MEDFORD. Mass, August IA
Nunie G.. Tsekos of Franklin, n. H.,
was arrested early today charged
with murder, after two boxes con-
tanning the dismembered bodies of
two women were found in field here
The police said Tsekos had confessed
that he killed his wife, Natalie, and her
mother, Mrs Katherine Adams, last
Saturday night.
According to the alleged confession.
Tsekos quarreled with his wife and
her mother at their home in Franklin
over money matters and he declared
they attacked him with a bat and a
knife. He said he overpowered them
and then stabbed his wife and cut
Mrs. Adams throat. He dragged their
bodies to the cellar.
Took Children to Boston.
Sunday morning, the confession con-
tinues, he took his three small chill
dren and was driven to Boston in an
automobile by Charles A. Clarke of
Franklin. He left the children at his
mothers home and returned home.
Sunday night, he said, he went to the
cellar. dismembered the two bodies
with knife and put them in wooden
boxes, mailing the covers down.
Tsekos told the police that on Mon
day morning he arranged with Clarke
to drive him to Boston again. They
started late in the day with the two
boxes in the car. Last night, Clarke
told the police, he became suspicious
as to the contents of the boxes. On a
pretext he stopped the car and noti-
fed a policeman, who said he would
report the matter, but did not appear
to think it necessary to take any i'm
mediate action. Clarke said he then
decided to drive on.
Put Boxes in Field.
Late at night the two men reached
West Medford. Finding a bridge
closed they stopped. Clarke said that
Tsekos carried the boxes into a field.
While he was doing this Clarke put
his finger into a hole in one of the
boxes and thought he felt flesh. He
ran down the street and told his story
to the first policeman he met.
Early today policeman saw man
running down a street, evidently in
tending to board a trolley car. He
ran after him, placed him under ar
rest and took him to the police sta
tion. There the man admitted that he
was Tsekos. His alleged confession
was made in the presence Of the chief
OF police.

Which Will Be Published
Tomorrow in
The Evening Star

Mr.. Bell, dean of American
newspaper correspondents in
Europe, has been twenty years
in London. He was the first
man to break down the British
objection to newspaper inter-
views. He was the first man to
get an interview with a British
secretary of state for foreign
affairs (Sir Edward Grey). He
was the first to interview a
British lord chancellor. He per-
suaded two British field mar
shals and the admiral of the
fleet to submit to Interviews.
And now he caps the climax
of an unparalleled career in this
sphere of journalism by inter
viewing the prime minister Of
Great Britain. whom Ambassa-
dor Harvey has described "as
coming nearer to speaking the
American language than any
other British statesman of his
tory"

SPECIAL COURT SESSION
Judge West COnvenes Federal Body Of
Western Texas District.

Del Rio, Tex, Jan. 31.-A special
session of federal court for the West
ern district of Texas. Del Rio division.
met here Monday, Judge Duval West
presiding. W. C. Williams. assistant
district attorney represented the at
torney's offic.
Sixty-two jurors we're in attendance,
from which number % were chosen for
the grand jury. The others were
empanneled as petit jurors, but we're
discharged and told to hold themselves
in readiness for attendance at the
regular session in March.
Kenneth 6. Thompson of Maverick
county, was named foreman. Judge
West, in his charge to the jury dwelt
upon the importance of not allowing
outside influence to affect them and
read the law covering this phase. He
made no specific reference to any
particular law violations that he de-
sired considered but said the jury was
to- consider such matters as might be
laid before it by the district attorney.
Judge West explained that the selec.
ton of the jury from outside the Del
Rio division, which has never been
done heretofore. was not a reflection
upon the integrity of the people of
this division, and that he did not de-
sire anyone TO think that it was. He

TELLS OF DRAINAGE
Scientific Society Hears Discussion on
Uses Of Water on the Farm.

Irrigation and drainage, C. II. Al
word, of the agricultural department of
the Chamber of Commerce, said in an
address TO the Technical Club Tuesday.
are so closely related that in any irri-
gated district comprising an extensive
territory some system of drainage must
be provided. If this is not done. he
said, the land on the lower levels will
be oversupplied with water, and the
land thus destroyed will be in excess
of the land reclaimed.
Mr.. Alvord has made a study OF ag-
riculture, specializing in irrigation and
drainage. For six years he directed
the water supply and control of the
Taft ranch in Southeast Texas. Tues
day he told Of practical iarm prob
lens in irrigation and drainage and ex-
planned how plants obtain their food
through moisture in the soil and of the
ways water is disposed of when it en-
tiers the soil.
Where large amounts of irrigation
water are used, the surplus must be
removed. he said. Excessive irrigation
will not take the place of cultivation,
and the aeration of soil is absolutely
necessary. not only because il develops
the available food in the soil, but also
for the reason that it increases the tenn
perature of the soil and promotes a
rapid growth of plants in the early
spring.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-01-31

explained he had decided to select the
grand jurors from outside the division
because OF the sparsely settled nature
of this section as the law provides
that no man shall be compelled to serve
more than once a year, and had he
selected the jurors from the division,
ii would have been necessary to select
some who have served within the last
year.
