Arriving in Decatur Wednesday af-
ternoon. July g, Billmire tried to get
a Job on a railroad. He did not re-
member what railroad it was He

Then, he said. he started to walk
on a country road. A motorists
picked him up and took him to Jack
sonville, III.
At the edge of Jacksonville. Bill
mire said he bought a bottle of pop at
a wayside refreshment stand and
talked with the proprietor. The pro-
prietor told Billmire he knew a good
place to start another stand. 1t was
four and a half mile sout of Jack
sonville on the Ocean to Ocean High
way.
Il wanted TO make a living so I
put up a pop stand and started in
business.
Every day I walked to Jackson
vile for one meal. I SLEPT in the
refreshment stand
BilImire told Mrs. Billnljre that
about a week before his memory was
restored little girl went past in an
automobile. Sight Of the girl stirred

automobile with the girl went past
several times in the ensuing week
Bit by bit the past came back. and
finally the whole panorama of Bill
mire's past life was rebuilt Last
Monday, realizing that his family
would be worried, Billmire said he
went to a 10-cent store in Jackson
vile, bought paper and envelopes
and wrote the letter to Mrs. Bill
mire.
Mrs. Billmire found him at the pop
stand. He. almost collapsed when
he saw her, the wife said.

Schapp said Il would not have
hesitated to call her darling"
The letter in question was ad-
dressed to Darling Theresa" and
was signed Sam" Police withheld
Its contents.
Schapp came here from New York
several days ago with his wife and
spent most of Monday and Tuesday
with Mrs. Mors, he said.
I'VE talked most of the time about
Mrs. Mors breaking off'with Mccoy" ."
Schapp said Finally she agreed to
break with him. but expressed fear
Mccoy would kin her"
Schapp's brief statement was con-
sidered the most important develop
mept in the case. 1t supplied a mo-
tive for the murder, Investigators
said, and confirmed their belief that
Mccoy shot her because of jealousy.

weight champion Of the world, Nc
Coy's defense will be insanity. says
r. D. Knickerbocker. his attorney.
Today in his cell, Mccoy, known as
one of the gamest fighters who ever
entered the ring, who was nine times
married and as many times divorced,
and whose 81 years of life have been
filled with adventure. was a broken
man and only able to mutter again
and again. Il didn't kill her.

1t was learned yesterday that A
D. Griffin, patrolman, took Nc.
Coy home, after he had appeared at
the Hollywood police station at a.
M, Wednesday and in an excited
voice asked for Officer Puisseger.
When he was informed he was not
working that night. Mccoy muttered
lucky for him" and stumbled out of
the station without explaining his re-
mark beyond advising his informant
to read the papers tomorrow.
Was Drunk
HE appeared to be drunk. Grit
fin said. And realizing he was in
no condition to drive his car, 1
piled him in the rear seat and took
the wheel myself.
"On arriving at the Nottingham
Apartments where Mccoy was liv-
ing with Mrs. Mors, I took him up
stairs and laid him down on the
bed.
Mccoy has now told police four
different stories of how his intended
wife met death.
His final story was that he and
Mrs. Mors. despondent because of
various troubles, had entered into a
suicide pact; that she had first shot
herself and that he did not remen-
Der what happened afterward, as his
mind became a blank.

A resolution was introduced before the Grand lgloo of Pioneers at Fair banks today advancing the years of eligibility for membership in the or der from 1900 to 1905. The proposition is heartily endorsed by Igloos in the Coast towns, but fought by members of Interior and Northern Igloos, who believe that the membership limit of 1900 should be retained, even if the order dies out. On the contrary, the coast members assert that there are many persons in the Territory who ara eligible to join the order, and that a man can come to the Territory at al most any time and be a pioneer if he remains here long enough, owing to the scanty population.

Seward has a school paper of which the community should be proud, but the youngsters complain of a lack of interest in their work by a large num- Der of citizens. Unless we encourage the youngsters we can expect no ben encial results from our schools, other than giving them rudimentary edu- cation. The final polish must be ap- piled by contact with the business and social world Seward has some splendid young men and women, and their future is not only in their hands, but in ours The difference between success and failure starts at the age of adolescence.
