WILL D|SINTER
PUBLISHER BODY
COURT ORDERS THAT BODY BE
EXHUMED FOR IDENTIFICATION
BY NEGRESS.

Chicago, Sept. 27-County Judge
Owens today ordered the Forest
Home Cemetery association to ex-
hume the body Of William Henry
Lee, wealthy publisher who died
leaving a 100000 estate and no
known heirs, and permit Mrs. Lucin-
da Anderson, negress, who claims
she is the dead publishers widow, to
attempt an identification.
Lee several years ago bought n
lot from the cemetery association
and entered into a contract for his
burial after he had written into
the contract a provision that under
no circumstances should his body
be exhumed after burial. The court
order was obtained TO overrule this
contract provision.

AND TELLS OF PLANS LEADING
UP TO 14E MURDER.

of how the state claims Charles T

Barring every incident OF the plot
which he said had been born months
before the crime was committed Bel
lew told a weird story and in re-
markable manner How McKinzie
grew to hate Reuter- as he learned to
love the wife, how he planned to kill
the attorney and finally hired Joe
Baker TO do the murder for 5000 and
lastly the details of the night of the
killing, and the wild ride that follow
ed, Bellew told without fiinchu3
The defendant, who at first viewed
the self-styled accomplice With cold
smile, became emotional when he
reached that part Of the story where
the visit of Baker to the Reu'eT hCmc
was described. She sobbes aloud as
he implicated her directly in the
crime.
At the outset the defense assailed
the credibility OF Bellew on the con-
tention that his confession was the
result OF a corrupt agreement with
the prosecution by which immunity
was guaranteed in a written docu-
ment now in possession OF Bellows
sister. Trial Judge Hudson overruled
the objection without hearing argu-
ment from counsel.

Belew said he had been acquainted
with Baker for about four years, and

killing, he testified, he was employed
by Mckenzie as chauffeur lie as

from then on they discussed and
worked over the plan to do away with
the lawyer almost daily.

Witness then narrated occurrences
leading up to the killing and told all
that was done and said by the alleged
conspirators until the night of the ira
gedy. He explained at length the
preparations made.
He and Baker left the Mackenzie
barn at ! o'clock on the morning Of
Sunday, May 5, he testified. Baker
walked around and he drove the au-
tomobile to the point where they were
to meet after everything was finished.
Joe met him as arranged, he said, and
they drove away to the Usage hills
where all the clothing was destroyed,
and the money and diamonds, revol-
yer, flashlight and mask were hidden.
Joe pictured to me how the rob
berry and killing had been done" Bel
lew said. "He told me he entered
the Reuterhouse through the basement
door, went upstairs and locked Mrs
Reuter- in her room, and then walked
into the bedroom Of Reuter-. He jab-
bed the revolver into Reuters ribs,
and when the sleeping man was arous-
ed, made him hand over the money
and diamonds. He then shot Reuter-
through the head and fired again as
the body was falling, but the shot

floor he shot once more. Joe said

where, for nobody knows how many
weary miles.
He stood with bowed and detected

The heart OF the little girl swelled
with sudden feeling of cOmradeship.
The heaven-born emotion of sympa-

Then she picked up her pail and
