CONFESSION OF MURDERER

According to information received
yesterday by the Governor the fact
that man gave the Norfolk police
an assumed name when arrested for
intoxication, and died while in Gus
tody, has tied up the distribution OF
the estate OF his mother in far-off
Switzerland. The difficulty arises
from the trouble in proving that the
man who died was the Swiss who was
heir to the property.
The letter comes from the Swiss le-
cation in Washington. 1t says that
Rene Calame. of Swiss origin, was in
Norfolk several years ago, being en-
ployed there. His relatives had not
heard from him for years until news
came that he was dead Upon investi-
cation 1t was found that he was adj
dicted TO alcoholism, and, presumably
while on debauch, he was given a
term of sixty days in Jail
