fession, according TO the authorities,
in which she related how she had suf-
fered for the past four years from the
alleged abuse OF her husband, whose
chief grievance appeared to be that she
was the mother OF his children. The
young woman. who appears TO be
dazed, broke down several times dur
ing her alleged confession and the
hearts OF the police authorities were
touched as she told how the four chill
dren. Marie, aged years; Leo, aged 4

der. she said. Her husband refused TO
go for a physician, despite the fact that
her mother was unconscious.

Mrs. Cabrera said she retired but had
to arise several times during the night

down stairs room. was fretful and Ca
brera, who was lying on a couch In a
down starts room called TO her several
times 10 attend the child. Finally Mrs,
Cabrera said she went down stairs and
cared for the child fearing that her hus-
band would harm the little one
About o'clock Mrs. Cabrera said the
child began crying again. Arising, she
went into a middle room on the second
floor OF the home and took the revolver
from a bureau drawer, and going down
stairs. walked 10 the couch where her
husband was lying with his eyes closed,
and shot him. Mrs. Cabrera said she
did not think he was asleep. After
being shot he said What did you do
that for ?"
Mrs. Cabrera said she ran from the
room, meeting her mother, who was
about to enter the room from te front
hallway. Grabbing her. she dragged
the mother into the street. where both
tainted.
In her confession Mrs. Cabrera said
that her father had been killed in the
Spanish army during the Spanish
