Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov lG.-After

from the eleven, pending investiga-
tion Of charges of professionalism
against him, the Minnesota athletic
board today decided not to cancel

opinion of the board members was
that it was not advisable to take any
action looking towards severance OF
relations with Wisconsin or with the
conference until the present agitation
blew over.
The Minnesota board, however,
adopted resolution declaring that

With Admitted by His

Most Amazing Confession

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 16.-7Admit-
ting that there is no defense except
insanity for Bertram G.. Spencer, the
self-confessed murder, burglar and
assailant of women anc children. the
attorneys for the defense today began
the submission of evidence to prove
that Spencer's mental condition is such
that he can not be held fully respon-
s'ble for the long list of crimes he
admitted.
Making no effort to keep from the
jury the most amazing confession
known TO New England police. Spen-
GERS lawyers pleaded with the court
that certain revolving details involv-
ing his attack upon women, he omitted
from the recital. that the jurors and
public might be spared from hearing
the horrible, story.
While Captain John Boyle. of the
police, testified as to Spencer's con-
fcssions to him. the prisoner raved
and shouted and cursed in the little
pen where he is confined in the court
room. His lawyers are pointing to his
conduct as bearing out their inten-
tion that his mind is unbalanced. Their

the rest of his life in a state Insane
asylum.
,Spencer's confession detailed twenty
four robberies and hold-ups, besides
the burglary in the fashionable Round
hill district. where he killed Miss Mar
tina Blackstone, the crime for which
he is on trial.
lFully realizing that the most she
can hope for is the acquittal Of her
son on the ground of insanity, which
means life Imprisonment in an asy-
lafn, Mrs. *. Il. Spencer, aged moth
er of the accused took the witness
stand today to lay bare the happen
ing in the family history tending to
prove the insanity of the defendant.
When his mother began her testi-
mony, Spencer seemed to have re-
gained his self-control but later on
broke into fit of groaning and writh-
ing that several times caused halt
in the trial.
Mrs. Spencer testified that when
the prisoner was very young he ex-
hibited signs of insanity both when
awake ana while asleep.
