New Jersey Man Confesses Cut
ting Throat of 19-Year-Old
Wife-Waitress Sought.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Feb. 2.
William Fitzsimmons confessed
early today, according to the police,
that he had killed his nineteen-year-
old wife at their home at Wood
bridge last Saturday. Mrs. Fltz-
simmons, who was the mother of two
children, was found Saturday noon
with her throat cut. Fitzsimmons
was taken into custody Immediately
but had stoutly denied, until today,
that he knew anything about the
murder.
Fitzsimmons' confession came after
detectives had started to search for
Miss Dolly Ryan. waitress. Detec-
tives charge that Fitzsimmons and
his wife had quarreiied about Miss
Ryan. Fitzsmmons admitted that he
had carried picture of Miss Ryan
in his watch and that his wife had
quarrelled about 1t only last Friday.
The police thought she might be able
to throw some light on the murder,
but have been unable to find her
The husband was put through a
severe grilling by the police. Until
early today he had answered all their
questioning with denials that he
knew anything about the murder. He
claimed that everything was all right
when he left his home to go to work
early Saturday morning. Mrs. Fitz-
simmons body was found shortly be-
fore noon on Saturday.
The police said Fitzsimmons told
them he had taken an overdose OF
some tablets the night before the
murder. They had been given to him
at the Raritan arsenal hospital,
where he was employed. The follow
ing morning his wife arose first. Fitz-
simmons said he felt "dopey," and
while sitting on the edge OF the bed
after dressing, his wife began to up
braid him for being so late.
without getting off the bed Fitz-
simmons took from his pocket a knife
he had used for killing chickens and
plunged 1t into his wife's throat. He
twisted the blade back and forth to
tear the windpipe. Mrs. Fitzslmmons
dropped TO the floor Fitzsimmons
stepped over the body, went down.
stairs, ate his breakfast, kissed his
two babies as usual and went to
work According to the police Fitz-
simmons said he thought the case
would appear one of suicide.
The waitress known as Dolly,
whose real name II is said is Ryan,
but who is known also as Reynolds
because of her resemblance to the
central figure in a metropolitan
tragedy of years ago. will be found
today, 1t Is expected.
Mrs Fitzsi nmons and the waitress
worked in the DUPONT powder plant
at Harkell, N. ]. Among the 5000
girls employed there, the two girls
were singled out yesterday by resi-
dents Dof the now almost depopulated
village as remarkable for their
beauty. Mrs. Fitzsimmons was
spoken of as too young to be con-
spicious. but dolly" was described
as "charmer." Fitzsimmons met
them when he was working there.

on the upstairs door and two on the
basement.
Then, going down the block, he
marked dozen other houses with
varying numbers of his cabalism. 1t
was noted that he marked only those
houses occupied by colored families.
In several instances. the number or

Wholesale liquor dealers will be

Wholesale liquor dealers will be per-
