanton act in shooting down Miss
Ecklund but that he will be confined IN
the state mental hospital.
Anderson shot Miss Ecklund last THURS
dav night while she was sitting in her
home near Sandy, reading her Bible He
had creDt UP to one Of the WINDOWS,
through which ne fired the first shot,
then scurrying TO rear window sent
two bullets into her back. either of which
would have been fatal Then, entering the
front door he stood over her PROSTATE
body and sent a third bullet crashing into
her left temple All the details Of the
crime reflected the workings Of the drink
crazed mind of a maddened man.
Yesterday in the examination made by
the doctors. Anderson still narrated the
incidents of the shooting IN MS rambling
way. although as regards his past lie ne
suotxe coharentlv enough. He still insists
that he killed the woman because some
one had to die. and he thought it better
for her than for him. This is repeated as
the reason for his deed coupled with the
excuse that since he killed her the
''stresks'' haze gone away from his head.
In the last day OF two he lost some Of
his former cheerfulness so manifest after
the murder. and has assumed a moody
attitude To Sheriff Sharp and the jailers
he appears to begin to have at least some
hazy thought Of the enormity Of his crime.
and in a measure is coming to a realiza-
ton of what his act meant
