HENRY "SPENcER"ENTERS INTO
AGREEMENT TO DIE

Henry Spencer, the confessed muir
derer of Mrs. Rexroat, has entered
into an agreement to die.
The agreement was made with the
DuPage county authorities. Under
its terms, DuPage county must give
him a speedy trial and agree to SEN
tence him to death on the gallows.
And the hanging must take place i'm
mediately.
If the authorities of DuPage coun-
ty violate this compact in any way
and delay the trial Spencer threatens
to plead not guilty and, in the event
of conviction, carry his case to the
Supreme Court.
Spencer seems quite sincere in his
determination to expedite his sins.
81 know you have enough infiu-
ence with the Judge to assure me the
death penalty" he told the DuPage
county officials, $50 it will be only
case of your living up to the agree
ment. 1 am making this agreement
because l want a quick trial and
quick hanging. Now, understand,
that if you shoot in lot of alienists
and try to have men sent to some

insane asylum or to Joliet I'll re-
Spudiate my confession, present an
'alibi and fight the case"
The DuPage officials agreed and
Spencer was taken back to his cell.
After hearing Spencer talk to Geo.
Lenahan, proprietor of hotel at
Round Lake, where the prisoner
formerly worked, Capt. Halpin is in
clined to believe the mans story that
he murdered man and woman at
Fox Lake. He told many things that
were verified by Lenahan.
Spencer, while on an automobile
trip, suddenly remembered as he was
passing the Auditorium Hotel, that
he had killed a man there in 1899.
His story has been termed ridicul-
GUS by the hotel management.
