 FOR MURDER
Much Married Young Interne Is Accused of Staying Third Woman He
 Had Welded
SHOWS ODD FEATURES

OREGON. h.. Jan. 10.-Intense in terest is manifested in this section in the approaching trial for pr. Harry Elgin Webster. the young Chicago physician who is charged with hay ing murdered his wife and thrown her body into a lonely rayine in the south western part of this country on Sep tember lG, last. IL is expected the case will come to trial in the ogle county court next week. though the defense will make a hard fight for 9 continuance.
 Webster's case is one of the most interesting in the criminal annals of northern Illinois. The young man was reared in this section and his youth held forth every promise Of a bright future His ambition to secure a medical education was fulfilled through the assistance of his parents and sisters who denied themselves in order that he might have the money necessary to go through a Chicago medical college.
 The victim of the murder, Mrs, Bessie Kent Webster. is said 10 have been the third wife of the young
 
 he is said to have married Miss May B. Graf, a young Chicago woman who later divorced him for desertion and cruelty. A year ago this month Dr. Webster married Miss Zoe Varney of Cedar Rapids, la. The same week. according Co the facts brought to light by the police investigation, he secretarly married Miss Bessie Kent, a young nurse whom he met in the Chicago hospital in which he was serving as an interne
 His love of his second wife, Mrs. Zoe Varney Webster, is believed to have furnished the motive for his desire to rid himself of his third wife His term of service as an in- terne was about finished and it was his intention to join his second wife and establish himself in the practice oi his profession.
 On the morning of September 16 he is alleged to hare lured Mrs. Bes- sic Kent Webster away from Chicago on the preteXt that he wished her 10 meet his parents who resided near the town of Dixon. Arriving at Dix on the couple drove away in an auto mobile and that was the last time the young woman was seen alive. Some days later her body was found con cealed in a ravine. The victim had met death through a knife wound in the back of the neck which the medi cal examiners declared could have been inflicted only by a person having a knowledge of surgery. There was evidence that the young woman was dTugged before she was killed.
 The discovery of the body led to the arrest a few days later of the hus- band of the victim. Following his arrest Dr. Webster is said to have admitted the murder, but later denied that he had made any confession. In view of the strong evidence against him it is generally believed that the defense will make a plea of insanity
