Tells How Stolen
 Securities Were
 Put Upon Market

New York, May 1.-Amazing de- tails of the methods used in market ing securities valued at millions of dollars that were alleged to have been stolen by Wall street messen- gers for "Nick" Armstein and "Nicl1" Cohen, fugitives from justice are re- Sullivan, former member of the Con- solidated Stock Exchange, now on file in the federal court.
 The confession was made in testi- mony taken by U. S.. Commissioner Gilchrist during the last month and shows that brokers to whom the stol- en securities were taken for negotia- tio nobtained loans on them from reputable firms. Sullivan is under indictment. A police search for Arnstein for several months has been futile.
 According to Sullivan's tseimony about $600,O00 worth of the stolen securities came into his possession on which he obtained $25O,0O0 and gave the thieves $125,OO0. The stocks were sold in small lots at one-fourth of their market value, changing hands in saloons, street corners and hotels and hotel rooms in various cities.
 Feedral and county officials here believe that banks and brokerage houses in the U. s. and Canada have close to $2,O00,0O0 of stolen securi- ties on hand but are not aware of the fact owing to ingenious methods used in disposing of them as collat- eral for loans.

 Hearst advocated limiting the size of Sunday issues to the size of their daily issues and none to "be over "A pages"
 Asked by Senator Reed, if it were not true that publishers of the smaller dailies are suffering because they are unprotected by contracts and are forced to buy their paper in the open market, Munsey said that 1t probably was true. He said he was not informed as to their situa- ticn, but believed that the situation confronting both big and small pa pers practically was the same.

WATSON INSISTS

 GRAVE OF WOMAN
Alleged Murderer Will be Yak en on Search by Off,
 cialS
SEEKS NOW ONLY TO
 PRESERVE HIS LIFE
District Attorney Says More Mur- ders May Be Brought to Light and Story Will AstOund
 World

Los Angeles, May 1.-Walter An drew Watson, who is alleged to have ! married a score of women and con- fessed that four of them died violent deaths, protested today to officers that he had told them the truth as to the location of the grave of Nina Lee Deloney with whose murder he is charged.
 q hope you will believe me-" he protested to officers who have been searching in vain for the grave in a desolate portion of eastern San Diego county. "If I were stronger I could go to the place with my eyes shut" he said.
 Watson then told the officers of three trips to the grave made after he slew the woman with a hammer on the first day of their honeymoon trip according to an alleged confes- sion made Thursday night.
 The first, he said, was to bury the body, which he said, he stripped of all clothing.
 The second, he stated was to bury the clothing, a precaution, he said, he had forgotten on the first trip.
 Thethird, he added, was to make certain he had oblitetrated all signs of grave and of the ashes of the clothing.
 When this additional data had been established, officials arranged to take Watson to the eastern part of San Diego county near the lower Califor- mia line the latter part of next week so that of next week so that he could locate the grave.
 Previously, Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attorney, who had hurried to hunt for the Deloney body shortly after Watson's alleged confession, gave up the search until Watson was able to accompany them.
 His attorney stated he had coun- seled Watson to. make the alleged confession outlining to the prisoner the possibility of life sentence in California if he assisted the officers as opposed to possible death sen tetnce under other circumstances.
 q know lam in for it," the attor- ney quoted Watson, "All I ask is that you save my life. will tell the whole truth to the district attorneys, and the officers who arrested me-"
 Woolwine said he was convinced Watson committed more murders than the man was alleged to have confessed. He said he planned to "grill" Watson as soon as the pris- oner's physical condition would per init.
 q believe the final story will as- tound the whole world," he said. "He has not denied he did away with more than four women whose murders he confessed to me. We shall probably learn more when we have chance for long, undisturbed talk"
 The officers stated he told them today of another marriage, unsus- pected by them, to Mrs. Watt, in Winnipeg, Man., Canada, with whom he lived only one day.
