SAYS GIRL CONFESSED
Miss Farley Admitted Shooting
When Told Sweetheart Was
Accused, Police Testify.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, November 14.-Po-
lice officers today admitted on the wit
ness stand in the Farley trial that
Cecilia Farley. the young stenographer
who is charged with the murder of Alvin
E. Zollinger, an advertising solicitor. did
not confess to having done the shooting
until she was told that Jerome Quigley.
the man whom she was to marry, was
accused.
Attorneys for the defense claim that
the girl made false confession because
of her love for Quigley, and because OF
her fear that Quigley would have to suf-
fer for the shooting.
Believes Others Back Of Crime.
Il believe that the girl did the shooting
but that some other person was back OF
it." declared former Police Chief Charles
E. Carter, who testified today for the
prosecution. The girls alleged confes.
sion at the time of her arrest was re-
lated to the jurors several times by vari.
Gus police officials to whom she Is said
to have made the confession.
They declared that Immediately follow
ing her arrest Miss Farley had told then
that Zollinger had committed suicide BY
shooting himself.
Shot in Back Of Head.
The state is making much of the fac,
that Zollinger was shot in the back of the
head. The states attorneys declare tina,
If the story of the defense-that Zollinger
was shot while struggling with Miss Far
ley for possession of the revolver-is true
it would have been difficult for the gun to
be fired in such a manner as to infiict a
wound in the back of the head.
Jerome Quigley, who was engaged to
marry Miss Farley at the time Of the
shooting, probably will be brought face
to face with his sweetheart in the court
room late today, when he takes the wit
ness stand for the prosecution
The young people have not met since
last May.
Attorneys for the state expect to rest
their case today.
