CARTER
 NEARLY HAS A
 BAD ACCIDENT
AUTO DRIVER PUTS MACHINE IN RIVER TO AVOID
 TURNING OVER.

What might have proven to be a very serious accident was averted last night by Fred Carter, the auto mobile driver. when he put his ma chine into the river on the Garden Island side in order to keep 1t from turning over. As it was none of the nine passengers who were in the automobile were hurt, when, if the machine had turned over, it is prac- tically certain that some of them would have been badly injured. The passengers therefore owe their com. plete safety to Mr Carter's presence of mind.
 The trip was MT Carter's last in coming from Fox for the day Sev- eral miles from town he encountered a rut in the trail. The passengers got out of the machine, il was haul ed to solid ground again ana the trip was resumed.
 DurinG the remainder of the trip 10 town MT. Carter paid particular attention to the machinery and could detect nothing wrong with 1t ls a result of running into the Tut. He therefore concluded that he was com ing all right; that no part of the auto mad been injured and that he could speed up little. Which he proceeded to do.
 It was not until he started to go around the corner at St. Ioseph's hospital on Garden Island that he noticed that anything was wrong. Then it was that the steering gear refused to work properly. The auto mobile was going at d high rate of speed, and the driver saw that an attempt to turn would certainly over probable injury and maybe death of some of the occupants.
 MT. Carter therefore set the steer ing gear for straight ahead and kept going, The 'Aachine ran down the bank of the river toward the open water As it did so all of the passengers commenced to jump out, although some of them had not yet managed to get away before the auto was brought to full stop. with the front wheels on the shore ice.

BENTON BARRETT COULD NOT AGREE WITH SPOUSE AND HER SET FIRE TO HOUSE CONTAIN- ING REMAINS
MAKES CONFESSION
 TO THE. OFFICIALS
MAN WHO COMMITTED DUAL MURDER ASSERTS THAT WIFE ATTACKED HIM WITH BUTCH ER KNIFE AND THAT HE Kilt ED IN SELF DEFENSE.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21.= Benton Barrett siXty.four years of age and wealthy, was arrested here tonight. charged with the murder of his wife and stepson at Santa Monica last Wednesday, And information eml- mating from the office of the district attorney is to the effect that Bar rett has confessed to the commission of the crime, but will plead not guilty when arraigned, as he contends that he committed the dual murder in self defense
 The crime was particularly heinous one. It was not supposed to be a murder until after the charred and blackened corpses of Mrs. Bar rett and her stepson had been re moved from the burned ruins of the family home at Santa Monica last Wednesday night. Then the circum stances surrounding the burning pointed to murder
 Barrett at first could not be lo- cated. However. after all of the evidence obtainable had been placed in their hands, the detectives on the local police force succeeded in find ing him. and his arrest on the charge of murder in the first degree. was the result.
 It is understood that Barrett, in his confession today, claimed that he committed the murders in sell defense. He says that the trouble started in a three-cornered fight with his wife and stepSon against him. His wife, he says, attacked him with a butcher knife He grabbed up chair and knocked the knife from her hand after which he hit her over the head with the chair. The step son came in about that time, accord ing to the old mans story. He saw what had been done and rushed upon his stepfather, only to be knock ed cold by the chair in the hands of the latter.
 Barrett says that he then com menced to realize for the first time what he had done, and decided to take steps to hide his crime. So he made provisions for setting the house on fire. intending that the crime would never be found out, or if it was discovered, presumed to be accidental He followed out his plan and then made his escape. He does not think, according to his confession made to the district attorney, that his wife and stepson were killed by the blows he dealt them with the clubbed chair.
