KILLED WIFE. At.
HER REQUEST,
He SAYS
Frank Liska Writes Story of
Death-Faces Staying /,
Charge

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March "a
A formal charge of murder will
probably be placed today against
Frank Liska, who last night wrote
with his own hand story describ-
ing how his wife, Catherine Liska,
whose charred body was found in
q flaming chicken coop in the
Liskas' backyard Saturday, met
her death.
Liska, according to the statement
made by detectives today, declared
that he strangled his wife at her
own request, after a bitter quarrel
at the family home Friday. A
filmy silk kimona was used u
strangle her, the husband related,
after his wife had failed in an at
tempt to choke herself to death.
Quarreled Over Divorce.
Liska said he and his wife qua.
relied Friday over a contemplated
divorce action by his wife. She
ran from the house to the chicken
coop. He followed. There he found
his wife with the kimona tightly
wrapped about her neck.
Draw it tighter. Kill me-
Liska declares that his wife begged.
At first he refused. Then yield
ing to the woman's opportunities,
he pulled tightly on the filmy gar
ment. His wife struggled a mo.
ment. Then all was still and he
went away.
That night, the confession relates,
Liska fired the chicken coop, then
went to bed. Later he was awaken.
ed by neighbors, who called his at
tention to the fire. Firemen found
the charred body in the building.
Story Disbelieved.
Prosecuting Attorney Edward G.
Stanton today said that he was
not entirely satisfied with Liska's
statement. He discredited the part
in which the husband claimed that
his wife first attempted suicide.
Liska was being further grilled
today In an attempt to secure a
more complete statement before the
formal charge is made.

FROM STAND
Attorneys to Fight Against In
PRODUCTION Of Matricide
Confession

By ELLIS H. MARTIN,
international News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.,
March "a. Dorothy Ellingson
will not take the stand in her own
behalf.
The story of the Staying of her
mother will not come from the
lips of the sixteen-year-old matri-
eide, it was learned today.
Her counsel has decided to keep
her from the stand and will battle
against the introduction of her
confession by the State.
No Witnesses to Shooting
The defense will endeavor to
force the State to present a cir
cumstantial case. There were no
witnesses to the shooting of Annie
Ellingson. mother Of the girl. The
State will reconstruct, through
testimony as far as possible. the
shooting in the little Fourth avenue
cottage, the flight of the girl, her
betrayal by one of her male friends,
her arrest, and then endeavor to
place in evidence against her the
confession Dorothy made to police
officers.
Six tentative jurors were in the
box when tho trial was resumed
today.
Girl Breaks Under Strain
Whether the titian-haired girl de-
PENDANT can stand up under long
court sessions remains to be seen.
Her complete collapse yesterday
after her first two hours in court
indicated that her long pose of
stoicism Is near an end. She was
pale and her lips tightly compressed
as she appeared at the hall of JUS
tice today.
Chills followed her COLLAPSE, and
her attorneys were genuinely con-
cerned over her condition while her
aged father expressed fear that she
would be unable to go through with
the trial.
If the youthful defendant is emo
tion-sweDt she shows no sign Of it.
She is utterly silent and almost mo-
tionless as she sits at the table be-
side her counsel. She moves only
when spoken to. When court adj |
journs she waits for her motherly |
Deputy Sheriff Kennedy, |
to touch her on the shoulder before |
arising. She betrays no interest in |
the court room procedure, has no |
eyes for the audience, and favors |
the jury with only an occa siOnal |
glance.
She has expressed a hope that a
Jury of old men may judge her. If |
the six now in the box are a cri-
terion, she may have her wish. One
woman now in the box is expected
to be removed by q defense per-
challenge. One young man
has been tentatively accepted. He
gave his age as twenty-seven. The
other four range in age from forty
20 sixty-five. A number of grey
haired men are among the taIesmen
vet to be examined.

Countess KaroIyi's Own Story

The general economic situation OF
Hungary can be called deplorable.
The cause of this bad situation is
not only that Hungary was dismem-
bered by the Versailles treaty. but
since that time she has not done any
thing to live up to the new situa-
ton.
TO any impartial observer II is
obvious that the leaders of Hungary
are leading the economics and poll
tics of their country precisely in the
direction likely to increase antag-
onism between Hungary and it's
neigbors, instead Of appeasing any
friction.
The mere fact that Hungary has
been reduced to a quarter OF her
former size. that economically she
is not self-supporting; that she has
no sea border, makes 1t inevitable
that the highly protective system
she is adopting is hampering her
national economic development.
There is only one possible way in
which Hungary can solve the ques-
ton Of her future-through aboh-
ton of the system of feudal estates;
through a broad plan Of land distri-
button, breaking up the large proper
ties, an dthrough abolition of the
traffic system which is strangling
industry and commerce.
The future of Hungary is closely
allied with that Of Europe. and her
problem must not be considered an
isolated one.
In an economically irtegrated
Europe, where national frontiers
would have no more meaning than
they have today between the coun-
ties and states OF the United States.
Hungary would find the path to a
happier future without having re-
course to wars OF revenge.

Text: "Thou art Simon-thou shalt
be called Peter."-John Lag.

Tine day a common, ordinary
I'M fisherman, by the name of
III Simon, was introduced to
Jesus. The moment Jesus looked
into this mans face He saw in him
something others had not seen.
Others saw him only as rough un-
lettered fisherman. Jesus saw in
him elements of strength and large
possibilities. Looking upon him in
tently, Jesus said: Thou art Simon
thou shalt be called Peter. which
is by Interpretation, a stone"
This new name had in ii a vision
Of what Jesus saw in Simon-a man
of character and strength. Jesus
always saw the best in every man
and all that 1t was possible for him
to be. In the uncouth, undisciplined
Simon He saw the firm and master
full Peter of the Apostolic days.
If we would help men to reach
their best, we must have an eye
for the best. that is in them. In
every life there is something good,
and possibilities for something bet
ter. 1t is only as we are able to
see this. that we can inspire people
and lift them up to higher things.
Giving Simon a new name meant
a great deal to him. He saw that
Jesus believed in him, and that
