Had Threatened to Disin.
herit Him-Father Says He
Will Spend All He Has to
Clear Sons Name

Streator, ILL.,, Dec. 12.-4R)-The

killing his mother after she had re.
preached his waywardness and had
threatened to .isinherit him will be
unfolded in the La Sale county cir
cult court whea Harry Hill, 22, goes
to trial Dec. 27 on q charge Of MUIR
der. The trial will be held at Otta-
wa, nearby county seat.
The body Of Mrs. Eliza Hill,
mother Of the boy and the divorced
wife Of DR.. H. c. Hill Of Streator,
was found on Aug. 20 in q crude
grave in the cellar. of the pleasant
home which she and her SON occu-
pied here.

against young Hill, end the state
contends that he killed his mother
when, in dismay at his actions, she
threatened to cut hir. off in her
will. The testament, subsequently
found, left all Of q $4,000 estate to
the son, to be held in trust for him
until he is Is.
Hill has steadfastly denied any
knowledge of the crime, and he will
60 to trial with the support Of his
father, who says he will spend all

moved the youth from . train at the

Ottawa by automobile.
Hill said he read OF tie finding
Of the body and, becoming fright
;ened when he sAw he was suspected,
decided to 4le1. He was taken at
night to the cellar grave and was
questioned amid flickering lights in
the stone-lined makeshift vault, but
his story could not be shaken.
The La Sale count. grand jury
indicted Hill for murde: on Oct. Is

THINKS ALUMNI SHOULD
KEEP OUT OF DISPUTE

Belief tina: alumni Of the Univer-
sity Of North Dakota should keep
out Of the dispute 1T that institution
over the attempted removal by
President Thomas F. Kane Of Paul
J. DAVIS as athletic director was ex-
pressed here today by r. E. Wenzel.
Wenxel, who was resident Of the
university alumni association from
1920 to 1924, entered the controversy
last week when, in an open letter to
the state board Of administration, he
requested that the charges made
against Davis by the president be
made clear.
Publication Of letters which
passed between Kane and Davis met
this request, Wenzel said, and led
him to. the conclusion that univer-
sity almuni should leave the decision
to the board Of administration and
not enter into it except as they
might give testimony to help the
board Ia arriving at . conclusion.
