throat. Sidney Ware was standing
there when did it and helped me put
the body in the we'll"
This was the substance of con-
fesion of Sam Duckworth, made to-
day in his eel! at the county jail, that
he killed his wife, Mrs. Pearl Duck
worth, last Wednesday, where the
body, with her throat slashed, was
found in a well, near their home.
The confession was made 70 Sheriff
Harvey, in the presence Of Deputies
Summers and Price, and E. L. Fos-
ter, of Macon, special detective who
is in the city working with the sheriff
on other cases. The four went to
Duckworth's cell to interrogate him
with facts is their possession pointing
to his guilt. After listening to their
outline of the evidence in their pos
session he broke down and made a
confession to the entire deed He
did not inplicate the negro Ware,
whose home is across the road from
the Duckworth place on Green Per-
ry's farm, other than to say that he
was present and helped him dispose
of the body. The negro later admit
ted he stood within few feet Of the
couple with the murder was commit
ted, but resolutely denied that he as
sisted in putting the body in the WELL
II am going to tell the whole truth
and plead with the judge for mercy"
said Duckworth after he had finished
relating his story.
Duckworth and the negro both
identified the knife found beside the
well as belonging to Duckworth.
Duckworth said he slew his wife
between and o'clock in the after
noon, shortly before coming to Amer
icus. He remained in the city until
1924 o'clock, when he took the
train for Oglethorpe, then CAM back
from there on the G. 8. and F. to
Lilly, from which point he went to
the home of the relative not far
away where he was captured Thurs
day.
He would not implicate his aged
mother in any respect, but took the
entire blame. II don't know wheth-
er she was in the house or in the
yard where she could see it" he said;
"at any rate she had nothing to do
with it.
At another place in his story he
said, "If / had it to do over again
I never would kill her. He blamed
liquor for the tragedy.
Mrs. Duckworth, the mother, when
confronted by the officers after the
confession, insisted that the only
thing she knew about the killing was
that the body was found in the well.
She again rallied at the officers for
keeping her locked up.
Sidney Wares wife, Liza Ware,
is expected to be released shortly.
She is known to have been in Ameri-
Gus on the afternoon of the killing,
going home on the 80 train, which
was after the killing took place.
The confession came when the Off
GERS went to make last effort to Sc
cure a statement from Duckworth
preliminary to commitment hear
ing. Witnesses had been summoned
and it was planned to have him and
the others in the case given hearing
today. The news of the confession
came when the sheriff sent word
from the Jail that the witnesses would
not be needed, as he had admitted
the crime.

When Beloit, Kans., residents
learned that DIR. D. S. O'Brien had
buried his dog, Jack, in Elmwood
cemetery, petitions of protest pour

a special referee and a district
court judge had looked up the law

Jack died year ago and his
place was hard to fill, because he

table, as if a human. He was bu-
ried in a special coffin with a silver
name plate and went to his first
resting place under a pile of flow
