Will Ellis Surrenders To Sheriff Roberts Over The
 Long Distance Phone.
RETURN INDICTMENT
Man Who Killed '. P. WiIli, Nust Answer First Dtgrrr Murder
 Charge.

1 W. Y. Ellis, superintendent of the Citizens Light and Transit Company in this city, who Snot an,l killed Ma thaniel F. Willis, of Indianapolis. i. the chamber of Judge Guy Ialk in Little Rock several months ago, was yesterday indicted by the Pulaski county grand jury, charged with mur- ter i'll the first degree After being informed of the indictm, mt. Ellis, who IS enjoying freedom on a ten thousand dollar bond, telephoned Sheriff Bert Roberts at Little Rock that he would go 10 the capital this morning and surrender. He will be committed to jail to await trial. Mr. Ellis will be accompanied by his wife. who insists upon going with him. Little Mary Willis, who is still ignorant Gf lha tragedy, will remain here with friends.
 The indictment was no surprise to Ellis or any of his friends. Macy predicted, however, that the jury would either return an indictment for der, which are balable offenses. A first degree murder charge is not one that will admit release of a prisoner on bond. Unless habcas corpus pro coedinRS are resortod to to bring abou. Ellis release from jail he will be held in the Little Rock jail until his trial is called.
 Ellis has been in poor health for some months and physicians declare that three weeks confinement will be fatal to him His release on bond in the Jefferson chancerY court here some months ago was due mainly to the statements of physicians that FL lis condition would not allow his close confinement in a jail as unsanitary as the Pulaski county jail is reported 10 be.
 It is understood here Chat Mrs T.. L.. Culver, of St. Louis, the wealthy aunt of Willis, recently made the statement that she would spend large sums of money to bring about Ellis conviction. She has already employed former Lieutenant Governor Charles P. Johnson, of Missouri, to aid in the lis uncle, and other relatives have already made plans for his defense and the case promises to be one of the most stubbornly fought murder trials ever heard in Little Rock court
 E. O. Ellis. of Fayetteville, father of w. Y. Ellis, is at present visiting his son in this city. He may go to Little Rock this morning with MT. and Mrs. Ellis. Judge NJ. A. Austin, one of Ellis attorneys, was in Little Rock yesterday and appeared before eye witnesses to the shooting.
 Cause of the Tragedy.
 Little Rock. Ark, Oct. 2-(Special) The killing of Willis by Ellis was the continuation of several years of litigation between Willis and his for mer wife, now the wife of Ellis, over the custody of their daughter. Mary
 Senator Jeff Davis, as attorney for Willis, secured an order from Judge Guy Fulk, in circuit court, second di vision, ordering the mother to allow the father custody of the child for a short time. Willis came from India napolis in company with his mother to secure the child, and with his attor- ney met Ellis and his attorney, Judge NJ. A. Austin. of Pine Bluff, in the
