Murdsrs-Evidcnce Indicates he is
Guilty Of Some Of Crimes - Negro
Suspected in Leesson Murder.

Chicago. Oct. IA speedy trial for
the murderer of Mrs. Mildred Allison
Rexroat on Sept %. was today prom
ised Henry Spencer. whose confession
of twenty murders woven by an opium
clouded brain dumfounded the police.
The authorities will continue to inves-
tigate his fantastic stories In the hope
Of establishing further facts,
His admission of the ReXroat crime
is substantiated, he is known to have
committed many of the large number
Of burglaries he has confessed and
there is possibility that he may have
slain Mrs. Annabel Wight last Decem-
Der. This woman was beaten to death
and robbed by . man who had rented
a room.
While the investigation of his So

Tins were Chicagoans will go on. Spen-

found who might identify him for
crimes. In few days he will be turned

Standing Of Confession.
This morning the situation was as
follows:
Spencer's story Of the killing Of Mrs.
Rexroat practically had been confirmed
and he had been indicted for the crime
by the Dupake county grand jury.
His statement that he had killed a
woman in 1919 near the county hos
pital" was In part substantiated by po-
lice records and q partial identifca-
ton.
Two restaurant holdups Of the fifty
or sixty to which he had confessed
had been fastened upon him by victims
who identified him.
Important evidence which may lead
to the early arrest Of the murderers OF
Policemen Penpell and Devine had
been obtained from Spencer. but 1t had
been established that his confession
that he had killed them was false.
Search Of police records in many
cities had revealed that many of the
crimes Confessed" by Spencer had
never been committed. or II they had
the bodies Of the victims had never
been found.
INQUIRY had established that at the
time Spencer told of committing some
crimes he was in the penitentiary.
Persons listed as victims" by Spen-
Ger in his Confession" have been
found alive.
Stories told by Spencer. of his
Grimes have been found in direct
variance with the facts known con-
cerning these Grimes"
Doubt Twenty Were Killed.
Staggered by Spencer's first story.
and later by Its contradictions thru
Spencer and others. the police and
county officials are working with open
minds"
They do not say that they believe
Spencer's sotry that he has killed a
score or more persons. They do not
say they disbelieve 1t. They are look
ing into records and making investiga-
tions, willing that in the end the facts
shall speak for themselves.
