the head of the bed at the wrists. The
girls clothing vas hung in various
parts Of the room and had apparently
no. been disturbed. 'Kraemer testified
hat he found the girls pocketbook.
Defense Objects. g.
A question by the states attorney
as to the contents of the pocketbook
brought forth an objection from w.
II. Barnett, attorney for Gunner.

the attorneys and the judge overruled
the objection. Kraemer said that the

book and a few cents. The pillows,
he said. were on the bed without slips.
These were removed while the body
was examined. The body vas left in
its original position and vas photo
graphed. Kraemer said. Several Of
these photographs were here offered
in evidence.
Show Position of Body.
They show that the girl was lying
face downward, her arms pulled
up above her head and swathed in
bandages where they were tied to the
bed above her head. The blood stains
can be plainly seen. There were
towels underneath the bed clothes.
Kraemer said. A portion OF the wall
paper close to the bed was removed
by Mr.. Kraemer, he testified. This
was placed in evidence. Itsshowss a
blood stain and the theory is
that the victims head came in contact
with the wall there.
Other photographs showed q dent,
semi-circular in shape. made in the
wall. which it is commended was made
by one of the blows which fractured
her skull. and blood stains on the
carpets of the room. These carpets
showing large stains were brought
into the court room at this point and

LINDSAY ADMITS
SW|NDL|NG WOMEN
OUT OF THOUSANDS
CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE
The Man Accepts All Blame
for the Transactions Admit
ting Swindling Mrs. Duke
and Others; Says Amount of
the Transactions Has Been
Exaggerated.

New York, Feb. 28.-Alfred E.
Lindsay accused OF swindling society
women out of nearly one million in
fake syndicate deals today confess
that many, of the charges against him
were true according to District At
torney Murphy.
Lindsay was arrested last night at
Overbroow, Pa, on an Indictment
charging grand larceny and was
brought to New York by detectives.
Lindsay accepted all blame for the
alleged transactions Mr.. Murphy
said and declared when he was ex-
posed in the newspapers he and his
wife discussed the possibilities of a
double suicide. He broke down and
sobbed while debating his confession
to stenographer.
Mr. Murphy said that Lindsay
frankly admitted taking money from
Mrs. W. H. Arnold and Mrs. Dorothy
Atwood which he was unable to pay
back, and also said he received large
sums from Mrs. Lillian M. Duke the
divorced W1I0 OIL Jas. D. DuhS, Inc
tobacco king.
He declared however, according to
Mr.. Murphy that the amounts he was
alleged to have received were grossly
excessive.
Lindsay, according to Mr.. Murphy,
said he had been paying the money
back to some of the women in week
-1y instal1ments.
He is alleged to have said, Mrs.
Atwood has been getting 1926 a
month and I gave her $125 to pay
her rent. Mrs. Carlotta Nillson, an
actress, received from me $4,000 dur
ing the month of December. They
have all been receiving it. I didn't
leave anybody high and dry although
I got into a mess. Miss Florence
James has been getting SITS month
for years.
Asked if he had received as mucf
as 100000 from Mrs Duke, Lind
say is said to have replied, 'That il
rubbish
.Was it anywhere near $3OO,00O?'
''No. Decidedly not. I am te11in,
you the Gods honest truth

men,"
