Miss Ella Monroe Says She Shot Miss
Eva Gregory in Kentucky

Lexington, Ky. March 24-Con-
frpnted by a sheriff's posse and pack

arrest of her father, John Monroe.
her mother, and two brothers, on the
charge of the assassination Of Miss
Eva Gregory, 10 years old, society
girl of Hardin Springs, KY, Miss Ella
Monroe, "a years old yesterday con-
fssed, the authorities say, that she
shot Miss Gregory.
The cause, she stated, according tc
the officers, who gave out the story OF
the alleged confession, was that she
was jealous of the attentions a young
man of the neighborhood was paying
to Miss Gregory, and that Miss Mon
roc was in love with the man.
Miss Gregory was shot Wednesday
as she rode horseback along lonely
roadway near her home.
There were few clews about the
place, but yesterday the sheriff's pos.
Sc took bloodhounds to the place anc
the dogs soon struck trail. This
they followed, the officers say, two and
a half miles straight to the home Of
John Monroe, a prominent farmer.
The entire family was at home anc
the officer took no chances. They plac,
cd the family under arrest.
Seeing that further conccalment
was useless, and that her famil!
would be subjected to unjust suspi-
cion, Miss Monroe then broke down.
The name of the young man in tho
case was not made public. Both girls
were members of the same social set
and formerly had been good friends
|. They lived on farms near each
.other, and were typical girls, who lee
in country social circles. So promi
ncnt is the Monroe family that ri
suspicion would likely ever have beer

rectly to their home.
Only one shot was fired into Mis-:
Gregory's body, but revolver hat

clothing was powder burned.

All records at the Richmond munich
pal electric plant will be shattered this
month, Superintendent Kleinknecht
said today. The plants business WILL
exceed $4,000. The largest revenue
for any one month previously was
$4,000.
The plant superintendent believes
that the prospects of the city taking
over the electric plant of the Light,
Heat and Power company has been in
great measure, responsible for the
big increase i'm business this month.
He said at the present time the city
plant had no meters on hand.
He also announced that if the city's
street lighting system is to be in
creased, as contemplated by the in
stallation of ornamental lights. and
the plant has to take over the out-of-
town business of the privately owned
plant, 1t will be necessary to provide a
larger transformer house at the mu-
nicipal plant.
