Macon. Gas December 27-Mrs. James King, widow of the prominent Round Oak, Ga, planter who was killed near here December 12, tonight confessed that she plotted with Nicholas Wilburn. a ! farm hand, 10 kill her husband so that she might marry Wilburn and secure s2ooo life insurance carr;ed by her hus- ! band
 The widow of the dead man was ar rested today after Wilburn had confessed to the police that he shot and killed King because Mrs. King offered him s6o9 to commit the crime and promised to marry him.
 In her confession, Mrs. King declared that if it had not been for the S2oOo in- surance policy she never would have planned to kill her husband.
 For more than two hours after her arrest the woman refused to discuss the tragedy. Detectives related to her details of Wiburn's confession and finally she collapsed, crying:
 Do you think God will forgive ns s2' Then with eo9 as ny h9l. \ wai tel you all. for I cannot meet my God with a lie on my lips. ASK the people to have mercy on me, not for myself, but for my children
 Tells of Plot
 Last March, added Mrs. King. Nick Wilburn and myself were sitting alone in my dining room Mex told me that he didn't have friend in the world, and batting him on the back ] told him would be his friend. From that time on we were very friendly. We met at frequent intervals and had signals so that l could let Nick know when my husband was away from home
 Had 1t not been for the 5000 insur- anee we would never have planned to kill my husband. My first attempt was to l1i,l him with strychnine. Nick bought the stryehnine and We put it in my hls- bands whisky. When he became death ly sick he took an antdote and recov- cred.
 Tt was then that We planned to shoot him. Nick told me that we could catch him out hunting and kill him with his own gun. The day of the killing MT. King was sick The doctor told him that he should not eat pork so he took his gun and went into the woods to kill some birds. He left home aDout 3:S0 in the afternoon and when he had been gone about an hour Nick came. l told him my husband had gone hunting and he said, Now is our time' and l said, yes.
 When my husband did not return l knew he was dead and sent Johnny Gordon and Frank WfDurn, my son-in- law to hunt for him. After they had gone Nick told me that ii was all over We did not discuss the killing until De- cember 17. when Detective Moore called to talk with me. After Moore left Nick told me he knew they suspected him. but I told him to brace up and give nothing away even if he was on a scaffold with rope around his neck. I did not be- lieve he would give me away. When Nick was arrested l made up my mind I would go to the galows before would tell word.

 Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson, after converting court to receive any re- ports from the jurors, ordered an ad- journment until 9:20 a. m. tomorrow with the understanding that the ver- diets, should they be found, would not be returned until that time.
 While government officials expressed confidence that the jury would report tomorrow, attorneys for the defense stated it would require longer time. There are 66 offenses charged against if it chooses may ballot on each charge as to each defendant, making a total of 1040 charges thus to be disposed of.
 All the deliberations of the jurors are conducted in room near their liv- ing quarters on the third floor of the a private stairway cut off from the building. On the same floor at another end of the building are the quarters of the confessed dynamiters-Ortie E. McManigal and Edward Clark-who ap- peared as witnesses for the government. That there may be no basis for any reports as to the jury's progress ev- cry approach leading to the quarters Is guarded.

which led to my being alone on the

cracked and warped from exposure to

feet OF straight line the road crossed

Of $50 to 400 feet radius.
