cause | wanted to save her purity, "
was j. Maurice Pettit's explanation to
police today for the murder Of his
beautiful twenty year old bride of a
month. Petit was arrested Saturday
afternoon near Detroit, Michigan, and
brought back here yesterday. He is
now a closely guarded patient at the
Bridewell hospital as a result of des,
perate attempt to escape from train
en- route here. He dived through a
window of coach near Michigan City,
Indiana The speed of the train caused
him to strike the ground with terrific
force and he lay where he. fell until
detectives came back and got him.
''She still lives as you and | do"
Petit told the police. "When | killed
her did it materially, not spiritually. -
"Other men called at the flat and
talked to her." said Petit 81 was
jealous of her. / was wrong in that.
She was always good and pure"
Petit was captured at a farmhouse
near Detroit. A farmer recognized
him from a newspaper photograph.
When arrested he admitted he killed
his wife, police say.
Pettit's condition was still considered
serious today. He suffered two pune
lures Of the left lung from the ends Of
broken ribs when he attempted to
escape. Petit was formerly a bank
teller at Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

A Sacred Spot.

Hodgenville, KY, Sept. Abraham
Lincoln 8 birthplace here, a little hut
now preserved and protected within a
shrine OF stone-today was added TO
the treasures OF the government of the
United States. President Wilson re-
ceived the deed to the property, togeth-
er with an endowment fund of $780, 900
for its maintenance from the Lincoln
Farm association. Standing before the
historic cabin, the president spoke of
| Lincoln as the embodiment of the va
lidity and vitality of democracy.
"'This little hut" the president said,
was the cradle of one of the great
est sonss of man, man of singular, de-
lightful, vital genius, who presently EN-
erged upon the great stage of the ma
tion 8 history, gaunt, ungainly but dom
inant and majestic, a natural ruler Of
men,
Lincoln was not typical American,
the president said, because no man can
be typical who is so unusual.
But" he added, sit was typical of
American life that it should produce
such men with supreme indifference as
to the manner in which it produced
them"
The president and Mrs. Wilson ar
rived here at 9:40 this morning.. En-
route to the Lincoln farm the party
stopped at the court house square,
where the president placed wreath on
Lincoln s statue there. Mrs. Wilson
was presented with beautiful bouquet
by the school children of the village.
The party leaves on its return trip to
Washington at 2 O'Clock, reaching the
capital tomorrow afternoon.
The Presidents Address.
"No more significant memorial
could have been presented to the nation
than this. 1t expresses so much of what
is singular and noteworthy in the his
tory of the country; it suggests so many
of the things that We prize most highly
in our life and in our system of gov
erument How eloquent this little house
within this shrine is of the vigor OF
