Calmly describing his act as the
best job I ever did" Frank w.
Weeden. 81, an escaped insane
patient, today had confessed to the
murder of DR.. Ransom H. Sartwell.
superintendent of the state hospital
for mental diseases.
DR.. Sartwen was killed Friday
night when Weeden fired two
charges of birdshot through a
window of his home. Weeden, who
had been under treatment at the
Institution for thirty years prior to
his escape a year ago, was arrested
after a widespread search.
The slayer, a strange figure With
untrimmed beard and hair touching
his shoulders, told police he COM
mitted the crime, because he be-
Iieved it would improve conditions
at the hospital.
Describes Crime COOlly
A report of an investigating COM
mittee. published recently, criti-
cised DR.. Sartwell's administration
and stated that conditions at the
institution were not what they
should be.
Weeden said he returned from the
southwest three days before the
shooting and visited the institution
grounds to see which doctor he
could kill for the benefit of the in
mates.
81 got DR.. Sartwell He was
enough. II was the best job ever
did" he said.

murder with an air of cold indiifer-
ence. but he expressed regret when

mitted.
ut was a nice gun" he lamented.
Once while he was a patient at the
hospital, Weeden said, DR.. Sartwen
tried to kill him by hanging him
with towel, and that he killed the
doctor as retribution.
Sent to Asylum
His whole life had been ruined by
the fortunes which he had been
forced to endure while confined to
the institution. Weeden asserted,
and he had killed DR.. Sartwen to
correct the many evils.
Summarily arraigned in court,
Weeden pleaded not guilty, however,
and said he wanted q good trial.
Because ne already had confessed
and been adjudged criminally in
sane. he was committed to the hos
pital for criminal insane at the
state prison. Although the facts will
be submitted to a grand jury, this
merely will be formality, and
Weeden will be confined to the
prison for the rest of his life.

DRY AGENTS FACE
QUIZ OVER. RAID

There was some connection in
the cafe, McGili says, and suddenly
a roughly dressed man approached
him, seized him and attempted to
go through his pockets. McGill
says he thought he was being held
up, and resisted. Four other men
then approached, he says, and one
of them hit him with a blackjack,
and together the five assailants
dragged him out of the cafe.
AS they passed the check room,
one of the men was heard to say,
IF there's any more fight in him,
kill him."
All of these men, McGill declares,
we're unidentified, showed no badges
and made no announcements that
it was a prohibition raid until they
got McGill to the door.

search seemed to be without war
