ia wide divergence in the stories
of Emil Zupke, factory hand, and
Florence Mckinney, his 1s-year-oid
fiancee, appeared today as the time
approached for them to be arraigned
on charges of frst-degree murder in
connection with the death of Cora
May Raber.
Zupke said he plans to plead guilty.
His fiancee. on the other hand, will
plead not guilty. The self -confes
slayer of the girl who demanded that
he marry her to give her unborn child
name today for the first time made
| damaging admissions involving Miss
Mckinney. She countered with a de-
nial that she knew what Zupke was
doing when he choked Miss Raber to
death.
