and Leads Way to Victims,
Body Buried Under Coal.

CHICAGO. July 2S.-Thomas Fitz-
gerald, 80, married, yesterday confessed
70 the police that he killed little Janet
Wilkinson, six years old. a ~neighbor's
child. last Tuesday, by st~rangling her,
Then he accompanied the police to his
home and showed them where he had
concealed the body beneath some coal.
The solution Of the mystery which has
stirred Chicago come when Fitzgerald,
after five s~leepless days and nights
constantly under a gruelling examina-
ton, called for an officer and made his
confession. He sobbed as he gave
details Of his crime.
The crowd that surrounded the FitZ-
gerald home when the body was re-
moved groaned and then cries of indig-
nation against the confessed murderer
were heard. A strong guard of police
men was, thrown around him n he
was hurried away to a cell.
Although Fitzgerald has been termed
a moron" by the police, the criminal
machinery proceeded as usual. Coroner
Hoffman quickly selected a jury and
opened the inquest, States Attorney
Hoyne assigned James c. O'Brien, his
chief assistant in murder trials who has
won more death penalties in such cases
than any Of his co-proseeutors, on the
case. #
Fitzgerald was night Waterman at the
Virginia, a highly reputable residential

In the same building lived the Wilkin-
son family. Janet was one Of four
children. their father a grocer.
Last December Fitzgeral1 first showed
a sinister attraction for the child, the
father testified at the inquest. She
came home after being at his home
and told of mistreatment. The parents
preferred to hush up the affair and
Fitzgerald escaped prosecution. But
when little Janet disappeared last Tues
day suspicion was aroused against Fitz-
gerald. o.
Fitzgerald was arrested. He was
questioned about the child but denied
everything. Every known means of
forcing. Fitzgerald to confess was
brought to bear.
Detectives dug into the coal piles in
the basement of the hotel. They sifted
ashes. They searched the Fitzgerald
home. Lake Michigan was dragged for
a mile along the shore, Then when the
police were about to despair, Fitzgerald
collapsed and made his confession.
While the inquest was being held and
the officers of the law were planning
for early disposal of the case, DR.. j.
Whitney Hall Of the county lunacy COM
mission asserted that Fitzgerald ap-
| peared to be a 'psycho-sexual case
n that he was not necessarily insane.
Late last night the police gave credit
the Chicago Herald III Examiner, for
finally breaking down Fitzgerald's de-
| mails. Romanoff stayed by the prison.
er's cell and at frequent intervals kept
