"At that time one had already
been started on the Colorado
River. Since then other yard
sticks have been undertaken,
one in the Tennessee Valley,
one here ON the Colorado River,
and the fourth, the st. Law
renee, Is going to be started"
Mr.. Roosevelt gave courage tc
those who enviSion the north
west country as the beginning Of
q vast new empire, declaring:
ain this northwestern section
Of our land we still have the
opening Of opportunity for
vastly increased population.
"There are many sections Of
the country where conditions
are crowded. There are many

To CONFESSED
SLAYER
Girls Faith Unshaken in Face
of Mans Admission He
Planned Staying

WHKES-BARRE, Pa, Aug. 4
Q.N.SJ.-Pretty Margaret Grain,
%, stood by her "Bobbie" today de-
spite his alleged confession that
he is a murderer.
She rallied to the defense of
Robert Edwards, 21-year-old min
ing engineer, refusing to believe
even the admission Of the youth
himself, that his Staying Of Freda
McKechnie, 26, an expectant
mother, was a premeditated crime
by which he hoped to solve his
own eternal triangle" She cried:
81 would believe Bobbie in
nOcent in the face of any evil
dence."
Miss Grain wept as the prose-
cutor's statement, detailing with
painful accuracy how Edwards
admitted bludgeoning Freda with
a blackjack as she swan in Aar-
vey'S Lake, was read to Alderman
Frank Brown.
On Verge Of Collapse
She was on the verge of COL
lapse when the Alderman held
Edwards for court after a brief
formality, denying him freedom
on bail.
A few hours before police had
at last relented and permitted
the young music teacher from
East Aurora, N. Y, to see her
"Bobbie," the man who confessed
his love for her made him a
slayer.
They embraced in a dingy cell
at the Luzerne county prison
where he was taken from the
Wyoming Barracks of the State
police. There Edwards told his
sweetheart the truth.
He admitted to her he was the
slayer of Freda and that she was
soon to have a baby,
But the bonds of the love that
began several years ago when
they were both students at the
State Teachers College at Mans
field, Pa, held Miss Grain to her
"Bobbie."
At Edwards arraignment last
night authorities read his latest
statement of the Staying.
Admits Premeditation
In it they quoted Edwards as
discarding previous attempts to
convince them Miss McKechnie's
death was the result of a sudden
youthful frenzy. The statement,
as given to Alderman Brown,
read in part:
"On Wednesday night Ed
wards, the defendant, gave q
signed statement in which he
admitted that he struck the
victim, Freda McKechnie, with
a blackjack and then dragged
her body into deeper water.
To-day, the defendant made an
additional statement I'm which
he admits that he planned to
kill Freda McKechnie in order
that he could marry the other
girl"
The last of Edwards many
statements was made as Freda
was being buried and few hours
before he was permitted to see
Miss Grain, who made q mad au-
tomotlle dash here from the home
of her brother in Rochester, N. Y,
to be at his side.
