WITH" Kolbfeisch was quoted by Pol
itz as saying. He indicated that the
empty shell was still in the gun, which
had been hidden beneath leaves in the
woods at some distance from the
Pysell home.
Tells Of Frequent Quarrels
The prisoner was said to have re-
lated searching his aunt's room and
getting some notes she held against
him. These notes were burned along
with the gloves he had used around
the house and at the time of the shoot
ing.
James Sickle, youth who lived in
the same house and who had been
taken from an orphanage by Miss
Pysell, testified to frequent quarrels
between Kolbfeisch and Miss Pysell.
"They were always over money!" he
said. He also stated that he saw Kolb-
fieisch strike her, knock her down,
drag her about by the hair and fire.
quently curse her.
Laughs At Testimony
Since both Sickle and Kolbfeisch
had been held in the County Jail fol-
lowing the shooting, the witness con-
tinued, Kolbfeisch tried to have him
change the testimony he gave the au-
thorities who qestioned him at an
other time.
Kolbfeisch sat calmly during the
hearing of the testimony, frequently
laughing to himself about portions of
his confession where he thought he
had baffled the investigating officials,
especially concerning the story Of how
he had obtained the gun with which he
had shot. his aunt.
Kolbfeisch commended at all times
that he had stolen the gun from car
parked near Deep Creek Lake during
a drunken party staged there by a
group of summer residents. But in
reality the gun was purchased from
a store in Morgantown, according to
Mr.. Fraley.
Courtroom Crowded
Approximately 400 persons crowded
into the courtroom on Tuesday for the
trial. Some of the curious spectators
began arriving here as early as seven
o'clock to be sure of seat at the trial,
and then refused to get bite to eat
at noon for fear they would be unable
to regain access to the room.
At the outset indications were that
the opening session would be confined
to the selection of jury. The full
bench of the fourth judicial circuit,
Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan, and
Associate Judges Frank G. Wagaman
and David A. Robb, arrived at ten
o'clock. Shortly before twelve the

B. AND o. WILL ACCEPT
NEW 2-CENT FARE RATE
Serves Notice Upon Roads II
Will Not Fight Order

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has served notice on other Eastern
railroads that it would play lone
hand in the quest for more passenger
business.
Asserting that the Baltimore and
Ohio intended to put the 2-cent-a-mile
passenger rate-as outlined by re-
cent order of the Interstate Commerce
COMMISSIONING effect not later than
June 2, a statement signed by Daniel
Willard said the company of which he
is president would not be a party to a
request by other railroads that the
order be suspended by the I. c. c.
Leader In Long Fight
Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
said Mr.. Willard had been leading a
fve-year fight to obtain lower passen-
ger rates as one of the best means of
augmenting the railroads income.
Mr.. Willard's stand was made
known after number of Eastern rail
roads announced that they would seek
a delay in effective date of the commits
sion's order. Scheduled to become
effective on June 2 the order cut the
basic coach rate from 3.6 to 2 cents
per mile and eliminated the Pullman
surcharge.
Expected To Aid
The new schedule of rates is ex-
pected to aid the Baltimore and Ohio
materially in the competition with
buses.

preparing tariffs, using the schedule
ordered by the commission as a basis
The new rate is expected to be ready

Made Full Statement

States Attorney Fraley said he had
planned to use the statement given
Politz as surprise evidence at the trial
but Kolbfeisch became worried over
his confession to a supposed" crimi-
nal and made a full statement of the
facts to his attorneys Monday even
ing.
Shot To Death In Home
Miss Pysell, sister of Kolbfeisch's
deceased mother, was shot to death as
she was engaged in washing dishes
in the kitchen of her home near Nc
Henry and about fifteen miles north of
Oakland. The charge was fired from a
shotgun through a window before
which Miss Pysell was standing. Kolb-
fleisch was taken into custody short
time later but denied any connection or
knowledge how the crime was COM
mitted. .....
States Attorney Fraley said the
confession showed that Kolbfeisch
had told no other person of the crime
except Politz. Mrs. Kolbf1eisch did not
learn of it until on Tuesday morning,
a few minutes before the prisoner was
brought into court to answer the in
dictment charging him with the muir
der.
Baltimore Detective Quoted
The prisoner was quoted by Detec-
tive Politz as saying he killed his aunt
because she twas always causing
trouble between the neighbors," "did
not like his wife," and twas dirty
housekeeper"; "that they were max
ing good money on the farm and at
the saw mill, but as long as he had to
divide it with his aunt he wasn't sat-
isfed." Politz asked Kolbf1eisch why
he had committed the crime as his
aunt was old and wouldn't have lived
many years longer. Kolbfeisch replied,
81 couldn't stand to live with her any
longer"
Politz also testified that the pris-
oner told him of obtaining six car
tridges at Corinth, West Va, and
practicing with five of them. "The
sixth shell was the one I killed Ella

a number Of ducks and geese
around here. They can stand the
cold alright, but they must eat. and
when their feeding grounds are frozen
they must fly South in search of open
water. Flocks headed in this direc-
ton are becoming larger with each
passing day, according to E. Lee LIE
Compte, Maryland State game ward
en-. Reports sent into the Conserva-
tion Department, he said, indicate
that particularly large number of
these birds are finding their way over
TO the Eastern Shore grounds.
The largest concentration seems to
be at Holland Straights, Barren Island
Bar and at the head of the Honga
River, all good ducking areas. The
Chincoteague Bay section should be
looking up soon also, although early
reports from over there were anything
but encouraging.
II you've ever been over that
way, you know that much Of
that section was made to order
for ducks That's why, in pre-
vious years, many redheads and
canvasbacks Wintered there.
Federal ban on shooting them has
placed q serious crimp in local ducking,
but still blackheads, whiff1ers, mallards
and geese are fairly plentiful at pres
ent, especially in the upper bay
country. II anything, blackheads seem
TO be more abundant than they have
been for years, but In all probability
they will be moving out shortly.

FIGURES from Maine, where the
duck and geese season has closed,
give some indication Of the number
Of water fowlers who went out this
year with Federal regulations against
live decoys, batting, redheads, can
vasbacks. brant and large, multi-shot
guns hanging over them. Last year
over 5000 duck stamps were sold. This
year only 1882 crossed the counter.
Some Of the waterfowl which escape

result Of the seasonal shooting. They
die Of lead poisoning. In their feeding
they sometimes pick up shot which
has been deposited in layers on the
