Describes Experience of Last Two

Legal Wife Reveals the
Double Life of Mate.

Newark. - Walter Burroughs held
me under a hypnotic power for
two years. He forced me to
give him every cent of the $500
which had saved up to educate my
son. He forced me to mortgage my
household effects and give him the
money. He obliged me to say that
was his wife. He compelled me to
change my life insurance policy SO
that he would be the beneficiary
rather than my son. He made me use
his name on the book that carried my
own personal bank account. He
wouldn't give me anything to eat
while lay suffering from the cancer
that is eating my life away.
He told me was his soul wife and
that marriage of the soul was far
more binding that marriage of the
church or of law. / never loved him
yet l couldn't repulse him."
Such was the statement made by
Mrs. Nellie Wallace as she lay on what
may be her death bed at the home of
Mrs. Nellie Miller, here, in describing
the experiences of the past two years
with Walter Burroughs, whose legal
wife came here from Dayton and re-
vealed the double life her husband had
been leading.
Burroughs is under police surveil-
lance in the Good Samaritan hospital
in GAINESVILLE, as the result of the issu-
ance of a warrant charging him with
Improper conduct.

BADLY SLASHED
BOND MEASURE GOES THROUGH
HOUSE WITH ORIGINAL IN
TENT ALTERED.
BIG MAJORITY FOR CHANGE
Lowry Rural School Bill Comes Near
Losing Its Identity Through an
Amendment Providing for County
Option on Question of Supervision
and Recess Is Forced.
CBy Denny Dunovan.)

Columbus, O.-Before being passed
In the house the Mills bill, providing
for the exemption from the bonding
limit of securities issued to purchase
self-supporting public utility plants,
was radically amended by the house
of representatives. Led by Repre-
sentative John F. Kraemer, of Rich
land, majority of the members in
serted the constitutional provision
that such securities should be based
only upon the utility itself and 20
year security franchise, thus excluding
the mortgage of the general credit of
the municipalities. An effort to save
the original intent by making it apply
only to such cities as had adopted new
charters was defeated. The vote on
the bill was S3 to 26. While the house
was changing the Mills bill the Lowry
rural school supervision bill came near
being emasculated in the senate. Sem
ator Moore, of Jefferson county, pro-
posed an amendment providing for
county option on the question of coun-
ty supervision, and IA recess was
forced.

Admits Murderinu Wife.

Cincinnati. - Jacob Herrell, who
was arrested and held, on suspi-
cion of being connected with the MUIR
der of his wife, Mildred, confessed
Monday to the police here that he
killed her with hammer last Tues
day morning. A cousin of the dead
woman, John Mason, is still being held
by the police in connection with the
case.
Herrell, in his confession, is said to
have informed Mason on Tuesday
morning that he killed his wife. The
two were in poolroom at the time.
Mason, according to Herrell, inn
mediately went to the room on Mound
street, where the Hervells resided. He
found the body OF Mrs Hrrell lying on
a couch with her skull mashed by
blunt instrument Mason wrapped the
body in bed clothes and forced it under
low bed, where it was found on
Wednesday. Mason was arrested the
next day. At that time he said he
slept in the bed on Tuesday night. and
knew nothing Of the murder.
On Thursday Herrell was arrested
near his home at Port Royal, KY. and
brought to Cincinnati He stoutly de-
clared he was innocent until Monday.
when the police say he broke down
and confessed to the crime.
The statements concerning Mason
we're denied by the latter when he was
brought face to face with Herrell.
Mason declared that Herrell was try
ing to implicate him as means of re-
venge. Mrs. Herrell was infatuated
with Mason.
The murder, Herrell said, followed
bitter quarrel with his wife over his
accusations regarding her relations
with Mason.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Henry NJ Pin

In reply to the resignation, the

the Russian post. Mr.. Pindell's letter

that | could do so at once and take
up the work at very early date.
| Il am. therefore, the more embar-
\ rasSed to find that circumstances have
arisen which will render it impossible
/ for me to undertake the mission.
Il have, as you know, been put in
very false light by certain gross
misreprese in the public
press; and while it is true that these
have been cleared away and the nomi-
nation accepted in its true light after
thorough and dispassionate investi-
CATION. feel that. it would be more
delicate for me to decline the ap-
pointment than to accept it. No con-
troversy of this kind should surround
the appointment of an ambassador to
a country which cannot be expected
to be familiar with the real circum-
stances as they are known at home.
There should be nothing personal to
talk about or explain there as far as
| the ambassador himself is concerned.
"I beg, therefore, that trusting me
to be guided by my own instinct in
| this matter, you will accept my as
surances of deep gratitude for the
honor you have sought to do me and
permit me. with genuine regret, but
with no hesitation of judgment, to
decline the appointment.
With sentiments of distinguished
| consideration, believe me to be. Mr..
/ President. your obedient servant,
HENRY M. sPINDELL."
! The presidents reply follows:
Dear Mr.. Pindell: Your letter
does great credit to your delicate
sense of propriety and serves to in
crease, if that were possible, my ad-
! miration for you and my confidence in
your eminent fitness for the mission
| which you now decline.
Il can but yield to your Judgment
in the matter; because it is clear to
me that, feeling as you do, whether
you are fully justified in that feeling
| or not. you would not be comfortable
or happy in the post. | therefore can
not insist. You will allow me, how
ever, hope, to express my deep re-
gret

Files Unofficial Protest.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The proclama-
tion lifting the embargo on arms for
Mexican rebels was made official on
Tuesday by President Wilson
The presidents proclamation is as
follows:
Whereas, By proclamation of
the president issued on March IA,
1912, under a joint resolution of con-
gress. approved by the president on
the same day, it was declared that
there existed in Mexico conditions of
domestic violence which were pro-
NOTED by the use of arms or munitions
of war procured from the United
States; and
Whereas, By the joint resolution
above mentioned it thereupon became
unlawful to export arms or munitions
of war to Mexico except under such
limitations and exceptions as the pres
ident should prescribe;
Nov, therefore, l, Woodrow VIII
son. president of the United States oil
America, hereby declare and proclaim
that, as the conditions have changed
and it is desirable to place the United
States with reference to the exporta-
ton of arms or munitions of war to
Mexico, in the same position as other
powers, the said proclamation is here
by revoked.
I'm witness whereof l have here
unto set nv hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
WOODROW WILSON.
"By the President:
'W. J. BRYAN, Secretary of State"
President Wilson accompanied the
proclamation with the following state
ments:
"The executive order under which
the expectation of arms and ammuni
ton into Mexico is forbidden, was
departure from the accepted practices
of neurality-a deliberate departure
from those practices under well con
sidered joint resolution of congress
determined upon in circumstances
which have now ceased to exist. II
was intended to discourage incipieni
revolts against the regularly consti
tuted authorities of Mexico.
Since that order was issued the
circumstances of the case have under
gone radical change. There is nov
no constitutional government in Mex
leo; and the existence of this order
hinders and delays the very thing
the government of the United States
is now insisting upon, namely, thai
Mexico shall be left free to settle hel
own affairs and as soon as possible
put them upon a constitutional foot
ing by her own force and counsel
The order is therefore rescinded."
Mexico City, Feb. 5.-Many of the
Americans resident here, on learning
of President Wilson's decision tt
raise the embargo on the expectation
of arms from the United States tt

Representative Lenroot, Republican,

Representative Slayton of Texas de-

Chairman Burnett moved to end de-
bate on the provision and was charged
by Mr.. Manahan with using unfair
methods to rush his bill through the

accusation as lie. The house was
in turmoil as the men tried to get at
