CLOWN ADMITS CRIME
CONWAY coNFEssEs TO MURDER
OF SOPHIA SINGER.
Says He Killed Woman After She Hao
Attacked Him With Razor
Exonerates Wife.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Charles Y. Con-
way contested to the police that he
struck Miss Sophie G.. Singer, the Bal
timore heiress, last Monday night,
knocked her senseless with a cloth
covered door knob, stuffed towel
in her mouth and bound her, from
which treatment Miss Singer died.
1t was twenty-four hours almost to
the minute after his wife had brand
ed him as the girls slayer that the
wooden-footed clown" admitted his
guilt.
Conway corroborated the story his
wife had told in every essential point.
In this respect his story was a sur
prise to the police. They believed
the queen of burlesque" also had
played part in the killing. The
clown, however, took especial pains
to exonerate his wife.
She had nothing to do with it." he
insisted, ard he repeated this just as
earnestly after he had learned his
wife had accused him.
The gist of Conways story was to
the following effect:
Sophia came to the rooms where
we were living together and asked my
wife 70 go out with her with two men.
She wanted her to do something that
was immoral. That made me angry
and we got into quarrel. While we
were squabbling my wife left the
room When she had gone Sophia
sprang up in rage and attacked me
with the handkerchief containing the
doorknob.
Il snatched it out of her hand. AS
| did so she seized razor that was
upon by dresser. Then | struck her
with the weapon | had taken away
from her. Afterward l gagged her
and tied her up. | didn't think she
WIS dead. l had not meant to kill her.
But did not want her to give an
alarm. My wife did not think Sophia
was dead. After we had tied her
told my wife we would have to get
away. We went out the back way,
fled through an alley, and got street
car. We went to Hammond and
thence over tortuous course to Lima.

crowded street car. Irwin arrived in
Chicago to sell bonds. While riding
on the street car he was jolted by
three young men but gave the mat

the men leaped from the car Irwin
discovered his loss and hurried to the
detective bureau. The bonds were Of

Kansas City, No, Nov. 5.-"Both

sage received here from the American
aeronauts, John Watts and Arthur
T. Atherholt, who started in a borrow
ed balloon from Stuttgart, Germany,
one week ago in the Coupe Interna-
tionale Des Aeronautics. No news Of
the two men having been received for
several days after the start of the
race, the Kansas City Aero club sent
a dispatch to Washington asking that
three of the European governments be
asked to be on the lookout for the
men, and took other means of discov-
ering the Whereabouts of the missing
balloonists.
Their friends feared they had land
ed in the wilds OF Lapland, or in the
waters of the Arctic circle. They were
therefore much relieved when George
NJ Myers, president of t he Kansas
City Aero club received the following
cablegram dated Pskow, November 3:

Pskow is undoubtedly Pskof city
of 10000, capital of the government Of

message indicates that the Americans
have made a splendid record, going
close to a thousand miles from the

Cured. 1t took Doctor Titus two
hours to dress the wound but this
was because he became excited when
he learned the identity of his distin-
guished patient.
The governor called his own fam

was redressed. Doctor Carnochan
said that the injury was slight

must have been making an average
speed of about fifteen miles an hour
when we reached Hightstown when
red light appeared in the road ahead

the roaC and there was post TO the
right which cast a shadow over the
road. The chauffeur did not know
that this shadow concealed a mound

been made across the road. We struck

The accident was really not the
chauffeur's fault. There was shadow
across the road and he could not See
the mound. The chauffeur was not in

not hit the roof.

HOME IN POWDER MAGAZINE
Queer Spot Where Library of the
State University of Louisiana Had
Its Beginning.

The curious beginning of the Chi
sago public library, which was once
housed in an abandoned water-tank, is
matched by the library of the Louis
ana State university, which had it's
hrst quarters in an old powder maya
zine, asserts correspondent of the
Dial. The State university occupies
the buildings and grounds of the old
army post of Baton Rouge, which was
abandoned as result of the electoral
controversy of 1876-1S77. The follow
Ing extract from Fay's History of Ed
ucation in Louisiana" gives a descrip-
ton of the library as it VIZ from
1866 to 1903: Ear off to the lorth-
eastern corner Of the garrison inclos.
IRE is long, low building, entirely
without windows, save for two small
grated apertures at each of the mar
row ends, while for entrance heavy
iron door is swung in the center of
the southern front, place more like
a prison house than a scholars quiet
domicile among books. Few have ever
seen such building; and as you en-
es you to observe that you pass
through doorway whose walls are
i've or six feet thick. Within, the
room presents an equally strange
sight. Along the walls book shelves
extend around the whole PARALLEL
gram, save for the trifing space of
the small windows. The ceiling is
so low that you can almost touch it at
the bookcases. but it rises in low
heavy arches, only to sink again arch
wise on massive square pillars in the
center of the room. Thus are formed
two long corridors with low arches
that fall into a succession of vaults
down the passage. The central pillars
are grit around with square book
shelves, all with their burden of vol
umes.
THE. building was the old powder
magazine of the barracks when sol
diers, and not scholars, were station
ed there. You would think it dark;
but the Wilderness of the ceiling coun.
teracts in some measure the def.
cheney of apertures for light. and on
fair days, at least, one reads without
difficulty until after sunset So thick
are the walls that it is cool there on
hot summer days, and never very
cold on the rawest days the southern
winter affords"
Since the books have been re-
moved to a more modern structure,
the power magazine has been used
as storage place for agricultural i'm.
plements, farm produce and expert
ment station publications.
