Tells of Deadly Assault Upon Man
| Along Lonely Road Near Alexan-
dria.s -
| By appealing to his sense of right
in the name of his mother and dead
wife, the Richmond police Saturday
broke down the defiant defense of
Fred Warren, and amid a flood Of
tears the young man confessed to
Captain of Detectives Alex S.
! Wright he was the man wanted for
deadly assault and robbery of a
Washington chauffeur.
This was the statement given out
at Police Headquarters yesterday
afternoon. Expecting to be brow
beaten and put through third de-
gree" Warren was completely taken
aback when Captain Wright put
fatherly hand upon his shoulder and
pleaded with him to consider his
| mother, his three sisters and his
dead wife.
Appealing to the young mans
better nature and talking to him as
! would a father, the detective cap
tain asked Warren to tell only the
truth, and, If guilty, not to add
perjury to his offenses against the
law.
Within fifteen minutes after being
ushered into Captain Wright's Of
flee, the young man had asked to
make complete confession, the po-
lice state. Although there is some
doubt about certain parts of the
confession, the police said they
were confident the statement of the
prisoner were in the main true.
Warren is % years of age and
was formerly of Holston, Washing
ton County, Va. The affair, the
result of which brought about his
arrest, happened on Wednesday
evening of last week, when he took
ride. in an automobile with
chauffeur known as James Cafes,
from Washington. On Thursday af-
ternoon at . o'clock laborer
found Cafes lying in deserted
highway near octoquan, in pool
Of blood, unconscious, with his
throat cut.
On. Friday. Warren was placed
under arrest in Richmond when he
is said to have attempted to sell
Cafes automobile for one third of
as value.
According to the, cc'.fcssion made
by Warren, he hired Cafes to drive
him to Alexandria, but, according
to his statement the chauffeur at
tempted to force him to go first
after some liquor. He refused and
attempted to. leave the car, accord
ing to his confession, when Cafes
attacked him,
In .ttes ensuing fight Cafes drew
a knife and. threatened to kill War
rem, the confession states. but the
latter toyk it-away from his adver-
sary and 'cut, his throat with it.
Warner. denies .robbing Cafes of S63,
which Cafes, who did not die, but,
is now in a Washington hospital in
a serious condition, declares he did.
Detective Thomas Sweeney and +.
NJ. Alligood, of Washington, took
the prisoner in charge after he had
signed the confession and will take
him back to Washington for trial
by automobile.

Or INTEREST To WOMEN
American Girls are
BARRIERS in France

The American woman Is in France
for service and there's nothing she
won't do. even to helping a member
of the A. r. F. get a hair cut.
Stella Wan of Fitchburg, Mass, one
Of the unit at the Y. w. c. A. Signal
Corps house at st. Nazaire, told the
story.
"1 was getting a manicure when a
sergeant came in inc wanted a hair
cut. None Of the clerks could speak
English n he didn't know a word of
French.
''The man started to cut his hair
and h soldier got cry much excited.
He was cutting his pompadour wrong,
it seemed. The man couldn't under
stand what he meant.
"The manicure and Embarrassing
rooms for women are used as barber
shops for the men. too, over here, and
I happened to be sitting next to the
soldier. So l offered to help him out.
I translated carefully, and the barber
followed my directions. And the
sergeant said he'd never had a better
haircut. Everybody. in the place was
laughing before we got through"
One of the requirements for Signal
Corps girls was hat they speak
French as luently as English so that
they could act as liason operators be-
tween the French and English ex-
changes.
The person who made that particu-
lar requirement had no idea that in
so doing he would be saving the locks
of one stranded soldier.

the difference in cost If the price of

The constant Strikes and discomfort
Of labor are caused largely by the

The government Is ware that II the
