barber wearing Richards suit--the

The barber told him he bought it

Haarmann said he told Grams all
about the first murder, that Grams

On this high note of tragedy on
which court adjourned late yester-
day, it reconvened today in the
trial Of the Ina minister and the
woman he loved, Elsie Sweetin, for
the murder of MILFORD Sweetin,
Elsie's husband.
A typewriter statement, with the
shaking signature of Hight affixed,
was In dispute. To committee of
three preachers, who had come at
the behest of the Methodist Con.

signed his life away. And it was
that confession, briefly outlining
the crime and its method of COM
mission, which his attorney, Nelson
Layman now is fighting desperately
to keep from admission.
Rules Future of Case.
Today, the court will give it's de-
cision and on that decision the
entire future progress Of the strange
case was resting.
For 1t is freely reported here that
Ii the confession, given added dig

the confessors-brothers of the

ruled to be proper evidence, Hight
will change his plea, throw himself
on the mercy of the court and
then mount the witness stand to
become accuser of the woman in AN
effort to place equal guilt on her.
The battle over the admission of
the confession yesterday climaxed
a day at which the prosecution
hammered away relentlessly at the
bulwarks Of the defense through
medical testimony which estab.
