CONFESSED SLAYER
 BREACHES SERMON
Marshall Gives Prison Guards
 His Advice

Philadelphia. Jan. 27 Hp = Tn his cell In city hall today, David L. Marshall, confessed slayer of Anna Dietrich awaiting a hearing preached q sermon to two young detectives guarding him.
 While his guards listened. Mar shall warned them tc keep away from women"
 He spoke in quiet, conversational tones undisturhed by the catcGlls and hoots that came 10 his ears as other prisoners in the sixth floor cell room tried to attract his at tention.
 He urged his guards not 10 worry about the possibility of his taking his own life. The detectives had re- moved his garters, shoe faces, neck. tio and belt before he lay down to sleep. Before retiring Marshall re- moved an upper set of false teeth.
 Do you sec these? ." he asked '!h'l llHlllS 'OudS' tOulu lluNS killed myself at any time since my imprisonment by breaking these up and swallowing them. But ] won't do that. I would not try to kill my self now.
 Has my wife been here to see me?" Marshall asked. When told no one had called for him his head dropped and the haggard lines on his face decpcned. But when he spoke it was in the same Conversa- tional tones.
 "I suppose that is the way II Is 10 be-" he commented. Well, I'm comfortable"
 There was pause. Marshall muttered something about his Tit tle daughter" It was mention of his 12-year old child that brought inc only tears 10 the prisoners eyes yesterday when he confessed 10 the murier.
 Then Marshall stepped closer 10 his cell room door He spoke to his guards in low. earnest tones.
 Let mo tell you both some thing,' he said. "You are both young men. You have your lives before you. Mine all lies behind me. I am not guessing. I know what I tell you is right.
 Keep away from women. Es- pecially If you are married. Don't run around. Stick 10 your wives. It's your only chance. 1f you start running around the habit will get hold on you and the first thing you know, you're caught"
 He paused briefly.
 That's what happened 10 me-" he went OH. q started to go around. l slipped and the first thing l knew 1t had q hold on me and I couldn't break loose. There was always the threat Of disgrace. Well, it came, anyhow
 This woman and l had quar- reled and before I realized what was doing ] grabbed her throat and hooked her. She was on the floor when l went out for q little walk, came back in fifteen minutes and tried to revive her but I saw that she was dead.
 Then the picture of disgrace arose before me. I saw my wife and child ruined, my profession disgraced and everything worth while gone from me. The alterna- tive was 10 hide the body dis pose of it That's what l tried ts do. You know l failed"
 As Marshall neared the end of his talk, prisoner in nearby cell shouted; Hey. Marshall, why did you cut off her legs" One of the detectives offered to quiet the prisoner, but Marshall shook his head.
 Don't mind him" said Mar shall. He doesn't bother me at all"
