PRISONER TELLS AUTHORITIES HOW HE KILLED WIFE Story of All-Night Trip ir> Auto With Body Is Related. By I nitrd Press CHARLESTON, 111.. Aug. 22 A story of how he drove through the long stretch of the night with the dead body of his wife in the back seat of his automobile, in an effort to find nerve enough to kill himself, was told the coroner’s jury by Bruce Weiman. whq is held on a charge of murder. Weiman yesterday surrendered to the sheriff and admitted he murdered his wife and carried her body throughout the night In the back sent of his automobile. The body was round covered with a robe In the rear of the car. TelLs of Other Man He told the coroner's jury, which held him for murder, without bond.' that he caught his wife with another man In a Decatur hotel. He got her to accompany him tc. Charleston and shot her as she sat beside him. He said he had planned to kill himself immediately after shooting his wife, but lost his nerve when he saw his wife's body slump to the floor of, the car. He said he drove all night with the body trying to get nerve enough to kill himself. With the break of dawn he said he decided to give himself up and let the law take Its course.

END OF GERMAN GOVERNMENT IS BELIEVED NEAR Situation Worse as Marks Become Virtually Worthless. By / tiitej Xruts BERLIN. Aug. 22.—" After Ktresemann, chaos.” This is the plain warning emanating from sources associated wdth the German chancellor as the mark drops further toward the abyss and prices are alarmingly elevated. “The Stresemann government will be the last cabinet formed In Germany,” a government spokesman said. He predicted that if Stresemann failed through lack of support or through force. Germany would crumble Into final disintegration. Internal conditions justify the gloomy prophecy. In a day of wild exchange transactions, the mark at one time touched 42,000,000 to the pound; It closed at 82,000,000 to the pound or more than 6,000,000 to the dollar. Drastic Move Planned Endeavoring to stabilize the insane monetary system, the government plans drastic regulation. Practically confiscating hoarded foreign currencies. the decree, probably the most radical ever made by the Government, Is’ to be issued very soon, It Is understood. Meanwhile the food situation Is hourly growing more critical. The government sugar cards, on which housewives previously obtained two pounds of sugar per month, are no longer honored, as supplies are exhausted. Fats are rationed at a premium. Before all shops long lines of women and children wait their turn to buy. When they finally reach the counters not over a half pound of margarine can be given to each person. Cigarettes Exhausted. Cigarettes have also become exhausted and there is little prospect of obtaining adequate new supplies. Tobacco shops are now selling only five cigarettes to one customer at a time. Cigars have been limited to the sale of three at a time. The larger Ruhr cities report they have fair supplies on hand, but that food prices are prohibitive to any but the wealthy. Smaller towns report everything has been sold out except small supplies of bread and bacon. American tourists are quitting Berlin and German resort cities, as they find that hotels can no longer supply them with adequate food at reasonable prices. Feeling against foreigners Is growing and has been recently accentuaed by the Bergdoll Incident. LEGIONNAIRES TO ELECT Yanks Are Advised to Attend Their State Convention St. Mihiel-Loer Post, American Legion, will elect two delegates and two alternates to the annual State convention at Michigan City, Sept. 10-12, at the Chamber of Commerce on Thursday night.

County Council Head Says $400,000 'Saving’ Claimed by Auditor Result of Jugging Figures—Demands Copies of 1924 Budget at Once. “I don’t think a $400,000 surplus is any credit to the county auditor, as it means taxpayers paid higher taxes than were necessary last year,” said Cassius L. Hogle, president of the county council, today.

Hogle indicated he would demand copies of the proposed budget for be furnished immediately by County Auditor Leo K. Fesler, to facilitate acton at the council meeting Sept. 4-5. , According to Fesler. the 1924 budget calls for $1,105,870 in excess of the amount* asked last year, the total budget for next year being $2,954,696. Fesler said he would be able to reduce the 26-cent levy on the SIOO assessment to 21 cents by virtue of a surplus of $400,000 from last year’s budget. Characterizing the surplus as a result of "Juggling" figures, Hogle said: ”It makes good propaganda, I suppose. But we will take up this budget item by item and see that county offices and institutions are not granted too much money, but also, that no departments are skimped to the point of inefficiency merely to make a good showing, with a lower tax rate.” The auditor said he would have copies of the budget ordinance ready for the council the last of the week. In referring to the fact that he foresaw a decrease in the tax rate despite an Increase in expenses of more than $1,000,000, Fesler said the county would receive next year the fees from the treasurer’s and prosecutor’s offices, which will add to the county's Income.

POLICE SQUABBLE OVER MYSTERIOUS MHRDERWARRANL Objection Voiced to Filing of j Charge Without Strong Evidence. Much discussion of the disposition of a mysteriously filed warrant, charg lng murder, placed on the warrant book at police headquarters earlj* Tuesday by Lieut. Arthur McGee, Sergt. Melvin Wljkerson and Patrolman Bedford, was heard around police headquarters today. The warrant became useless when McGee and Bedford went to Colfax.

Richland St., who died Thursday at the city hospital of knife wounds Inflicted by an unknown man a short time before, In the rear of 821 Richland St. McGee said today that the young man suspected proved a complete alibi.

Since than he has been 111 at the home of a relative Vagrancy fiiarge Preferred Discussion centered around effect of filing of a warrant charging such a grave offense, bein on the records] without strong evidence. It is pointed out by those who are familiar with the procedure used In such cases that a warrant charging vagrancy would have been correct. The vagrancy charge carries as much power to return a. man for trial as does a murder warrant. It also Is said that a vagrancy warrant gives away no plans and leaves the officers free to Investigate. Captain I'naware of Warrant. Captain Rowe, on duty at the time of-the filing of the warrant, stated he knew nothing of the warrant and that If he had he wouldn't have permitted a warrant other than a vagrancy warrant charging the man with being a fugitive to be filed. It is said the warrant was filed after three men. unknown to I>eputy Prosecutor Remy, had appoared at his home. Remy Is acting In the absence of J Burdette Little, regular city court prosecutor. Remy is said, after he drew up a warrant charging murder, to have refused to allow men outside the police department to sign It. Lieutenant McGee, it is said, then signed the warrant. John Mullin, Inspector of detectives, said he knew nothing of the warrant Tuesday afternoon. When he heard it had been filed he was seen to en* ter the office of Chief Rikhoff. All clews gained by the police uniformed department usually axe turned over immediately to the detective department. it is said. Chief Rikhoff said he had not beera consulted by the officers before the/ left the city with the warrant, but had been given a little information. It Is not known what action he will take
