MAY REPEAT HIS CONFESSION
coRoNER's INQUEST OVER BODY
OF SLAIN BALTIMORE GIRL.
Chicago Circus Clown Who Admits
Deed Remains
Cheerful.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Charles Newton
Kramer. circus clown, acrobat and
high diver, who confessed to having
killed Miss Sophia Gertrude Singer Of
Baltimore, Md, It is believed, will re-
peat his tragic story of the murder to-
day when the coroner's inquest over
the body of the victim is resumed.
Mrx. Kramer, who gave the police
the first definite information that her
husband killed Miss Singer. and sew
eral others also will testify. Kramer
end his wife are being held at a South
Side police station without bail.
Kramer, who has wooden leg, con-
tinues to jest about his predicament
and seems in . jolly mood.
Under the law they can't hang a
man with wooden leg in this state"
be said.
How is THAR" inquired q police
officer
Because the law states a rope must
be used" the prisoner replied with a
laugh.
Police Captain Nootba had Kramer
before him in his private Office for
more than an hour Sunday.
Before he would affix his signature
to the confession he had made, Kra-
mer insisted on making a number Of
unimportant changes. He made the
correction in his own handwriting and
over each change he inserted his ini-
tails in order, % he expressed it, that
the police could not put anything
over on him." S&P
The police viii endeavor to show
that Miss Singer was the victim of
premeditated robbery. In support of
this theory, the police point out that
the clothes line which Kramer used to
bind Miss Singer was taken from the
back yard at 6 O'clock in the evening,
several hours before the murder was
committed His explanation of this
is that his wife asked him to get the
clothes line SO that she might dry
some clothes in their room.
