Hogle indicated he would demand
copies Of the proposed budget for 1924
he furnished Immediately by County
Auditor Leo K. Fesler, to facilitate
acton at the council meeting Sept.
As.
According to FNesler, the 1924 budget
calls for $1,105,S70 in excess of the
amount asked last year, the total
budget for next year being $2,954. 500.
Fesler said he would be able to re-
duce the Decent levy on the 800 as
sessment to 81 cents by virtue OF a
surplus of $4,000 from last year
budget.
Characterizing the surplus as re-
suit Of Juggling" figures, Hogle
said:

budget item by item, and see that
county offices and institutions are not
granted too much money. but also
that no departments are skimped to

PRISONER TELLS
AUTHORITIES HOW
HE KILLED WIFE
Story Of AII-Night Trip in
Auto With Body Is
Related,

BIZ United Press
CHARLESTON, ILL.,, Aug. ga
story of how he drove through the
long stretch of the night with the
dead body OF his wife in the back
seat of his automobile, in an effort to
find nerve enough to kill himself,
was told the coroner's jury by Bruce
Weiman, who Is held on a charge Of
murder.
Weiman yesterday surrendered to
the sheriff and admitted he murdered
his wife and carried her body through
out the night in the back seat Of his
automobile. The body was round
covered with a robe in the rear Of
the car.
Tells of Other Man
He told the coroner's jury, which
held him for murder. without bond,
that he caught his wife with another
man in Decatur hotel. He got her
to accompany him t. Charleston and
shot her as she sat beside him.
He said he had planned TO kill him
self Immediately after shooting his
wife, but lost his nerve when he saw
his wife's body slump to the floor Of
the car. He said he drove all night
with the body trying to get nerve
enough to kill himself. With the
break of dawn he said he decided to
give himself up and let the law take
It's course.
Note Is Found
Authorities are not entirely salts
fed with Weiman's story and are,
checking every angle. Weiman abso-
iutely refused to throw any light on
a note found in the bottom OF the car.
The note pieced together by the
sheriff read:
Take care OF Carl"
The note undoubtedly refers to Mrs,
Weiman's son by a former marriage.
Authorities want to know If Mrs
Weiman, advised that she was to be
killed., wrote the note or whether
Weiman himself scrubbed it after he
killed his wife

Engineer Before Professors Finds Few
Faults With Paving

City acceptance of Twenty-ninth St.
pavement from Capitol Ave. to River
side park appeared probable today,
following tests made of the concrete
base by John Elliott, city engineer
Tuesday.
Property owners who said the con-
crete base appeared faulty and mem
bers of the board of works were with
Elliott as he opened the asphalt
pavement in fifteen places along the
street.
At only one place, he said, the con-
crete appeared soft. At one place,
where property owners said they
scoopd up the concrete in a bucket
just before the surface was laid, tests
showed concrete to be hard.
Elliott said he would make de-
tailed report probably Friday.
Property owners had filed their pro-
tests with the State board Of accounts.
