is that the girl came into the church
basement by the street door. He was
not expecting her. He had not lured
her there.
He found her accidentally. he says

music ROOM. in front of the little stage
where the children's drama Of Santa
Claus had been arranged.
He approached her and took her in
his arms to play with her. Then his
mania came upon him and his reason
left him in a red flash. He next re-
members carrying her into the belfry.
There he left her while he went down
town to have several drinks of beer
and to see a romance in moving pic
ture playhouse-the Fairyland.
He left her there for more than two
hours. In the meantime his memory
had returned to him and he realized
something of the enormity of what he
had done and the consequences that
would follow. He then began to pre-
pare his alibi and to arrange an elab-
crate "discovery'' of the body.

TELLS OF CRIME
California Murderer of Little
Girl COnfesses His Guilt.
After Hiding Body He Went to

Sacramento. Cal, Dec. S.-David
Fountain, sexton of the German
Evangelical Lutheran church, con-
fessed to District Attorney Eugene
Wachhorst Monday night the details
of how he violated and strangled To-
year-old Margaret Milling in the
basement of the church last Saturday
afternoon. For brutality and cunning
and strange features this crime out
rivals the Theodore Durant murders
in the Baptist church Of San Francis
co twentv years ago.
Marga ct Milling was attacked in
the music room of the church base
ment just back of the Sunday school
room, as she was seated near the
piano. She was carried, dying or
dead, into the church belfry, along
narrow rafters where no one but a
human ape Of enormous strength and
agility could crawl, back into the deep
recesses of the rafters in the rear of
the church and there the deed was
finished.
Bloodstains were found in the place
in the rafters where the body lay also
a little dolls dress of blue calico
where the girl had dropped it.
Fountain led the officers to the
place, and they found that all had
been done as the janitor had con-
fessed.
Claims No Recollection.
Fountain claims to have no recol-

And Daura had been so charming to him
whenever they had met during the day that
he had for the first time almost ceased to be
jealous of Troy.
Troy had offered his motor for the ex-
petition, and Lord Gorme had accepted the
offer. But it had gone against the grain
with Alastair to avail himself of the Amer
leans hospitality. On the pretext that one
car, no matter how big, was not large enough
for the party, he had borrowed a small auto
mobile, with its chauffeur, from friend in
Portree. At the last moment Daura said in
the presence of Troy as well as of Lord
Gorme that she would like Alastair to take
her to Portree.
Lord Gorme looked at the girl in surprise,
and at the first moment they were alone he
asked, why do you want to go to Portree
with Alastair instead of withus in Troy SCARF"
"Oh-just because, dear Cushillain!' she
coaxed him.

of an excuse with some foundation. Il

I'm afraid you rather hurt Troys feel

Lord Gorme offered no more objections

between Lord Gorme and his daughter,
that you should take Daura in your car, in

Everything? Why, l.
"Do you want me to understand that you
