PERPE TRAITOR OF DOUBLE
 MURDER WANTED BODIES '
 THROWN IN DEEP WATER'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21. (R-B. J. McKinnel, who is being held as a material witness in connection with the gruesome murder uncov- cred by the finding of two bodies, tentatively identified as being the bodies of Hedvig Samuelson and Mrs Leroi, yesterday afternoon said that his sister called him from his classes in a local university at 2 a. m., Monday, and asked him to come and get her trunks.
 McKinnel admitted that she con- fessed to the murders and told him that she wanted them thrown into deep water" in the ocean.
 With his sister, Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, McKinnel went to the bag gage office and said that he became suspicious when he saw insects swarming about the trunks.
 Agent Anderson was already sus- picious and demanded that the trunks be opened Mrs. Judd plead ed that she didn't have the keys for the trunks.
 As Mrs. Judd and McKinnel drove away the agent ran to the platform and jotted down the license num- Der.
 The police called in McKinnel and he said that Mrs. Judd was "extremely nervous in an automo- mile," and had asked him for some money. McKinnel gave her five dollars and she left the car and dis appeared in the street crowd. T knew something wrong was going on up town when she told me she killed the women" the brother said.
 A Juneau dispatch says that let ters to the former associates of Hedvig Samuelson and Mrs. Leroi |said that Dr. Judd had taken keen interest in Miss Samuelson's illness. Because she became suddenly i'll with tuberculosis while teaching school at Juneau she left there for treatment in September last year, Mrs. Leroi volunteering to accom- pany her. Late letters said that Miss SamuelSon was recovering as the result of Dr. Judd'S care. She taught the third and fourth grades in Juneau.

Bismarck Farmers Encouraged by
Generous Reproduction Of Livestock

The demand, of course, isn't for
more legs but the bovine mother
evidently was doing the best she
could.
Just by way of example. Lawyer
said, Lawrence Madland, q farm.
er living near Menoken, had q
flock of IA ewes that produced
208 lambs. Everyone Of the ewes
LANDED, three Of them having
triplets, IS having twins, and So
Of them singles. Out Of the flock
only eight lambs died.
Hog increases have been equal
" gratifying. Lawyer said. John
Sabot, q farmer south Of Bis
marck who raises Duroc hogs, has
reported that his breed sows have
produced an average Of SAT pigs
per SOW. A group Of II sows pro-
duced filters totaling IA pigs.
In addition to the general fav-
orable livestock increases, Lawyer
said that the animal mortality
rate had been unusually low this
year. This can be attributed. In
part, he believes to the mild
winter and spring which has left
the animals In better physical
condition than usual. Another
factor which has reduced the
death rate, Lawyer stated. was the
growing tendency on the part Of
Burleigh county farmers to take
better care Of livestock immedi-
ately before and after birth.
