tel room, where lay the body Of his

bers OF the wife's family, Ellis aban.
doned his assertion, made at first
TO the police, that the tragedy was
the result Of a suicide pact. He as
sumed the entire blame for the kill
Ing and devoted his statement to oh.
iiterating the impression, given in his
first interview with the police. that
jealousy was the cause of the crime.
Ellis, suffering from a bullet
wound In his chest and from cuts on
his wrist and throat, self-infllcted in
his abortive attempt to commit sui
eide after killing his wife, listened al
most all day to the testimony in the

body afterward with a. knife"
Ellis, almost in a collapse, begged
to be allowed to take farewell OF his
Wiie's body. He was allowed to do
SO and pressed his lips repeatedly to
her face.
From testimony, it appeared tina.

wife, beautiful woman, IL years
younger than himself, late Wednes-

Intellectual efforts to kill himself.

New York, Oct. 2O.--Visions of E
hunger strike in America by the leader
of the English militant suffragettes TO,
a time worried the immigration off
Gals at Ellis island when Mrs. EN-
incline Pankhurst, after being barred
from landing and ordered deported by
the authorities, declared she would not
eat until she was given permission to
land. But when Mrs. .Pankhurst was
notified that she would be given right
to appeal to Washington, and that her
attorneys already had taken steps for
this appeal, she changed her mind and
held the hunger strike in allegiance.
She was told by her attorney that the
Washington authorities had given as.
surance that Mrs. Pankhurst would be
released under bond.
Militant Smiles Broadly.
On receiving this news, Mrs. Pank

would like something to eat. She dis.

urday and forced to stand an exami-

Mrs. Pankhurst eloquently defended
her action in England. 1t was all for

fronted with alleged acts of herself
and followers involving moral turp1.
tude, she dramatically exclaimed:
IF what I have been guilty of in
my fight for the right of English WON.

forefathers who fought in the revo]u-
tionary war and the men who spilled

Mrs. Pankhurst bitterly denounced
the special inquiry board for the man.
ner in which it conducted the inquiry.
Its members were equipped with in.
Vulnerable clippings from the British
newspapers setting forth what she and
her followers had done. And when
the board finally announced that she
was undesirable and would be re-
turned to England, she shouted:
All right, il you can stand it, then
can, too. But want to warn you
that will not eat single morsel of
food while l am detained prisoner
here at this station"
Mrs. Pankhursts outbreak followed
the announcement of the special board
of inquiry that 1t held the English sui.

her excluded from this country. She
will, however, be granted the right of
an appeal to Washington.
