Virgil Decker, 10, Is Al
legged to Have Said In Adj
hitting Murder
OF LEROY LOVETT
AT WARSAW, IND.
Made No Mention of Plot
to Obtain Insurance
Money

| Warsaw Ind, March l9,-In a signed
statement last night, Virgil Decker 49,
wear old farm hand, admitted having
/ killed Leroy Lovett of Elkhart, accord
/ ing to an announcement by Sheriff
Moon. Decker in his statement said he
committed the crime unassisted, the
sheriff stated.
/ The devil drove me to it," said
Decker, when asked what was his mo-
tive in killing young Loyett.
In his confession he made no men
ton of a plot to obtain insurance
money!
OfkEials of koschiusko county to-
day continued their efforts to draw
from Decker, the reasons for the at
tack upon his chum.. In his confession
as given out by the sheriff, Decker said
he struck Lovett on the head with an
iron bar while he was asleep in a cot
tage on the Tippecanoe river near here
and several hours later returned to the
! cottage with a horse and buggy taking
his unconscious chum TO a nearby rail
road crossing, where he was struck by
a train.
Decker denied that the transfer OF
his own clothing to Lovett's body had
been part OF plan to collect insur
ance totalling nearly 10000, payable
to Fred Decker. his brother, in event
of the death by accident of Virgil
Decker.
In his confession Decker said that
about 10 a. m. on March II, he and
Loyett arrived at the cottage and
shortly lay down TO sleep Decker was
the first to awake his confession said
The piece Of iIr" i have just shosn
me is the piece which ! used to strike
Leroy on the head he said.
Thinking Lovett dead, Decker said he
went to the home Of his brother, and
returned about p. m
He said he found Lovett on the floor
and let him out of the cottage door
and helped him into the buggy. Sew

railroad crossing nearby trying to

ing the buggy with Leroy in the seat

Lovett died later from the injur-
les which it was at first believed he
sustained only in the railroad crossing
accident
THE reason I placed my suit Of over
alls and shoes on Leroy" said Decker,
was that I thought Leroy would be
cut so badly he could not be identified
and SOME OF my clothes would be found
on him and they would think it me
and would have a chance 70 get away.

A MAN OF ONE BOOK.
John Habberton Gave the Literary
World a Classic of His Times.

The death of John Habberton in New
Jersey, at 10 years, recalls to public
which had pretty well forgotten it the
name of the author of one of the most
popular stories ever written. "Helen's
Babies. published in 1875, is said to
have sold to 100000 copies an enor-
nous sale for that time-and was later
translated into half a dozen foreign
languages The book was talked about

ignorant of their connection and, there
fore, fail to appreciate their signif-
canoe.
One would suppose that the sale of a
quarter of a million copies of a story
would be the sure foundation for n
literary reputation and for future pros
perity. II did not prove so in Habber-
tons case He is, indeed, one of long
list OF authors known only by single
books. Edward Bellamy, author Of
Looking Backward" is perhaps the
most striking Of his companions in that
gallery, although Judge Albion w
Tourgee, who wrote half dozen novels
of the south during reconstruction, is
remembered chiefly by his "A Fools Err
