POISONING
WOMAN

LANSING, Mich, Dec. IL. -
Mrs. Mary Lucas confessed here
today to having poisoned Mrs.
Pauline Singel, pleading that the
act was justified. She denied
that she had murdered other per-
sons, but the police are digging
up the cellar of her home here,
in the belief that her case rivals
that of the Guinness murders.
Carl Miller, a boarder at the
Lucas home, disappeared seven
months ago and the police assert
the woman later sought to gain
possession of his property. Some
time ago Mrs. Lucas and her hus-
band went to Nebraska, the
woman returning here alone, say
ing her husband had died sud-
denly.

WRIGHT ORDERED
TO FINISH UP

The city council took another
whirl at the George Wright steel
pipe this morning. Yesterday it
voted he should finish up the
work without testing the pipe,
but must give bond for six
months to the city guaranteeing
it.
Today the council rescinded
the six months bond part and
just ordered him to finish his
contract.
Later the city will try to col
lect from Wright what he saves
by not testing the pipe.
