Ninety Per Cent Improved.

The Lee Highway, from coast to

another reason why this particular
Ioeation should have been chosen for

spproximate meeting place of the
lincoln Highway and the Lee High
way, of the northern and southern
systems of national roads"

Marion, H., Sept. 29,-seated by the side of his bride of seven days, Robert Tate, coal miner, today con- fessed to Sheriff Galligan and other prosecuting officials that he had ad- ministered the first dose of poison to Jody Harrington, whose widow he married 20 days after his death. His confession came after long grilling during which his wife plead ed with him to confess his part of the plot which they had jointly de- cided so that they could eventually be married.
 In his confession, Tate said he had first opposed Herrington's request that he come to his home to board, because the couple were too relig- ious for him. However, he yielded later. His infatuation for Mrs Her. rington. he said in his confession, came gradually, but it was not until April, 1924, that he became familiar with her. He had been injured in mine, he said, and after his return from the hospital he and Mrs. Her rington began to love one another.
 The poison plot, he said, was first mentioned during a secret meeting in COW pasture, two miles from the Harrington home. after Mrs. Her rington had repulsed his suggestion 10 kill her husband with d gun. They decided, he said. that he get the poison, and that she administer
