 The English primatc, the paper said, recognized the delicate re- Uginus situation in the Holy Land, and when he received intimations his projected trip there was regard d with some misgivings by the Holy See he abandoned ii. He had plan ned the visit as a part ot cruise he is making aboard J. r, Morgan's yacht while he reCuperates rom severe winter illness.
 The paper said 1t understood the Vatican received representations from the Latin patriarch of Jerusa- lem. Monsignor Barlisslna, that he was much disturbed at the prospect of such visit from the head of the Church Of England for the first time since the reformation. His apprehension, it was said, was bas- ed primarily on the existing close relations between the Anglican communion and various eastern orthodox churches.
 The paper continued that the Ro man objections We're not altoseth- CT unexpected since nothing in Jeru- salem is the object of more jealous vigilance than the maintenance Of the status quo among the various religious bodies claiming rights is the holy city.

 Then, the confession went on, he shot her while she dozed in the seat beside him. He said he drove 6 short distance, stopped the car and dragged the body to the roadside. He took q can ot gasoline from the car, poured it's contents over the clothing and set fire to it
 The body was discovered by John Doyle, driver of baker wagon. Identification was accomplished through tracing the shoes back to the manufacturer in st. Louis, Mo, thence to GreenvilIe, Pa. where de- tectives learned that Mrs. Mowry had lived before she left to marry a Doctor Campbell"
