KILLING SWEETHEART

LOS ANGELES, interviewer
IN the circumstances surrounding the
staying of Freida Lesser, for which
Harry 5. New, son of United States
Senator New Of Indiana, faced trial
IN the Superior court here today were
many dramatic situations.
Shortly after o'clock on the
morning of July 5, 1919, a black
sedan automobile drove up in front
OF the central police station here. A
man, who later gave his name as
Harry s. New, Jr., alighted and
walked into the detective bureau
4 have just killed my fiancee. She
is in an automobile in front of the
station" he was said to have told
detectives on duty.
Detectives walked to the car out
side and found the body of F'reida
Lesser 21 years old, propped up in
the back seat. Death had been caus-
ed by bullet which had entered her
left temple and emerged at the right
side of her head.
New was Immediately placed under
arrest and freely told the circum-
stances which he said led up to the
young woman's death, later signing
an alleged confession that he killed
her
He told the officers, they said, that
he and Miss Lesser were to have
been married within fortnight. He

have told the officers at the time of
his arrest. "She told me that she
was about to become mother and
that we couldn't be married. NV
mind went blank. I grabbed re-
volver which mother and I kept in
the car and shot. Then 1 realized
what l had done, but Freida was
dead"
II drove toward town and finally
drove up and down the principal
down town streets. My mind was in

If it becomes necessary to pro-

FEARS THAT ARTIC COLD MAY

ITCH FROM PETROGRAD

LONDON-By Associated Press
Winter, moving southwark from the
Artic regions, is coming to the aid of
the Bolshevik troops in Petrograd and
the ability of General Yudenitch to
capture the former Russian capital
before cold weather puts an end to
his campaign seems doubtful.
Soviet forces who succeeded in re-
capturing Tsarkoe-Selo and Plavlo-
vsk, south of Petrograd, appear to be
in a position to prolong the defense
of the city indefinitely.

ANOTHER ASSAULT MADE
ON INDEPENDENT EDITOR

Elizabeth City, Oct. 2.-W. o.
Saunders, editor OF the Independent,
figured again as victim in an assault
case in recorders court here Tues
day morning.
The defendant in this case was
Edgar Williams, known about town
as an operator of an automobile for
hire. Williams was found guilty
by Recorder Spence on two counts,
assault with deadly weapon and
simple assault. In the first instance
he was fined fifteen dollars and
costs and in the second five dollars
and the costs.
The evidence before the recorder
was to the effect that Saunders was
attacked by Williams with a broom
stick in front of the Hinton build
ing on Main Street last Saturday
afternoon. The trouble arose out OF
report in the Independent of a SEN
sational case before the recorder in
Currituck county N which Williams
appeared as defendant. Williams
through his attorney, M. B. Simp-
son, noted an appeal and it is possible
that the matter may be further aired
in Superior Court.

sixty-five per cent of crop.

Talking with a prominent ware
houseman and farmer today he adj
vanced the opinion there would be
a 65 per cent normal tobacco crop
ir his opinion this year. He stated
that a normal average crop under
best conditions ise about a third off.
This would mean that the crop in
Wilson county would run about $50
pounds to the acre.
The farms he says are selling
their best tobacco, since the poor
grades are not br;<ging what they
feel is a fair price. They think that
when the best tobacco is sold and the
trade realizes the shortness of the
crop that the poor grades will ad-
vance. -e-----
The gentleman says he believes
that the bulk of the crop will be
sold in. about two, weeks and the
sales will fall off considerably.

FIRST VOTE ON i
-
GERMAN TREATY
Will be Taken in the Senate
This Afternoon. Formal
Agreement Between
REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATS

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1.-The
first vote on amendments to the
German Peace Treaty will be taken
in the Senate tomorrow afternoon.
Formal agreement was reached
late today by Republican and Dem
ccratic leaders to call up at o'clock
the SO amendments proposed by Sem
ator FALL Republican of New Mex
leo, adoption of which would elm
mate the United States from rep
1esentation on numerous foreign
commissions created by the treaty.
The agreement provides for discus
sion under the five minute rule and
vote before adjournment tomor-
row night.
Democratic leaders declared to-
night that all of the amendments
would be beaten. Some RepubIi-
cans admitted privately that the
vote would not be an accurate test
OF the lineup of the forces on the
question of ratification of the treaty
with its League of Nations cove
spokesmen have stated that they
VI ouId inform President Wilson that
as matters stand now the treaty
cannot be ratified without reserva-
tons.
Action by the Senate on the Fall
amendment will clear the way for
consideration of the pact andhasten
its final disposition. The opinion
was expressed today by a senator
high in the councils of the majority
party, that treaty discussion might
end in two weeks with vote i'm
IL ediately thereafter.
This view was quite at variance,
however, with that expressed by
ware, who in the course of a twenty
thousand word speech, declared at
the present rate of progress it would
require two, if not four months
tc hear all that may be said con-
corning the wisdom of ratification.
There is no doubt of the growing
desire among Senators to cut short
the speeches, and while not at
tempting to shut off debate, to urge
fewer words in view of the admitted
belief that neither side now expects
to change one vote by weeks or ora
tor;.
Senator Wolcott devoted the great
er part of his address to the Irish
| question and declared the League
of Nations covenant supplied the
method by which the cause of Ire
land colud be brought before an
impartial tribunal for bearing while
rejection of the covenant would
deprive her of the long sought op-
| portunity.
In announcing that he would vote
| for reservations that would give
the league chance to live and Am
| erica a chance to fulfill her mission
| Senator Mclean said if the Senate
rejected them he would vote to re-
| turn the whole of the medieval vol
ume to its authors.
