CONFESSION
WILLIAM LEE ADMITS
HE KILLED HIS FATHER
Claims Elder Man Had Slain
Mother and Brother When He
Interferedi Story Receives
Little Credence,


Bonneville, Ind, Aug. S5.-Weaken-
ed by continuous questioning almost
thirty hours. William Lee, late today
made written statement in which
he said he had killed his father,
Richard Lee. in self defense, after the
father had murdered his wife and
younger son. Clarence
The bodies of Lees father. mother
and brother were found In their
burning home yesterday and Lee was
charged with their murder. After his
statement today Sheriff Scales. fear
ing the prisoner would be lynehed,
secretly took MIN TO Evansville. Lit
lie eredence is placed in his eenfes-
sion. Lee, who is 22 years old, re-
iterated his story that he knew moth
ing OF the circumstances of the kill
ing of his family until late today,
when he suddenly changed his mind
and calling for paper and pencil. he
wrote as follows:
Il was awakened by a noise and
went into the bedroom where my
father, mother and brother slept AS
| opened the door | saw that my
mother and brother were murdered.
Ny father sprang at me, AK in hand,
exclaiming, II will get YOU, too"
Il grabbed the ak awcy from him
and hit him over the head with It.
| could smell coal oil and | found oil
had already been poured over the bed.
Just because matches We're handy, and
/ did not know what else to do | set
fire to the bed clothing and then gave
the alarm of fire
Il have something preying on my
mind Lee said when he asked for
the paper and pencil according to
Sheriff Scales.
The streets about the Jail We're
crowded all day, with townspeople
and farmers. Threats Of mob. vio-
lenee were heard on every hand and
the sheriff feared that when Lees
statement became public 1t would be
impossible to protect him. A motor
car was obtained and Lee was hur-
Irled under heavy guard to Evansville
On the theory that the murderer of
the Lees had thrown pick axe into
a pond near their home, the pond was
dragged, but without result.
The town authorities are now con-
vinced that the murders all We're done
with the ak that was found covered
with blood in the home, after william
Lee had given the alarm of fire and
the fire put out
The motive ascrlbed by the officials
in charging Lee with the murders is
that he wished to obtain money with
which to be married to his fiancce
Nina Taylor. Cash amounting TO a
hundred dollars said to have been in
the Lee home on Wednesday, has not
been found. Tn lives Of Richard and
Clarence Lee were insured for 800.
William Lee is known to have quar-
relied with his parents because they
opposed him marriage.
At cemetery near Newburg where
the burial of the Lees took place this
afternoon, Miss Taylor tainted when
the three coffns were lowered into
one wide grave She was carried to
her home in a serious condition. A
crowd of several thousand persons
watched the hearse and carriages

UNFOLDING Public Policy.

An economic, practical, human argu.
ment has won in the Wisconsin supreme
court. The workmen's compensation
act, which assures justice to the vic.
Tins of industrial accidents, has been
upheld, The principle of money compen-
sation for loss of wages due to accidents
in the course OF employment has been
formulated into court tested law. The
Wisconsin law, optional as it is, to es,
cape the dangerous rocks Of the four
teenth amendment and other constitu.
tional provisions, gives to employers the
chance to prove by written record wheth-
er they are willing to treat their human
workmen as well as they treat their ma
chinery and other producing equipment.
Every employer who elects to come I'M
der the law proves by his action that he
believes in justice,
Strange as it may seem, this principle
of paying for repairs to human limb in
much the same manner as employers
pay for repairs to worn-out or damaged
machinery, has been in the balance for
months. The constitution and few
hundred years of legal presidents raised
a doubt as to whether this sort of JUS
tiee could be made reality. The Wis
oonsin supreme court has answered,
yes 1t has done more. 1t has said,
through Justice Winslow, who wrote the
opinion, that it is to the interest of all
society that work-aceidents should be
an expense of industry that the victims
of these accidents should not become

"our Dumb Animals"

Managing Editor Guy Richardson, New
Hampshire son, is entitled to eongratu-
,ation on the fact that his paper, Our
Dumb Animals" published monthly by
the Massachusetts, Society for the Pre-
yention of Cruelty TO Animals, comes
out with new dress Tor the January
number. 1t is now a real magazine, with
cover printed in four colors, with cuts
Of horse, a dog and cat below the
title, while space below holds an en-
craving to be changed each month. The
paper is now nearly foTty-four years old.
1t has never been a paying proposition,
but its new form, with coated paper
cover. new type and a limited number
of advertisements, is likely to increase
its circulation. In an editorial comment
on its new form, DR., Francis II. Rowley,
president of the society and Boscaweu
summer resident, says:
cat heart, Our Dumb Animals is the
same champion and defender Of animal
rights that it always has been, that Mr..
Angell so effectively made it. We be-
lieve he would be pleased to see IL move
forward with the times. A new cover,
new type, better paper, have not altered
its spirit. Its policy is still the same

The Burial of the Maine.

The suggestion that the wreck of the
Maine be sold at auction and carved into
bits for sale as souvenirs was about
the most ghoulish idea that ever found
utterance in Congress. We can all be
thankful that the proposal received the
stinging rebuke it deserved and that a
sea burial for the old ship is now as.
sured Certain portions Of the huh will
be distributed about the country as
public memorials. The rest will be
tcwed to sea and sunk with fitting cere-
monies.
The bleaching bones in Havana har-
Dor have been monument to that Pc

be regarded as an attribute of a repub-

must make the most of the belief that
our emotions are deep and abiding, for
all their slow, dumb beginnings. Let
us hope that when the guns of our

The dominant feature of Christmas in
Boston is coming to be, more and more
the effort to make Christmas a really
happy holiday for the poor and tho
unfortunate. More money seems to have
been expended on them this year than
ever before, and there has been greater
willingness on the part Of the well-to,do
to give freely of time, thought and
pains. All in all, probably the cold
Bostonian does far more than the resi-
dent of any other great city to help his
down-and out and struggling brothers.

The experience of Boston is getting
to be the experience of the country as
a whole. The joy of making unfortu.
mates glad is superseding the exhilara-
ton of giving and receiving presents
among the fortunates. The better in
depreciation of the Christmas idea is
thus being reached.

If we are not to call of the farmers
six farmhands and not to derye hat they

happen to be employed by the man

take the opposite view in the actual ease

strictive power over the citizenship Of
his six farmhands as Mr.. DeBoer has
over the agents in the employ Of his

power of intimidation Insurance agents
