RIBBON KILLER, CONVICTED, GETS LIFE WHENCE ‘They Framed Me,’ Says Murderer of Pretty Chicago Bride. Bn United Prrtn CHICAGO, July 10.—William Putscher, 30, who called himself a “first class burglar,” must spend the remainder of his life in prison on his conviction by a jury on charges that he strangled a pretty young bride with a black silk ribbon. Putscher, a sharp-faced man with long sideburns, was sentenced Thursday night in Judge Peter M. Sehwaba's court. He paled as he stood to receive the sentence and his hands gripped a table to keep from falling when the judge committed him to life imprisonment. "I didn’t do it. They framed me,” he said as he was led out of the courtroom, looking back at the twelve jurors who had considered the case less than three hours. Mrs. Mildred Helsing was killed on April 1, 1930. Some time later, Putscher was arrested. He boasted of having committed 300 burglaries in Chicago. Twice he confessed to having killed Mrs. Helsing, and both times he repudiated the confessions. ‘T didn’t do it! I didn’t do it!” Putscher insisted when he testified in his own defense at the last session of his trial. He charged that police beat him with a rubber hose and otherwise forced him to confess. It Is claimed that giving blood for transfusions generally improves health.
