The Chicago police, holding Spencer,
refuses to permit service, declaring
that he is their prisoner and has con-
fessed enough crimes in Chicago,
murders and robberies. to warrant his
being held for trial in this city.
While the police had obtained
satisfactory confirmation of Spencer's
confession that he killed Mrs. Rex

several of the other "a murders were

dence had been obtained supporting
the confession that Spencer had killed
Mrs Anabel Wight in Chicago.
When he was questioned briefly to-
day, Spencer admitted that he had
fessed. and about others he said he
was mistaken. He still insists that
his victims numbered more than a
score.
Particular attention is being paid
by the police to fixing the crime of
killing Mrs. Rexroat on Spencer. be-
cause it was admitted the police have
