GIRL CONF ESSES
Statement to- Police Clears
Mystery of Body Found
in Thicket.

By United Press
ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Aug. 13.-"L
saw him choke her, but I didn't
know he was killing her."
Thus did Florence Mckinney ad-
nit her knowledge of the crime Of
her fance, Emil Zupke, who con-
fessed he murdered Cora Raber, at
Cora's request. so that he would be
free to marry Florence.
Miss Raber was to become a
mother.
Miss Mckinney is being held at the
Berrien County Jail here, although
no definite charges have been made
against her. She is the daughter Of
a farmer near here.
Visit Scene
Sheriff George c. Bridgeman took
zupke and Miss Mckinney today
over the road leading to the lonely
thicket twelve miles south of here
where the Raber girls partially de-
composed body was found Sunday.
''The murder was last Wednesday
night" Miss Mckinney said in her
statement. Emil drove to my house
in a roadster; Cora was in the car.
He said he had to take her to Galben
and wanted me to go along.
Il drove the car. Cora sat on the
other side and Emil was in the
middle. When we'd gone about three
miles-I saw Emil raise his hand and
place it over Cora's throat.
He was numbering her, but 1 did
not know it If I had 1 would have
tried to stop him. Cora didn't cry
out. I didn't see her make any re-
sistance."
In broken tones, Emil Zupke's
fiance told how they stopped near
the thicket
Il helped him lift her out. I said,
Emil, please get a doctor. think
she's still alive
No, Coras gone, alright he
answered"
Body in Thicket
Zupke carried the murdered girl
into the thicket alone and left her
there, Miss Mckinney said,
And Zupke told Sheriff Bridgeman
that Florence's story was correct.
At first he had told a slightly differ
ent tale.
Zupke today still insisted that Cora
had asked him to put her "out Of
the way"
Zupke and Florence were to have
been married Sunday-the day the
! body was found. 1t was also Zupke's
twentyfourth birthday.
But after that murder I knew
could never marry Florence" the
youth said.
