CUDDLES BODY OF
WOMAN HE KILLED

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-Winiam Ellis.
the rich Cincinnati leather dealer. who
late yesterday made a narrowing con-
fession of the murder OF his wife, was
held by the %coroner's jury and faces
trial on a charge of first degree MUIR
der. Ellis cleared the name of his dead
wife OF all suspicion and charges his
deed TO momentary insanity induced by
business reverSeS.
After a conference with members OF
his wife's family. Ellis abandoned his
assertion, made at first, to the police,
that the tragedy was the result of a
suicide pact. He assumed entire blame
for the killing and devoted his state
ment to celebrating the impression
given in his first view with the police
that jealousy was the motive for the
crime.
Ellis, suffering from a bullet wound
in his chest and from cuts on his wrist
tive attempt to commit suicide. after
killing his wife, listened imost all day
to the testimony in the coroner's court.
His confession was made in a few
words.
q will state that i shot my wife"
he said. IL suppose my min must
have been affected. i was worried over
business trouble and the state of my
health. ] want TO say that my wife
was the grandest little woman in the
world and the most virtuous. There
was no trouble between us. She could
not do anything wrong.
She was in bed when I shot her. She
did not know what / was going to do.
/ did not have any intention of doing
this when l came to Chicago. / shot
her first and gashed her afterward
With a knife"
Ellis, in a state approaching col
lapse, begged to be allowed to AXE
farewell of his wife's body. He was
allowed to see it and pressed his lips
repeatedly to the face of the corpse
From testimony today it appeared
his Wife, who vas q beautiful
II years younger than himself, some
time in the late hours of Wednesday
night.
Ellis fired four shots into her body
and gashed her throat. He then shot
himself ard cut his own throat and
wrists. He then lay down by her side
hugging her ~lifeless form and kissing
her lips until morning, while the
warmth left her body and her form
became rigid.
Thus for hours he made love to the
shell of the woman he had slain.
The confession came dramatically,
shortly after the opening of the after
noon session.
Ellis, who had insisted to the police
that there was a suicide pact. stood as
he confessed to the murder. He seemed
to have regained possession of himself
That he had cas on his wife's acquaint-
ance with a Canadian merchant.
His voice strengthened ~perceptibly
as he asserted thai she had been a per-
feet wife and mother and that her con-
duct had been above criticism.

Washington. D. c.. Oct. 2o.-Reports
that President Huerta, of Mexico, mas
resigned We're read With keen interest
at the White House this morning, buL
it was given out there were no oftlciai
advices concerning it DIR. William
Bayard Hale said he wouldn't be sur
prised if the reports We're true, but II
so Huerta must have been forced out,
perhaps by danger of an army revolt
The prominence of Genera Blan-
auet. minister of war who, according
to one report. has seized the reins OF
power. lends interest to his personality.
He is of the same 'r~eactionary type as
| Huerta and a nlerciless soldier with a
record as a good fighter. He made the
| actual arrest of Madero. He boasts of
the fact that he was a member OF the
firing squad that shot Macmillan. He
was then a youth of IL. he claims
| credit for having. by order of the COM
mander given Maximilian the final
shot.
Blanouet's ascendency would doubt
| less be as distasteful to the consti-
! t%ntionalists as Huerta's.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. 1S.-Possibilities OF
| Huerta's immediate retirement COM
| manded foremost attention in the Mex
| lean situation here today and admins
tration officials Were awaiting the. adj
vices to supplement those OF late yes
| terday which suggested very strongly
| that plans of MeNico's provisional
| president had been arrested for lack OF
| agreement on a man to succeed lin.
Planouet minister of the war one
| of the group who acted with Huerta in
! the downfall of Madero was mentioned
as q successor but not approved here.
D~iplomatists elso were of the opinion
that Planduet was ineligible because
no wa hnrp IN, Snlin md the rOnGfiflI-
ton demands n native born. Whether
| Banquet could relieve the situation
with the United States also is a Ques-
ton discussed.
John Bulls Position.
The attitude of Great Britain accord
ir- to those who Enew the views of
the Washington administration, is
causing some concern. American Off
| Gals showed some disappointment to
learn that Sir Lionel Garden presented
his credentials to Huerta the day after
he had proclaimed himself as dictator.
1t had been confidently expected here
that in line with earlier advices, Great
Britain q extended recognition to
HNerta as provisional president pend
ing an election that he would not now
be regarded as q constitutional ruler
in view OF his notification of constitu-
tional restrictions.
1t is possible that diplomatic INQUIRIES
may be made through Ambassador
Page as to the intention of the Brit
ish foreign office.

John Lind, President Wilson's per
sonal representative in Mexico. has re-
ccived from Vera Cruz indications of
General Huerta's intention to resign
the provisional presidency. Mr.. Lind
has advised the president that If the
information that has come to him is
