Business has not yet turned the COR

approaching the corner. No nation
could go thru the great industrial
development which this country eX-
perionced during the war without a
natural reaction. This reaction we
are passing thru today. We have
already reached the end of the de-
cline in the security markets. These
markets are we'll on their way up

cluded Mr.. Babson 1--WE should reach

PERCY KITER, 13, CONFESSED
TO CAUSING DEATH OF CHU VI
Continued from page one)

Apparently unconcerned over the
entire affair Kiter is said to have
then gone back to the country school
that he was attending and to have
written an examination.
When Van Walleghen failed to
show up Wednesday evening at home
search was started for him. His
clothes were found on the river bank,
but it was not until nearly noon on
Thursday that the body Of the lad was
taken from the river. County of
ficials had been called in previous to
the finding Of the body, and immedi-
ateiy the body was examined suspi-
cious Of foul play rose in the minds
Of the officers from the nature Of the
marks on the neck and head Of the
body. The body was quickly taken to
the Branch undertaking establishment
where an autopsy was performed by
Doctors Wheeler and McNabb. This
showed little or no water present in
the lungs of the dead lad, and con-
WINGED officers that Van Walleghen
had come to his death by foul play.
A coroners jury, which had been i'm
paneled after going over such evil
dence as there was, adjourned until
Tuesday, so as to allow the officers
plenty of time to make a quiet in
vestigation of the affair, the Of
ficers feeling that they could work
to far better advantage if the pub
lie generally did not realize that Van
Walleghen had been a victim Of foul
play.
Their investigation quickly brought
knowledge that a woman had seen
Van Walleghen, Smith and Kiter go
ing towards the "high banks" to-
gether on Wednesday and Kitcr and
Smith were quickly taken in tow by
the county officials. Conflicting
stories told by Kiter, when the Of
fcers grilled him caused them to hold
him in Jail pending a further investi-
cation and they continued to center
their efforts towards a solution of
the connection of Kiter and Smith
with Van Walleghen. AS the in
vostigation continued the webb
seemed to weave tighter and tighter
around Kiter and Friday he confess
ed to the officers. Smith also told
his story to Prosecutor Clary, and it
tailed with that told by Kiter. Kiter
admitted that he had forced young
Smith to aid him in undressing and
disposing of the body, and threaten
ing him so that he would not tell
what had happened.
Tuesday the coroner's jury recon-
vened and brought in its formal YER
dict in the affair and was dischars ed.
Saturday Percy Kiter was taken
into Juvenile court before James G..
Xress. judge of probate, who is also
ihe head of the Juvenile court. Be-
cause of the youth of Kiter, officers
found that there were limitations As
t.. the punishment ilat could he
handed ont to the lad. Judge Kress
entered an order which COM
mited the lad to the Industrial
school at Lansing until he reaches
the age of Is years. If he proves n
model inmate, the authorities at the
school will release him at that time.
If not they will have the right g
keep him at the, industrial school I'M
til he reaches the age Of Il years.
Prosecutor Clark, who headed the
investigation, in delving into the af-
fair, is to be congratulated on its
cpoodv colutiop
