ASHEVILLE, N. C., July 16.- Major Samuel H. McLeary, missing army officer, was killed by Morti- mer H. King of near Canton, and companion whose identity is still unrevealed, ca the afternoon of July 2, according to a sworn confession made at Canton this afternoon by King to federal and local authorities. A search is now being conducted for the body of the major, which is said to be hid- den in the brush about 10 miles from Cheraw, s. c.
 Robbery Is Motive
 The motive for the killing, ac- cording to Kings confession, was robbery. After the major had taken King and his companion into his car and offered to give them lift up the road, they compelled him to stop, at the point of pis- tol, forced him to get out of the car, shot him to death and carried his body into the brush at the road side.
 Stripping the body of valuables, they returned to the car and drove it to Asheville, thence toward Canton, where King lives, according to the confession.
 After an unsuccessful attempt to cross GrabtFee mountain, near Canton, they returned to the tkirbesY section and ditched the car unintenti0nally then unable to extrieate 1t they hid Me- Leary's belongings, stripped off the license tags from the car and fled, King going to his home near Canton.
 Breaks Down
 The confession was obtained only after King had been once arrested and questioned and released. This after noon, however, he was again taken into custody and a search was made of his house. At this time a shirt was found resembling those found in the belong ings of Major McLeary, and checking up showed that the Majors label and laundry mark coincided.
 Confronted with this evidence, King broke down and said: Well, men, I'll tell the truth. That's his shirt. We did it.
 The confession was made in the pre- sence of four men, Charles H. Powers of the United States department of jus tice; Chief of Police H. A. Sumner of Canton; Major s. W. Williams of Asheville and Hubert Holloway of the Asheville Citizen.
 King is a deserter from both. the United States army and the marine corps, according to his own confession.

 Running Mate

Runing Mate
 WASHINGTON, July 15.-Senator Wheeler of Montana, who waged such vigorous battle against the republican administration during the last Congress, has stirred up political waters by an- nouncing that Ire will not support his party's candidate, John w. Davis.
 Wheeler said he probably would sup port the candidacy of Senator LaFol- lette openly and campaign for him, though he was not finally decided. The Montana senator has been mentioned prominently as a running mate for La Toilette, and his announcement is sig nificant in view of the meeting of pro- gressive forces here Friday to name a vice presidential candidate.
 He has said already that he would accept the nomination as running mate to LaFollette if the post were offered him.
 Il couldn't consistently get out and support Mir. John W. Davis" Wheeler said.
 "I don't see any difference between the candidates of Calvin Coolidge and Mir. Davis. They both represent the same ideHls and the same people,
 Wheeler explained that his announce ment does not effect his status as a democrat. He is still member of the party, he declared, and will support if when progressive, but when it's nomi- nee is q man who is attorney for J. Pierpont Morgan and the Wall street interests will not support him."
 T am going to campaign in Montana for Senator Walsh and the democratic state ticket he said. T will support any other progressive democrat or any progressive of another party. If re- qUested will campaign for Senators Borah, Norris and Brookhart."
