the fact that such an engagement ex-
listed, but l shall affirm that our en-

Miss LinneIl in breaking our en-
gagement, told me that she had
changed her views that her ambition
was to become an opera singer and
that the lot of a country ministers
wife had lost its allurement for her.
81 was in nc way responsible for
Avis LinnelPs physical condition, and
only learned of 1t to my sorrow and

self to me as her former pastor and

KENOSHA, Wis, Nov. 27-Tor-
tured by the mental picture of his
headless wife and her paranour
whom he slew last night, Pasquale
Marchesi, u years old, a merchant,
today went to a priest and confessed
the double crime, which had thereto
fore not been discovered. The young
avenger of his honor was turned over
to the police, who are closely guard
ing him for fear of mob violence to-
night.
According to Marchesi he went
home last night and found his wife
RoXsaria, and his cousin and name
sake occupying Mrs. Marchesi's bed
chamber. The younger Marchesi, who
was not of age, had been a favorite
of the husband, and the scene drove
him mad, he said. Without allow
ing his presence to become known,
Marchesi went to a woodshed, pro-
cured hand-axe, crept to the bed
room and chopped OFF the heads of
the two lovers.
Taking his baby two months old,
from the arms of the slain wife, Mar
chest washed the blood from it's face,
carried it to the home of his brother
and said that his wife was i'll. He
returned to the house, dressed his
daughter, Josephine, years old, and
took her to his brothers.
Marchesi then returned to the
house concealed the Ratchet and be-
gan wandering about the city. AS
the morning began to dawn, the spec
tiers that had haunted Marchesi all
night as he skunk through back
streets, drove him to hide in the base
ment of an Italian Catholic church.
In the darkness of the church base
ment he said, he heard the death
cries of his wife and saw horrid forms
of headless persons rushing at him
through the blackness.
AS the music of the morning mass
came family to his ears from the au-
ditorium above, he said that he
thought he distinguished the words
vengeance is mine, saith the Lord"
Then he rushed from his hiding place
went to the home of the priest and
sought relief in confessing what he
had done.
After the priest had turned Mar
chest over to the police, the slayer
told connected story of the crime,
pleading that he had felt justified in
killing the pair at the time the deeds
were committed. But that later he
was sorry that such horrid condi-
ton had crept into his life.

FERENDUM.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 27.-In
'efense of the present representative
| government of this country, Repre-
sentative Oscar w. Underwood, the
democratic majority leader in the
house, spoke tonight at a ainner
given in his honor by the Birming-
ham chamber of commerce.
ut is proposed by some" said Mr..
Underwood, that we shall in part alb
andon the representative government
enacted by our revolutionary fathers
and adopt system that in the end
would establish a direct democracy
when the ultimate powers to make
laws would be placed directly in the
hands of all the people and the in
dependent judiciary intended to pro-
tect the constitutional guarantees of
individual liberty, would become sub
sequent to the will of the majority
through political compulsion.'
Mr.. Underwood declared there was
far less danger. of enacting hasty, ill
considered legislation under the pre-
sent than under the proposed initia-
tive and referendum system. He adj
mitted that the latter system had
worked out satisfactorily in some
local matters when a distinct issue
that was clearly understood had been
presented to the people. He con.
tended, however, that the peoples
representatives were better able to
protect their interests on national
matters.
1t was the belief of the speaker
that congress always would ultimate
ly respond to the enlightened and
matured sentiment of the people and
cited the railroad rate legislation,
pure food laws, publicity of campaign
contribution measure as instances or
tbs response.
