NEGRO SLAYER
Will RECOVER;
ADMITS KILLING
Anderson Taken to Muncie to
Answer Charge of Murder
ing Druggist There.

With his condition slightly improved
William Anderson, confessed murder
er of Clyde Benadum, a druggist OF
Muncie, was taken to Muncie last eve
ming to answer to charge of murder.
Although at first Anderson refused
to make any statement concerning the
affair, after continual questioning by
both the local and Muncie police, he
finally admitted that he had fred the
shot that killed Benadum, after enter
ing the store to commit robbery. In
his confession, Anderson exonerated
Walter Arnett, his 17-year-old com
panion, declaring that he had forced
the youth to accompany to Muncie fol
the purpose of robbing the store.
Refused to Obey Command.
Anderson declared that he really
did not intend to kill Benadum. but
the fact that the druggist showed re
sistance and refused to throw up his
hands when ordered by Anderson tc
do so caused the negro to fire.
The prisoner declared that he ha(
been honorably discharged from the
United States army, and that he wa:
also a college graduate. He refused
to show either his discharge papers
| or tell what college he attended. HI
told the police that he had burned hi
| discharge from the army. He alst
| declared that the Muncie affair wa!
not the first of its kind in which ht
had taken part.
| "Benadum was the first man tina
ever showed any resistance to me
and I guess l fired before l thought,
Anderson declared. But he is no
the first man that have killed, no
is he the forty first"

tria on Sunday with promise Of imme-
date success, according to informa-
uon In government circles.
The best information indicates that
about 40 per cent Of the Austrian
army is Bolshevik The communists
are expected quickly to align them
selves with the Hungarian commun-
lists.
UNSATISFACTORY REPLY
PARIS, June 12.-Bolshevism and a
discussion OF the position of Bella Kun,
foreign minister of the Hungarian SOW
let government, figure prominently In
the peace deliberations.
The success of the Hungarian Boil
shevih against the Czecho-Sloyaks
have given the peace conference anx-
iety for many days and the council OF
four has decided that the boundaries
between Hungary and Rumania and
between Hungary and Czecho-Slovakia
must be positively determined in order
that Bella Kun may be told specifically
to what points his troops must be
withdrawn, If he desires to avoid
clash with the five great power and
win hearing from the peace confer
ence.
While the text of the reply Of Bella
Kun, foreign minister of the Hungar-
ian soviet government to the telegram
from NJ. Clemenceau, president of the
peace conference, demanding that he
cease hostilities against the Czecho-
Slovaks or suffer the consequences,
has not been published In Paris, It is
| apparently unsatisfactory. Official de-
NAL is made of Bella Kun's statement
that he had been invited to the peace
conference. He was told in NJ. Glenn
| enceau's dispatch that he would not
be invited to the conference If he did
not cease fighting and this was twist
| ed into an Invitation to Paris.
| Bolshevlk Line Threatened.
| Military reverses suffered by Ad-
miral Kolchak's troops in southeastern
Russia have caused some uneasiness
in conference circles, those reported
! since Bella Kun's success against the
Czechs being viewed with especial con-
cern. The Strengthening of the Boil
| shevfk hold in Moscow by the inter
ruptfon of the advances of the Esthon-
ians against Petrograd is also the
source of uneasiness
The Bolshevik peril, which was ap-
parently on the decline a few weeks
ago, Is again commanding attention
from all delegations here No effort is
being made to conceal the meuace
that the Hungarian BolsheviEi offer
to Poland as well as Czecho-SIovakia
Austria is looked upon as a fertile
ground for Bolshevism and If 1t went
under Bolshevik control, with a part of
Czecho-Slovakia, the Bolshevih would
hold the wedge IN central Europe.
which would put them on three sides
of Poland, already hard pressed by
the Germans on the west
The council of four has the COM
plete text Of the reply of Admiral
Kolchak, anti-Bolshevik leader in the
| Omsk government of Russia, to the
allied note concerning recognition of
the Omsk government by the allies.
Decision by the allies on the question
of recognition of the Omsk govern
ment, 1t is believed, will not be much
longer delayed.
