JACKSON BREAKS DOWN
Wife Slayer Shows Signs OF Feeling
for First Time.

Shelbyville. Mo. June 25.-Follow
ing a restless night, John r. jackson.
or Irving Morgan, wife slayer, today
was preparing for his preliminary ex-
animation in a justice court here to-
morrow.
Jackson weakened today for the
first time since he threw the bleeding
and half nude body of his wife from
a Pullman compartment window of a
Burlington train as it sped thru Shell
bina, Mo. He asked to be allowed to
visit the grave of his pretty young
wife and place a rose-which he said
she loved-on it. When the request
was refused the calm with which he
had stood up under his confession
and attendant ordeal vanished. and he
wept.
Jackson may not be able to obtain
bond, it was indicated today owing to
his record which shows he jumped a
bond in Birmingham, Ala, where he
was waiting trial on an embezzlement
charge four years ago.
He will BIO tried here 1t was an
nounced. The crime was committed
in this county.

The country understood at once
that the barrier set up by your hero
ism was unshakable and that your

vigor. Our people and our allies who
have SO many glorious representatives
among US applaud our success against
the eternal enemy.

LEW TENDER FAV0RlTE
Philadelphia Lightweight, Former
Newsboy, Is Coming to Front.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. June 25.-Eight months
ago the fistic world knew little or
nothing of Lew Tender, Philadelphia
lightweight, for the very good reason
that Lew was Philadelphia newsboy
without reputation in fistic circles.
Tender is a freak of the ring. He
by several inches, and he has a great
er reach. But the freakiest thing
about him is the fact that he is
left-handed boxer.
There have been few good left
handed boxers in the history Of the
ring. The toughest and most widely
known outside of Tender today is per-
Greek Brown is not clever. He is
merely a stand-up-and-take-i and
pull-'e off the floor battler w o
manages to keep on making a living
in the ring because he Is tough as
leather and always gives a boxing
crowd all the action there is in him.
With Tender it is different. This
freaky Philiy lad is clever, a hard
puncher and a good ring general. He
has developed rapidly within eight
months and now has the earmarks of
a finished lightweight who has fought
many battles and whose movements in
the ring bespeak thoro knowledge Of
the game.
In eight months time, Tender has
cleared more than $4,000 and has
reached a position in which he will
command thousands more. He is be-
low the military age, being only 10.
In PhilIy the fans will back Lew for
any amount. and they don't care who
his opponent may be. The better they
prove his class. is the way they look
at it.
