day afternoon. and after dining at an
uptown. hotel. went to Goernor's is

be said with authority to be due to
his own initiative. He has the last
dozen years shown an active inter

having offered himself as a candidate
for votes. To win the nomination he
must defeat at the primaries former
Councillor Calvin d. Paige of South

appeared less nervous and later he
gave them details of his selfconfessed
crime.
His alleged confession as repeated
by the detectives, was substantially as
follows:

worked in a suburb of Rochester, de-
clared that he had to pass the Gene

that several times he saw the girl at
a grave, laying flowers upon it.

but she resented this and tried to run
away. I grabbed her by the arm and
began choking her. She screamed. but
no one heard her, and then l grabbed
her by the throat and strangled her.
She then died"
