and GiUeS Up.

VAN COUVER, B. c.. July 24.-Unable
to carry out his purpose OF committing
suicide because his nerve failed him, VIII
liam George Robbins, 80, today was in a
cell while police investigated the most
amazing story of wife murder that has
ever come to their attention.
According TO Robbins confession to the
police, made when he voluntarily gave
himself up, he first shot his wife in the
stomach Monday night, during a quar-
rel.
Realizing that she had but a short time
to live, the dying wife calmly discussed
with her husband the future of their two
young sons.
1t was agreed. Robbins told the police,
that he should finish her life and leave
beside her the revolver to indicate that
she had fired three shots into her brain
and then beat in her skull with the butt
OF the revolver.
The body he disposed of by placing it
in n tangle of brush.
Finally. after failing to kill himself, he
gave up and related his story.

TRUNK MURDER
CLEW LEADING
TO WINDY CITY
Identity of Hacked Girl Vic
tim Being Sought in
Chicago.
MANY THEORIES LOOSE

DETROIT, Mich, July 24.-Was
the hacked and mutilated corpse
shipped from Detroit to New York
in trunk by "A A. Tieturn," June
10, that of a Chicago woman?
Detroit police, baffled at every turn
for "a clew, will seek the co-opera-
ton of Chicago police today in an
effort to unravel the mysterious
trunk murder which came to light
yesterday in the New York office
of the American Railway Express
Company, by having them make
search of their records for a missing
woman answering the description of
the girl found in the trunk, her body
sliced by a surgeons knife and the
vital organs removed.
Mrs Lottie Brooks. manager Of the
apartment at 105 Harper avenue, the ad-
dress given by the shipper OF the trunh
coffin. told the police today that the
young couple, giving the name OF MT
and Mrs. f. Leroy. who left unGer m!s-
terious circumstances at about the time
the trunk was shipped. had told her they
were from Chicago and had talked Of
that city
Because Of the fendish mutilation of
the corpse. Detroit police are at a loss
for a motive for the murder.
All the vital organs. including the heart
and lungs. were removed. the tongue was
cut out. and the knees broken, leading
10 the belief that IL was either the work
Of a .aniac or the cold-bloOded and pBr-
posefuI blundering Of some one with a
knowledge Of surgery.
WORKING ON
TWO THEORIES.
Completely bafrled. the homicide squad
today began work on two theories.
First, that an illegal operation had re-
suited IN the death Of the girl~and the
vital organs removed to blot ont all
trace of the original crime and secondly
that she had been poisoned and the
organs removed for the same reason.
The cutting out Of the tongue leads
the homicide squad TO place the most
eredence in the poison theory. as the
tongue might have showed poison traces.
The trunk with its grewsome contents
was shipped from the Michigan Central
depot on June 10 on a prepaid slip, No.
241S at q cost OF S4.69, according TO
the records Of Chief Clerk Libby OF the
express office.
According 10 Mrs. Brooks, Leroy had
two trunks hauled away and police be
lieve the other trunk containing the
heart, lungs, tongue and other parts OF
the body was shipped TO some other
fictitious address where 1t is laying un-
claimed.
According to Chief Clerk Libby OF
the Detroit office of the American En-
press Company an eXpressman by the
name of Depot Lennon hauled the trunk
containing the body Of the hacked wom-
an from los Harper avenue 20 the Mich
