NINTH MURDER
IS CONFESSED
BY BLUEBEARD
Bigamist Sentenced to Life I'm
prisonment-Claims Arkan-
sas Is Native State.

Los Angeles, Cal, May l0.-The
confessed higamist, murderer. sem
fenced here today to life imprison-
ment under the name of James P.
Watson, this afternoon. according
to District Attorney Thomas Lee
Woolwine, told that official of the
murder of a ninth woman, and
stated his true name was Dan Hol-
den and that he was native of Ar
kansas.
The ninth alleged murder was that
of Eleanor Frazier, who, according
to the district attorney. Holden ad-
mitted he had drowned in the Spo-
kane river, above the falls, near the
city of Spokane.
Holden was quoted by the district
attorney as saying he had married
the Frazier woman in Seattle year
ago and 'had pushed her into the
river and thought she had been car
ried over the falls and crushed on
the rocks below
This cleared up the mystery sur
rounding the fate of the woman
known previously to officers as "Ele-
amor" They had obtained some in
formation concerning her, enough to
believe she was one of the mans
victims, from papers found in his
possession.
Holden declined to state i'll just
what part of Arkansas he had been
born and reared. He seemed de-
sirous of protecting his relatives,
officers stated, and would say only
that he was a member of "a re-
spectacle family"

BLOW
SAFE|N BLUFFS
TRADE DISTRICT
Peoples Department Store
Robbed During Night and
$4,000 Taken-PoIice
Find No Clues.

Yeggmen blew the safe in the
Peoples department store, 316 West
Broadway, Council Bluffs, Sunday
night and escaped with more than
$1,000 in cash. They left no clue.
The Peoples store is remodeling
and the burglars made their
entrance by a show window, at the
rear Of which was placed a strong
partition equipped with a trap door.
Because of the manner in which
the thieves found the trap door and
knocked it from the hinges, police
are led to believe that they were
well acquainted with the topography
before their attack.
Door Blown to Bits.
i Nose Bernstein, one of the pro-
prietors of the store, discovered the
safe when he arrived yesterday
morning.
The. door of the safe had been
blown to bits. Nitroglycerine had
been used, and the safe had been
soaped to eliminate noise.
Mr.. Bernstein told police that he
was in the Store as late as 10 p. M.
Sunday night and that everything
was all right then.
Yeggs Forget Crowbar.
The Peoples store employees no
night watchmen. The loss is cover
ed by, insurance, according to Mr..
Bernstein, who said he did not know
just how much the yeggmen secured
except that there was more than
$1,000 in the safe yesterday.
After blowing the safe, the yegg-
men battered down the rear door of
the establishment and escaped by
way of the alley. They left a three
foot crowbar lying by the looted
safe.
This store is in the heart of the
business district and only one block
from the police station. At 4:20 a.
M, Captain Shafer and other Off
GERS heard a muffled explosion and
remarked about it. but attributed it
20 an automobile muffler.

Lively Argument Between
Republicans and Democrats.

Washington. May 10.--Campaign
expenditures were the subject of a
lively tilt in the senate between re-
publicans and democrats.

Coleman Du Pont in charge of Sc
curing contributions.
Senator Smoot. republican. Utah,
denounced the report as without
foundation. The democratic party,
he said, was in better position to
raise funds, but, he had no idea
that either party would attempt to
raise as much as $l0,000,000.

but that both parties will use great
deal of money this year, but the

Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
author of the pending resolution for
inquiry into campaign expenditures

have an opportunity to explain his
various actions since he became con-

explain why he had designs made,
