years of age-Of her honor.
So when she met him in the street
she took him riding in her fiance's aU-
tomObile and killed him.
This is the written story she tells
in her confession, and although she
says: 81 thought I could do it that
way and make it all right" she will
be tried for murder.
The girl is Mrs. Katherine HarTi-
son, Is, wife of Charles Harrison, son
of a Fort Worth banker.
The man was w. r. Warren, so,

was killed by shots from a revolver
Dec. % on lonely spot near Bend

For two months police and county
detectives sought his slayer.
Then they arrested B. G. Virgins,
who, with his wife, was passing
through Fort Worth.
Mrs. Harrison's friends had been
told of the confession. One of them,
Emma Lois Quinn, thought the man
ought to be released. Her conscience
sent her to the county attorneys Of

Five hours later police had arrested
Mrs. Harrison and her husband, taken
a confession from them and placed

She met him about Nov 1. A girl
friend introduced them. One day af-
ter that Warren met her uptown, she
says, and when she left him he kept
her parasol.
She went to his home at the South
ern hotel to get the parasoI, and he
locked the door and forced her by
threats to yield herself, she says.
The night of Dec. %, 1915, she

No one was in the car but Warren
and Harrison, she says. The girl
drove the car past Arlington. Pre-

the car. Warren alighted.

she poured a rain Of lead into Warren,
she confessed, as he sank to his
knees, wounded by the first shot.

SPRING FEVER EVIDENCES
Norkmen in Local Factories Quit Work When ''OLd SoI, Gets Rusv.

TWO of the local manufa cturing concerns felt the effect of the impend ing attacks of spring fever'' vester day when several of their workn,en quit during the day, presumably to accept jobs out doors where the op- portunity to bask. in the sunshine pre- sents itself ofteners Sixteen men en-. ployed in the foundry at the Vulcan Iron works left their benches at noon yesterday and failed to return in the afternoon. This morning, however, the better grade of help was back. and no further attention will be paid to those who have left, it being presumed thot they sought jobs elsewhere. Gen. eral Superintendent Hurlburt said this morning that owing to the brisk busi- ness on hand the company was forced to hire all sorts of employees, and he supposed that many of them did not like the nature of the work
 At the New Britain Machine com pany, eleven laborers heard the call of the brickyard, and evidently respond ed, as they were absent yesterday aft ernoon. The local manufa cturers do not anticipate any trouble from their employees, and are confident that it is simply a case of good weather that af- fected the men who walked out ves- terday.

Labor Departments Statement indi-
Gates a General Gain.
The Department Of Labor has issued
a statement showing that manufac-
turing industries in the United States
are expanding generally from 20 to. so
per cent more for wages than they
were a year ago. Much OF the in
crease is accounted for by the addi-
ticnaI number of men employed, but
a considerable amount is credited to
higher wages.
The iron and steel industries lead
with a 60.3 per cent increase in the
amount of wages paid and a SO per
cent increase in men employed. The
car building and repairing industry is
next with a 51sDer cent wage increase
and a SO per cent increase in men en-
ployed. Cotton manufacturing is the
the only one OF the bigger Industries
showing merely a nominal wake i
crease.
! The number of men employed and
wage aggregates have grown steadily
month by month. From February to
March last the total amount of wages
in all industries increased from 1 to Z
per cent.

WITH THE PRESIDENT.

From Becoming Involved in War,
Voiced by Noted Bishops. =.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, April 3d.
Assurance that M~ethodists Of the

country from becoming involved in
the European war, was voiced here
today by Bishop Earl Cranston Of
Washington. Bishop Cranston, who
will open the twe~nty-seventh general
conference OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church here tomorrow, was address
ing a preliminary service.
Il would assure the President of
the United States,' Bishop Cranston
said, that whatever temporary back
Methodists here or yonder may fall
under the spell of a magnetic political
leader, the great body Of our people
are in full sympathy with all of his
patriotic and Christian endeavors &c
keep this nation out of the European
embodiment.
"We Methodists do not believe thai
1T is patriotic for a few Americans to
insist upon their TECHNICAL right TO
travel at sea in such a time as this,
for personal reasons, at the risk of
bringing the horrors and desoIations
,of war upon millions of their fellow
Americans"
During his address Bishop Grams
ton endorsed the plan proposed for
the union of the Northern and South
|ern branches of the Church. which is
to be considered by the General Con-
ference.
