From the St. Louis Post- Dispatch.
 NvILLE, Ind. Alienists
 N throughout the country are
 1 manifesting a great deal of in-
 terest in William Lee. the youth who
 killed his father. mother and brother
 with an ax and then set fire to the
 family home In a vain effort to de-
 strov the evidence of his crime.
 Those who have gone deeply into the
 history of the Lee family believe they
 have uncovered enough data on the life of the young murderer to prove he
 was bred for such an end.
 His father was a convicted thief and
 served a year in the Indiana reforma- tory 30 years ago for larceny. The father came back from his imprison- ment and lived In the vicinity where he was convicted, bringing his boys up in the shadow of his crime. Through his childhood days William Lee led a life apart from other little boys of the neighborhood, and when a new pupil appeared at the little school and began to learn who was who, someone always whispered to him that Willie Lees father has been in prison"
 Living down the criminal career of
 his father might not have been so hard if the father himself had been kind. but he was nothing of the sort. As a boy, the present prisoner was
 cruelty whipped at frequent intervals by his father. Now that the history of the Lee family Is under review neigh bors remember how Willie Lee often appeared with bleeding wounds, the re- suit of brutal punishment by his fath-
 CT, who often whipped the boy until
 blood ran from cuts of the whip. | Added to this the father had a habit of cursing his son and using the most vile epithets in addressing him. Who | the mother was is not stated In the
 resume of the family history Little seems to be known of her antecedents.
 She did not marry Lee until after he served his time for larceny, and the fact of her linking her future with a confessed criminal Is taken as evidence that crime did not seem appalling to her.
 As the oldest boy grew up the moth- CT took the usual course and defend ed her son against the violent anger of his father. She also allowed her
 maternal love to become a menace to

the boy by not insisting on his doing for his personal expenses. The boy was loafer and his mother didn't seem to care. Neither did his father seem to regard this as a calamity, and, while he cursed his son, he did not seem to regard his chronic idleness as a menace to the boys future.
 The lack of character in the young man is shown very fully in the plans he had completed for marrying Miss Nina Taylor, IT years old, with no oc- cupation, no income of any sort on which to support her. The night of the murder he hired horse ad buggy from local livery stable to take "his girr' out riding, without enough money to pay for the use of the rig, the &C., count being charged to his mother.
 As he was to have been married two days later, the irresponsiblity of the young man is evident.
 In one of his confessions Lee says he and an older brother, since dead agreed to kill their father. This was when William was 12 years old, and the eoiHPdct was made as he lay moaning with pain and with blood running from stripes on his back inflicted by his father during one of the periodical beatings by which the son was edu- cated by the father up to the degree of brutality shown by the son when he killed his parents ana younger brother with an ax.
 Around his home Lee was regarded as morose and shiftless boy. During his school days he found that being A convicts son barred him from having place with other boys and girls of the community and this made him sullen. condition probably contributed to by the shame of appearing at intervals bearing physical evidence of parental brutality and having the other children whisper to each other that Willie Lees father has licked him again." The confession made by Lee is com plete and leaves no room for a de- fense. He admits everything, from the blows of the ak by which the skulls of his father, mother and brother were crushed, to setting fire to the house How he can do otherwise than plead guilty, after signing such confession. Is not easy to conjecture, and this will probably be his course when his case ! Is called in October.

UNTOLD HISTORY OF WEBSTER.
In 1922 the Boston Orator Was a
State Representative.

From the Boston GLOBE.
One interesting episode in the political
life of Daniel Webster overlooked by
biographers was Mr.. Webster's member
ship in the lower branch of the Massa-
chusetts legislature in 1922. No one of
the many biographical encyclopedias in
the Globe library notes such thing.
Webster at that time had become a
man of mark His speeches in the state
constitutional convention of 1870 had all
stamped Webster as one of the foremost
orators.
1t is no wonder. therefore, that one who
had so suddenly risen of that day should
have been sought for political preferment,
and a seat in the Massachusetts, house
of representa- was the form in which
this public admiration for Webster took
shape.

city government in 1870 was the issuance

Charleston dispatches indicate
that Governor Glasscock stands Arm
" by his intention 10 call an extra
session OF the legislature. While the
Intelligencer has doubted the wisdom
Of this decision. II does not doubt
the sincerity or the good motives that
inspire the chief executive. II recog-
niEes also that he has sources Of in
formation that are not open TO all
persons. and that he may have as
surances that Justify him with the
belief that valuable action will be
secured from the legislature. What
ever the result. one thing IS certain.
That is. the influence OF the chief
executive will be exercised IN every
honorable and proper manner 70 Sc

THE AUDITORIUM PROJECT.

BY returning the auditorium ordin-
ance TO the city clerk without action.
Mayor schmidt allows this measure
to become law. He thereby assures.
so far as legal proceedings on the
part OF the city can do, the under
taking the completion OF a project
for valuable public improvement The
course taken by the mayor is in &C
cordance with the expectations Of the
Intelngencer. After the decisive &C
ton OF council in passing the ordin-
ance second time, and after the al
most overwhelming expression OF
public sentiment, it was inconceivable
that Mayor Schmidt would put him
self in further opposition 70 this
measure. During his various admin
Istrations the mayor has uniformly.
IT may be said. supported and en-
couraged public improvements. His
objections TO the auditorium ordin-
ance in its original form. the Intelli-
gencer believes. were not OF sufficient
importance TO Justify a veto, but
nevertheless It is a happy conclusion
that the ordinance has finally been
enacted into law.
Now all legal obstacles have been
brushed aside. and the promoters OF
this splendid enterprise are free to
go ahead along well-established bust
ness lines. IL is project that
means much for the city. It means
the Identification OF a portion OF the
city that needs Identification. II
means the attraction OF many large
gatherings to the city. II means the
employment OF labor. In short, Il
means all these things that make n
better municipality. The enterprise
deserves the encouragement OF every
progressive citizen. and the Intelli-
gencer believes there are enough pro-
gressive citizens in Wheeling TO make
It a success.

three months. II has before It the re-
port OF two auditing bodies and the

less they have not lifted a finger or
made the slightest move towards re-
covering the public money. II might
be unkind TO suggest that the fact
that the board might have TO sue
some Of its own members is one
OF the reasons for failure to bring the
suit, but nevertheless the public will
not overlook that fact. In the mean
while the essential thing is that these

move TO bring them has been started.
No amount OF buster or silly slush
