Al the time the telegram was re-
ceived at his home, his people were
unaware of the fact that he was out
of South Richmond He had left
home after eating his dinner. and
when he did not put in his appearance
at supper time. his mother thought
that he had been attending a ball
game or show In Richmond. and
would be late coming home. When
the message was received telling her
of the accident she was taken COM
pietely by surprise.
short while after ii was learned
from one of his friends that he had
been offered a position in Washing
ton. and had left yesterday afternoon
to accept without disclosing the fact
to his parents. or anyone at his home.
He told the friend that he was afraid
that his mother would object to him
leaving home. and he was going to
Washington and then write to his
parents. Letters In his pocket dis
closed his identity.
When the message was received,
his father. Sergeant Saunders, was
with fishing party on the New road,

cation with. them.

TO SPARE NO ONE,
NOT EVEN HIMSELF
Sulzer Makes Up Mind to Go
on Witness Stand.
Governor Insists That His Own Case,
Good and Bad, Be Presented to
Court and to People From
His Own Lips.

Albany, N. Y.-Gov. Sulzer Wednes-
day night made up his mind to go on
the witness stand at his impeachment
trial and make full and complete
statement. To use his own words,
"He will go down the middle of the
road and spare nobody, even myself"
This decision was reached after his
lawyers in an eleventh hour confer
ence had warned him that the prose-
cution intends to subject him to a
whitening cross-eXamination, and his
testimony will open the gates for the
introduction of mass of new testi-
mony against him.
The governor was told that among
the uneXploded shells in the prosecu.
tion's lockers is evidence that one
man in high finance contributed $10,-
600 to his campaign, and that he will
be asked about additional corporation
gifts totalling $25,00O
To this he replied that come what
may he intends to talk, to attack, if it
Is permitted, not only Charles F. Muir

that will Try him, and to insist that
his own case, good and bad, be pre-
sented to the court and to the people
from his own lips.
Believing that by letting the bars
down for a flood of testimony that
barred his past, the court must admit
his answer. the governor plans first
to attack Murphy, the assembly man.
ayers and certain senators whom he
believes had hand in bringing about
his impeachment. If he cannot get
this statement into the record, and
there is every reason to believe he
cannot, he will make full confession

whatever about account 500"
The prosecution closed Wednesday
afternoon. The defense opened it's
case few days later.

Chicago.-Two of the eighteen
murders avowed by Henry Spencer,
alias James Burke, were officially de-
clared by the police to have been fixed
upon him beyond the peradventure Of
a doubt.
Witnesses Identity Prisoner.
Four witnesses identified him as the
Rexroat from Chicago to Wayne on
Sept. &c.
His statement that he killed Mrs.
Annabel Wight at 2150 De Kalbst last
December was borne out by the police
records, which say that Mrs. Wight
was beaten on the head many times in
her rooming house with hammer
and was picked up unconscious, dying
from her wounds in the hospital The
police report had it that she was
robbed of $50 by man who came to
hire a room from her, whereas Spen-
Ger says he got $435. OF this s35 was
in her handbag and $400 in her
stocking
After eight hours of unremitting ex-
animation and cross-examination in
which Spencer was given the third de-
gree by Chief of Detectives John ].
Halpin and Assistant States Attorney
Michael F. Sullivan. the slayer was
obliged to admit that he had nothing
to do with three of the 1S murders of
which he had PERSISTENT" boasted.
Stransled, Shot, Used Hammer.
AS to the Is other murders, includ-
ing those of Mildred Acknowledgement,
Mrs. AnnabeH Wight, girl he re-
members only as Nellie" whom he
luyed from New York to Fort Mont
gomery; Mamie Bertram and French
girl named Jeanette, whom he met
at Delavan Lake, Wis; French Ca
madam woman from Nova Scotia whom
he killed at Walkerville, Ontario; two
Dowieites whom he killed and robbed
at Zion City, two girls whom he killed
at Paw Paw Lake, and Bessie Con-
nors, whom he killed at st. Joseph,
Mich, and whose body he threw in the
lake, he strenuously insisted that his
story was true, and that he really
murdered all these persons either by
Btrangling, shooting, using the ham
mer on their heads and throwing
them into the water.

Confessed Slayer Says Sometimes

Hate All of Them"
HATES ALL WOMEN.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-"Sometimes you

Ing woman. hate them, all of them.
II seems as II could look into their
brains, their lying little brains, and
watch them scheming against me.
II makes me sore-so ! play the hand
out with them, pat them on the
cheek, call them lovers names and
kill them"
That was the kernel of the long,
lmpassioned, bitter answer made by
Henry Spencer when he was asked
the blunt question: "Why are you a
woman killer? Why specialize on
them?"
For Spencer had confessed that at
least II of the victims listed In his
wholesale murder confession were
women,
Spencer's usually pale, opium
bleached face, Redeemed, deepened In
color toward purple as he spoke.
For the first time since his arrest he
showed passion, clinched his fists,
waved his arms, then, as his out
burst of rage subsidized, It gave place
to the quiet, coldly resentful attl-
tude he had previously held.
"a knew the whole world was
against me-" he said, "but ! knew,
too, that the women were the slimlest
of my enemies-and I made them
pay for 1t. Young ones, trying to
look simple and Innocent; concelted,

Egyptians Had 12.Hour DAYS.

The early Egyptians divided day
and night each into IL hours, a Gus
tom adopted by the Jews or Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have been divided into
hours from 293 B. c., when L. Papirius
Cursor erected sundial in the tenn
pie of Quicinus at Rome. Before
water clocks were invented in 158
B. c., time was called at Rome by
public criers. In England the meas
urement of time was, in early days,
uncertain; one expedient was by wax
candles, three inches burning an hourl
and six wax candles burning "a hours

Turn About is Fair PLAY.

"A famous tenor" said Giulio Gatti-
Casazza. was invited one night to
dinner by Chicago trust magnate.
The dinner was superb but at it's end
the trust magnate asked the tenor to
sing. This. of course, was as bad as
inviting doctor to dinner and then
asking for a free prescription. So
the tenor politely declined. The
trust magnate, however, insisted.
After five or ten minutes of this. the
tenor said with a laugh:
"Oh, well, every one to his trade.
Let me see you pick a pocket. Then
I'll sing"
