Philadelphia, Dec. 2-In a signed statement given out by the police early today, Peter D. Treadway, one of the trio under arrest in connection with the killing of Henry T. Peirce, manufacturers agent, who was beaten to death in his apartment here Nov 22,7 is alleged to have ad- mitted that he and Al. Smith, also known as Marion Elliott. were the slayers, Treadway, in a verbal state ment last night, according to the po- lice, assumed full responsibility for the killing and did not mention Smith as having taken any part in it. Tn both statements he abso1ved J. A. Moss and Marie "Boots' Phillips the other two prisoners, from any blame. declaring they were only innocent witnesses to the killing.
 Today Treadway is quoted by the detectives as saying that Smith struck the blows which knocked Pierce to the floor. Smith is the only one of the four suspects not yet ap- prehended. He has been traced as far as Steubenville, Ohio.
 Robbery was the motive, according to the alleged signed confession which says that Treadway and Smith, unknown to Moss and the girl, killing to hold up Peirce and that | they suggested the party in his apartment for that purpose.
 The five members of the party smith, Moss, IreadWay, Marie Phil | lips and Peirce, went to the apart | ment about 10 o'clock at night, the | confession says, and continues: "Peirce and Marie went in ahead | and I followed, leaving the room a | few minutes later to motion to Moss | and Smith to come in. Moss went in | first and I followed, passing my re- volver to Smith in the rear
 | "Peirce was in the act of taking a | drink when Smith confronted him | with a gun and blackjack, ordering | him to throw up his hands. Peirce l was intoxicated and at first thought | it was a joke, but realizing that it was real holdup, he refused to com | ply. Smith then struck him several | times over the head with the black | jack, until it broke. He then beat
 Peirce. with the pistol until this also
 broke. Cursing me for their weak l ness, he grasped a pipe wrench and
 continued the beating. As Peirce
 sank to the floor I slapped a towel
 over over hs face and finding him still brea thing I held the towel tight | ly until I was sure he was dead.
 Marie and Moss left the room | after the first blows were struck, and
 returned to her apartments where we
 later picked them up and fled ir ] Peirce's motor car"

 Virginia smiled slowly-in delicious contemplation of her own idea looked at her in amazement-and then something that was going on across the room startled me even more.
