that Bonner conceived was one or
revenge. He wanted to make the
girl suffer for the jilts she had
offered him. Now that the boy
ish passion Is dead and he realiz-
es what a serious thing he has
done. he says he is sorry, and
wants to plead guilty at once
and be hanged. He said:
''Today see the error of my
reasoning. I killed the thing l
loved; the brown eyes, the pretty
face; have destroyed and the
girl does not suffer. Only my
mother and brother and Ber-
nice's family suffer and every
thing that 1 loved is gone.
Consequences do not brighten
me. They probably win hang mo
but am ready. I'll plead guilty
and have it all over"
