UNDERWOOD BACK
 FROM CAMPAIGN TRIP

Washington October 16.-(Special.) The crowds that I addressed in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts" said Senator Under wood of Alabama, returning to Wash ington today, were what are properly described as listening crowds. The people appeared anxious to hear the issues discussed. especially the League of Nations, and indicated that their minds had not been positively and finally made up.
 "The crowds were large and reasona- bly enthusiastic. In addition to the league. l discussed finance and taxa tion, but did not talk tariff"
 The last reference was made because of editorials in Washington papers that Senator Underwood was preaching the necessity of tariff revision. He said today that it is his opinion that that the tariff will have to be amended to meet conditions resulting from the world war. but that he doubted the process of adjustment would be suf- ficiently completed by the conclusion of next year to warrant tariff legisla- ton within that period. The senator coming week will make speeches in Lexington, Covington and Louisville Kentucky. Monday week he will de- liver an address in Chattanooga, from which city he will go to Alabama. He is anxious to be in the state several days prior to the election.

James and Shuck then went to q
tailoring establishment to get suit
Of clothes belonging to James that had
been left there some time previously
for pressing. This suit was to replace
the one James was wearing and which
had bloodstains from where PauIs head
had touched him as they carried the
body out of the cnr. After getting this
suit they returned to Shuck's house,
where the clothes were changed, and the
bloodstained suit was wrapped in a
bundle with the bloodstaincd underwear
and a brick placed in the middle and
then taken TO Cooper river at kaighn
avenue. and thrown into the water, and
also bloodstained curtains Of the auto
mobile.
Spent Night in Resort
after dispoSing Of the bloodstained
clothes and curtains, they went to Mar
kct Street Ferry and hired q jitney that
took them to the Kaighn Avenue Ferry
TO 20 to Philadelphia and the Broad
Street Station, where it was dismissed.
"At Broad Street Station, another
taxi was procured that took them to
saloon and then to Il house of prostitu-
ton with two women. They remained
there overnight and part Of the next
day and returned to their own homes
that Wednesday night. They met again
the following day and met other girls
and continued to spend the money
taken from Paul in buying presents for
women and in riotous living.
This mode Of living continued until
Sunday, when both returned TO Cam
den. In the meantime, Detective
A. A.fg
been endeavoring to locate James at his
place of business and at his home, but
had been unsuccessful.
"On Monday. October II, the day
after James returned, he came with his
father in law TO the prosecutors office
and while admitting that he had taken
Paul to the ferry in his car, denied
knowing what had become of him. At
this time he also, in answer to ques.
tions, gave q detailed statement OF
where he had been from October 3 to
October II, and which statement, by
subsequent investigations, was found to
be untrue.
1T is also the purpose Of the state
to show that, when James returned to
his home on Wednesday night, the day
following the crime, he took his car for
repairs TO q garage owner at Mt. Eph-
rain. and had conversation with him,
which will be placed in evidence. The
car remained there for repairs for one
week and was gotten again on October
| 10, and it was then taken down the
county, nnd after the discovery of blood
| stains, on the floor boards and on the
rear seat, these were thrown away and
new seat purchased and new floor
| boards put In place. At the garage
where this work was done, james re-
| quested the garage owner 20 replace the
new seat with an old one, to avoid any
! suspicion that his wife might have.
Intended to Burn Body
THE state will also offer in evidence
/ conversation that the defendant
| James had with an intimate friend on
the Thursday following the murder, In

at the prosecutors Office on the Mon
day night he appeared there.
"The state will also show that on
Thursday, October IA, this defendant
and Shuck went back to the place in
the pine woods, where the body had
been placed, for the purpose of burying
It so as to prevent discovery. On the
way there they stopped and purchased
shovels and a rake. The rake was not
necessary and was bought merely as q
blind The shovels we're used to dig
the grave. An effort was first made
to dig the grave close by the body, but
they were unable to do so on account
of the roots of trees and underbrush
They then went along the road for about
seventy five yards until they found a
sandy place some ten or fifteen yards
in from the road. Here they dug a
small trench about four feet long and
two and one-haf to three feet deep.
They then returned to the body and
carried II from the bushes and trees to
the road, and being difficult to carry
they took rope out Of the car, with
which they tied the feet together and
attached the other end to the back Of
the automobile. The car was started
and the body dragged up the road to q
point opposite the trench. 1t was then
carried and dragged to the grave and
deposited. The trench not being long
enough, It was necessary to fold the
legs over the body toward the head and
In this position the body was covered
with earth and left. There was also
thrown into the grave the coat belong
ing to Paul, and which had been pulled
off as the body was dragged up the
road. In this coat was found the pack :
age OF checks that were to have been
delivered to the Girard National Bank.
Tells Of Finding Body
'afer the, burial of the body. they
threw the shove Is away as they came
through the woods and then returned to
their homes. W
The body of Paul was found Satur.
day afternoon, October 10, just two
days after its burial. by a party of gun :
ners who Immediately notified the au.
thorities. As soon as the body was
identified as that Of Paul, the arrest
of james was ordered.
After his arrest on October 16. he
continued to deny any knowledge OF the
crime and gave the same explanation of
his movements as he had previously
given in the prosecutors office. This
was to the effect that after leaving Paul
at the ferry, October 8. he met a girl
whom he did not know and took her
TO a bungalow at Clementon, remained
there Tuesday and Wednesday, and then
brought her back to Camden and went
home Wednesday night. That Thursday
he went back to the bungalow and re-
mained there until Sunday when he
returned to his fathers house.
The defendant maintained he knew
nothing of the crime as will appear ry
the several conversations he had with
officers, but finally made confession
which will be offered in evidence and in
which the defendant admits the facts
