CRAZED MURDERER
CONFESSES CRIME

Chicago - Nolan Robinson, 20, fu-
gitive from an insane asylum, was
captured here today by officers who
have been in hot pursuit of him since
he appeared at his former home near
Wheaton last night and left it only af-
ter he had fatally stabbed and beaten
his wife, his FIVE year-ofd son, and his
parents-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. L. B..
Brown, aged seventy-five and seventy
years respectively.
The slayer's weapons were butcher
knife and piece of lead-pipe. Hrs
victims were left insensible and are
not expected to live. After the crime
he fled toward Chicago and was found
this morning sitting deiectedly in a
suburban railroad station. His clothes
were covered with blood.
When questioned by the officers he
talked freely about the crime and
eventually RECALLED them with all its
grewsome details.
"When / teIephoned my wife that I
had escaped from the asylum and
wanted to come back horne,' he said,
"she told me that she didn't want to
see me. I went anyway. When ! got
there she met me in the kitchen. She
told me to go away and never come
back. picked up the piece Of lead
pipe and knocked her to the floor.
After that / stabbed her with the bu-
cher knife. When her mother came
L.o4 L., Ja,.-,,- - Had
and stabbed her, too. After that I
went into the bedroom where her faith
er was. He was awake but he's par
alyzed and couldn't do much. I put
him away with the lead pipe and then
attacked the baby in its crib"
At this point Robinson broke down
and expressed regret for his action.
Quoted, he said it was love for the
baby that made him commit the
crime. He has been confined in a
Chicago jail pending developments in
the case.
Physicians at Wheaton hold out no
hope for the recovery Of any Of his
victims.
Robinson is an ex-sailor twenty
three years old. He has seen four
years service in the navy. During the
war he served with distinction aboard
the liner Cyclops which was torpedoed
by submarine. He was aboard the
vessel at the time Of this disaster.
It's circumstances are believed to have
unbalanced his mind.
Previous to the murder he had been
confined at an asylum near Wheaton
to which he had been committed at the
advice Of the government alienists.

FOUND WITH BAD CUT
 IN HIS RIGHT EYEBROW

A man who gave his name as John Con- nell, but was too much dazed to tell anything more, was brought to police headquarters Monday night about 1oS0 o'clock after he had been found by Of ficer John Carroll leaning against a gaso- line pump near Burnham square. Connell had bad cut and bruise in his right eyebrow. He told the policeman that an automobile had hit him, but later when asked what his name was and what had happened to him only stared in a dazed sort of way and gave no answer
 Captain D. J. Twomey had Dr. Louis T. Cassidy called, who tended to he cut above the mans eye and then had him sent to the hospital. It is said that Con- l nell recently ran a grocery store on Franklin street From investigation made by the police, they felt that it was more likely that he had received his | cut in a fall against the curb thar l through being hit by an automobile.
