Adams were disclosed to be human

proof than that of the micro

Il sworn to Adams alibi con-
feSSed that he had come to their
quarters at 4 o'clock on the morn
ing after the murder and induced
them to promise they would say,
in case of inquiry, he had been
with them all night.
But Adams, even after they
confessed, remained adamant. He
knew nothing about murder, he
said. And then that afternoon
and that evening they talked to
him, and at $50 that evening he
looked up with a lost, white face,
and said
"All right. all right, I did it"
Lillian, driving the car, came
for him at o'clock on the eve

usually did.
Sullenly he eyed her, he remem-
bered, for he was jealous and

been at this time and that time.

from the pocket of the car a dark
object, he said, and when she

Adams picked her up and
pushed her limp body into the car.

But the &C men" were not quite

him to write a little for them;
they suspected that in handwrit-

killing of Lillian Adams.
