time, according to the Mckinney
girl. for he also told her. she said.
that he had another girl in
Bridgman, Mich, who also was in
the same condition y
It was the unborn babe which
really furnished the clue that.
brought the prospective father and.

Raber died she had come into the;

q warrant charging Zupike with
being responsible for her condition.
Then she relented and asked the
officers to hold UP the warrant
until she could see Zupke again.
The post norton on the body.
found last Sunday In wild and.
desolate spot not far from Zupke's
home, revealed her condition. It
was this fact that led the officers
to search the files Of st. Joseph
justice courts and discover the un-
served warrant against zupke. =
Zupke in his alleged confession
detailed how he had written the
girl to meet him in st. Joseph for,
the marriage. They met, she got
into his roadster and they drove
away.

thing to get me out Of this She
slid down in the seat Of the car
with her arms across her lap, l.
put my right arm underneath her
chin and against her throat and
held her there for some little time.
When thought she was dead r

the Pumpkin Vine Crossing. had
my arms around her and carried.
her Off the track about ten feet in
the weeds and brush. I then laid
her down and knelt down beside
her, lit a match. felt Of her pulse
and put my ear to her heart, to
see if she were dead. When I was
sure she was dead, left the body
and drove to my girls home ard
stayed there until about o'clock.
in the morning.
II never planned to kill her.

be sent against the Cleveland
Indians today, facing either George

Griffs are still trailing the Tribe

Bucky Harris is confident that the

away from the plate today.
AS Detroit and New York idled
yesterday, the Griffs cut off half
a game from their lead. Today
Washington is a game and a half
behind first place and thu atlIletes
