Chicago Half Wit Confesses To Brutal Murder Wednesday.

Richard Schultz, 28 years of age, a half wit who had performed odd jobs for residents in the fashionable north side apartment houses of Chicago, became angered Wednesday because Mrs. Elizabeth Healy, wife of a wealthy druggist, would not give him employment cleaning snow from the sidewalks, and he cut her throat from ear to ear, causing her death. He later confessed the crime.
