MAYER C0NFE:SSES KILLING BASSETT::
 BODY UNBOUND
LIE DETECTOR INJECTIONS USED TO OBTAIN CON-
 FESSION, STATED

SEATTLE, Nov, 23, P-Sher- IiffS and deputies began digging in the Bothel cemetery, 15 miles east of here, in search of the body of James Eugene Bassett, who has been missing since Sep tember 3, 1928, after Prosecutor Colvin announced he had ob- tained confession from Decasto Earl Mayer, in jail charged with being a habitual criminal that he had slain the missing man.
 Colvin said he obtained the confession through the use of Lie detector" injections or Truth serum
 Henry Clay Agnew, attorney for Mayer, obtained a temporary court order restraining the pros ecut0r from further use of these methods in obtaining state- ments from the prisoner
 Mayer was arrested in Califor- nia after there was found in his possession Bassett'S automobile and watch a few days after Bas- sett's disappearance. He was tried and convicted of larceny of the automobile.
 At first they dug in the ceme- tery where a slab belonging to the Ericsen plot had been dis turbed. Hours of diggingfailed to reveal any trace of the body.
 Lets not kid each other" Col win claimed Mayer to have said, You know everybody else knows I killed Bassett."

KILLER SHOWS YELLOW

Visions of the "hot seat" brought out the yellow streak in Chcagos notorious murderer known Wee Willie Doody, the "baby face kiler' when the juIys verdict of guilty pronounced a few days ago.
 DoOdy tried for the murder Of Charles Levy, chief of police of Berwyn, Ill.,, and had shown consider able braVado before and during his trial.
 But when the verdict read and the judge sen his nerve and became an abect cnging creature whom police officers had to hold up he led from the court room.

When he saw the white,
drawn face of his first born,
lying so lifelessly while the
battle between life and
death was waged, he softened
toward her. 1t needed but
one look at AIS face to tell
him that he loved this tiny
daughter of his with a love
that comes but once into a
man s life; and Big Tim was
not the sort Of man to hold
the quality Of love, when it
is proved, against one.
The heartiness which he
put into the handclasp be-
tween Al and himself told
the younger man more plain
ly than words that all rancor
between them was forgotten
that if Ruth got well, they
would all be happy together.

Cling and intense pain she
came back to the anxious
watchers at her bedside,
smiling her own little roguish
smile, holding the big,
bronzed hand of AL in her
weak clasp.
AIS first move, when
Ruth was strong enough to
talk over things, was to
have the charge against
Jimmy dismissed. He had
suffered enough - through
his own remorse--through
the blow which had been
dealt his pride-and the
pride of the entire Adams
family. For an Adams to be
arrested was disgraceful
enough. And Jimmy re-
turned to the mainland
shortly thereafter.
AL and Big Tim were so
happy at seeing her funny
little smile lighting up the
small face, from which the
dark violet eyes =. looked so
affectionately at them as the
two big men bent over her
bed, or spent hours by her
bedside reading to her, that

Alone with Christine in

That's the formula, "
said Christine.
Christine posted the letter
and when Jimmy came hur-
rying to the hotel Mabel re-
fused to see him. It was
Christine who did the ex-
planning. She had told
Mabel just what she was
going to say and Mabel
agreed that anything would
do.
SO Christine put it boldly,
"Mr. Blake" she said,
"Mabel can't bear the
thought of marrying a poor
man."
"But she said she didn't
care for money"
"Ah, that was when she
thought Won were the rich

Carlton Blake - but when

Christine WINGED at the hurt
look in his eyes, but he tried
to smile. Maybe you're

she wasn't very happy in
that flfvver.
Christine held out her
hand. "Good-by.'' she said.
II hope it won't hurt too
much. "
Jimmy held her hand a
minute. Maybe, if I run
around tomorrow morning,
you'll take a little ride with
me, :" he said, hopefully.
"Of course I will. / really

honey, said Christine.

The next morning, when

mained discreetly in the
parlor. Christine got into the

charms on him
Rather a useless sugges-
ton to Mabel. Christine
herself thought so an hour
after she made it, when she
saw Blake and her friend
sauntering down to the
beach together.
The young man was so en-
tranced with the charm and
beauty of his new found
acquaintance that he forgot
all about the car. An idea
had entered his mind that it
would be a grand test of
himself as a man if a girl
like Mabel could learn to
like him as plain Jimmy
Blake.
And Mabel seemed to be
doing that very thing.
Painstakingl1 Mr.. Blake

81 think poor people are g
lot happier than rich ones, "
; he said more than once.
"Oh, so do l." she assented,
"I've never wanted to be
rich. -
And the ripe lips that ut
tered this egregious lie
looked so tempting that
Jimmy leaned over impet-
nously and kissed them.
That was on the fourth
day Of his whirlwind WOO
ing; on the sixth he sum-
moncd all his courage and
offered his unworthy self to
the tender mercies of Mabel.
He was really surprised
when she accepted him; and
when his arms were around
her in an ectastic embrace
he could not help consider
ing himself the luckiest man
in the world.
Christine was greatly
amused. $50 you've got

you sure you love hint"

TOdGy's True
Story

~ VERYBODY admitted
~ Mabel's charm; you
simply couldn't get
away from it, even if she had
wanted you to-which she
didn't. The Fates had be-
slowed it on her as an added
gift to the blonde hair and
blue eyes and the COM
plexion that scorned rouge.
But, somehow, they'd for
gotten to endoW her with
qualities to adorn her physi-
cal beauty. If Mabel could
have. been uhselfish and
sympathetic she would have
approached the angelic. But
her trim figure and lovely
face carried her a long way
on the path Of the conquer
ing heroine, and she knew
how to make the most Of
every smile and every turn
Of her deep, blue eyes.
THAT was how Jimmy
Blake came to worship at
haT shrine: She seemed so
different from the rest Of
the girls he had known.
Jimmy was a bit simple, as
far as girls were concerned.
When he fell head over
heels in love with Mabel he
suffered prolonged agony,
because he didn't dare offer
Ills unworthy heart to her.
She knew all about him;
,iilst how many millions his
father' was rated at; all
about the Blake country
place and the villa at Men
tone how many cars the
oder Blake maintained and
how many servants.
And then, their meeting
had been under such ro-
mantle circumstances. Mabel
was on her annual two
weeks vacation at a small
summer hotel on the New
England coast when Jimmy
drifted in, after giving up
a stalled motor in despair.
Mabel had seen his picture
in New York paper, so she
knew him right away.
The moment he saw her
he foil; this was tho girl
for him Of all girls. He
called up the garage where
his car was being repaired
ad told them to take their
time.
Mabel had come on her
vacation with a girl chum,
with whom she shared a
modest two-room suite in
The Bronx. This girl chum,
who went by the odd name
OF Christine Fullish, had been
an enigma to Mabel ever
since they had pooled their
common fortunes six months
before. Mabel pointed out
the newcomer, carefully men,
Aoning the fact that he was
heir to a great many mil
lions.
christine was not in
terested. "He looks like a
nice boy" she sad, "if you

never took time to figure
why. But / would like to
know you better. "
Eve had struck the right
note with Ruth. IL any one
needed her, she was at their
service, always.
"All right, old dear" "

girl in the world. He pro-
posed to take her to the
parental home and let the
family see just what treasure
he had won.
He broke the news to
Mabel modestly. "See here,
darling, how'd you like to
take a little trip with me
just for the day?"
I'D love it, DEAR said
Mabel.
"That s fine, said Jimmy.
"I've got a car at a garage.
1t broke down as | told you.
I'll get it and bring it over. "
When he appeared with a
small touring car painted
dull black and unpretentious
Mabel got her first shock;
she had expected one of
those dashing sports road
sters. She seated herself by
Jimmy's side and tried to
wave a careless hand to
Christine as they chugged
out Of the hotel grounds.
I'm so glad" Jimmy
said, don't mind riding in
this little bus I've had it a
long time and I've gotten
sort OF attached to it.
They rolled along beauti-
full roads and after riding
about 10 miles came to a
small white house contain
ing not more than five rooms
that stood just inside a stone
wall;

] been thinking hard. Could
it be she had made a mis-

was another Jimmy Blake:
Of course it was a common
enough name; and then all
his talk about being poor.
A shudder ran through her
as he knocked. on the door
of the little house. 1t was
speedily opened and a large
woman with a wrinkled,
kindly face threw her arms
around Jimmy. "My dear
boy" she cried, $50 you re.

the speed laws in his anxiety
