sion is general tonight that the politi-

siderable strain in the past "a hours,
authoritative reports indicating that

tinue In office.
Influenced by his unionist colleagues,
particularly with reference to the in
ternatlonal position. as 1t would be
affected by a change in the premier
ship at this time, Mr.. Lloyd George is
said TO be at least ready to hold his
resignation in allegiance. 1t is unders
stood that assurances Of ttbe support of
these leaders were given qastsnight at
a dinner given by Lord Bifkenhead

lister and the lord chancellor, there

Statement in Letter Purporting
to Come From Murderer to
Los Angeles Police.
SAYS HE is NATIVE
OF SOUTH AMERICA
Confession Is Signed by Man
Well Known in Moving Pic

LOS ANGELES, March GA brief
part OF the ten-page hand written let
ter purporting to be a confession to
the murder here February 1 of Will
liam Desmond Taylor, film director,
mailed to the Los Angeles police de-
partment from Atlantic City, n. T.,
February az, and received in this city
March 4, was made public tonight by
David L. Adams, captain of detectives.
The part made public read:
We South Americans always take
care OF our women. We are hot headed
and see that swift justice is meted out
to those who wrong us.
"I killed the -, and even this is a
mild description of the man who, hid
ing behind a polished manner. won the
regard of many women, only to cast
them aside when tired of them for a
new playthipg."
The confession, according to Cap
tain Adams. was signed by the name OF
a man VINO occupied a prominent
place in the motion picture industry
and whose wife was native of South
America. 1t was said that the man
had left Los Angeles about the time
had been considered by the police in
connection with the crime.
This is the only part OF the document
which has been made public and the
only part to be read by other than Of
ficials. Captain Adams stated; he said
a newspaper had been permitted to
photograph the section quoted to make
comparison of handwriting.
Detectives We're busy today check
ing statements made in the "confes-
sion" from Atlantic City and in an
other letter received by the police
shortly after the Staying.
The previous letter, it was said, and
the confession contained the Identical
statements as to persons, times and
places. and the former was considered
from the viewpoint of its apparent
contribution to the latter.
An examination by experts OF the
Atlantic City communication, which
was written upon the stationery of a
well known hotel there, proved it was
not written by Edward T. Sands, miss
ing former butler secretary to Taylor,
it was stated.
This confirmed a previously an
nounced view of the detectives, they
said, as Sands, so far as known, is not
married, while the confession, they
added, was made by a husband. They
stated that the letter stated the mans
wife had first engaged in an affair"
with Taylor, only to be "scorned" by
him later.

NATIONAL GUARD
GIVEN VERDICT

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 15.-Verdict
for $4,000 with interest at per cent
from October 1, 1917, was given Com
pany A in its suit against Edmund
A. Hughes for conversion of personal
property in the Armory during the
war by a jury which reported in dis
trict court at 1880 o'clock last night
to Judge A. j. Coffey, the total verdict
being over $1,000.
The jury in it's verdict allowed vir-
tually the total claim of Company A.
The original suit was for $4,000 but
attorneys, saying they learned in their
investigation that considerable prop
erty had been taken which had not
been included in the original suit,
amended the complaint and sued for
$4,000.
The case opened Tuesday afternoon
in district court. The jury received
the case about p. M yesterday and
reported in open court at 1880 pm.
1t is expected it will be appealed.
The suit was styled Company A.
North Dakota National Guard Train
ing School, a corporation, VS.. Ed
mund A. Hughes. It was originally
started by W. A. Anderson, assistant
encouragement, but prosecuted to
its conclusion in district court after
vote of directors of Company A.
Company A Allegations
Company A alleged that at the time
The members left for foreign service
there was valuable personal property
left in the armory. When they re-
turned it was gone. The directors of
Company A who authorized the bring
ing Of the suit were Major A. B.
Welch, L. H. Langley, Ferris Cordner
and Ward Preston. Among the most
active in prosecuting the case was
Herman Brocopp, who was decorated
in France for bravery.
The personal property which Com
fany A alleged that Mr.. Hughes con
verted to his own use included Is
steel lockers, part of which it was al
legged were taken to the coal mine at
beulah; steam boiler, 800 chairs, an
electric player piano, $50 pair of roll
Ter skates, much furniture and rugs.
1t was alleged by individuals that be-
longings of individual soldiers in the
lockers were taken, including gifts
from local people which could not be
taken in foreign service under army
regulations, but these were not in
cluded in the suit of the company.
Company A alleged when the soldiers
returned they found the defendant had
entered into possession of lease on
authority of letter of the late Capt.
John Murphy. The authenticity of
Murphy's signature and his authority
was questioned by the plaintiff. De-
tense attorneys also claimed no pro-
perty was converted but that the lock-
srs which were taken were paid for.
