It was known that at the same time

B|GAM|ST KILLED
WIFE NUMBER 2
CHICAGO INFERNO SAYS WOMAN
FOUND SLAIN NEAR DIXON
WAS HIS VICTIM.
MYSTERY IS QUICKLY CLEARED
Committed Crime to Hide Marital ov.
pIicity From First Mate
Makes q Full
Confession.

Chicago, Oct. DIR. Harry Elgin
Webster, a Rush Medical college grad.
uate student and inferno at the Poly.
clinic hospital, in a remarkable con.
fession to the police, admitted that he
murdered one of his two young wives.
Bessie Kent Webster Of Chicago, In
the woods of Ogle county. ten miles
from Dixon, H., Sept. is. The au.
thorities declare that the motive for
the crime was Webster's desire to
hide from his first wife, Zoe Varney
Webster, of Cedar Rapids, Ia, the fact
that he was bigamist. He had mar.
ried the two women within one week
last January.
The accidental discovery of Bessie
Kent's body, almost two weeks after
she had been killed, was followed by
Identification and the arrest of Web
ster.
The young medical student was ar.
rested at the hospital shortly after he
had left Zoe Varney Webster, wife
number one, at down town hotel.
where he had attempted to explain his
marital duplicity to his first wife. She
had been greatly shocked by her hus,
bands revelations. but he had con.
WINGED her that he knew nothing OF
the murder near Dixon.
Rarely has q complex police case.
with 80 many complications, unfolded
with more rapidly. Mrs. Webster
number one was waiting at the Chi.
cago & Northwestern railroad station
for a train to Dixon when the police
found her.
One of the peculiar features Of the
case was the manner in which the
Chicago police work compared with
that of the country officials who came
to Chicago to arrest the murderer.
The credit for solving the murder mys.
terry belongs to w. p. Delany, sheriff
Of Ogle county, and w. p. Emerson.
assistant states attorney In the same
county.
Webster, still hopping his eyes with
his handkerchief and the back Of HE
hand, began the story Of his life from
birth. He said that he was born IN
Freeport, ILL.,, in 1882 He led up to
his education in Rush Medical col.
lege and, finally, to his meeting and
lnfatuation with Bessie Kent. But, he
continued. he had not thought Of mar.
rying her. Miss Kent. he said, was
to be a "chum" and not wife.
II really was in love with Zoe Var
ney, whom I married Jan. 4 in Cedar
Rapids" he said.
"Still Bessie followed me. She was
80 insistent that agreed to marry
her and the ceremony was performed
In a Justices office in the county
building Just week after my marriage
to Zoe."
Bessie was to get q divorce. but
failed to do SO. and an application
made by the doctor failed. He at
tempted to leave her. but she fol-
lowed him to Dixon and demanded t.
see his parents. He took her for .
drive into their country to gain time.
their quarrel increased and he finally
killed her.
