through any statements from Mr. Gormon and Mr. Reller, or from any threats by either of them. (Signed) Bert Parker. Witnesses I. A. Gormon. W. V. Reller. Clarence's Confession. "I Clarence Parker met Irvin White in Miller's saloon. Had words in saloon about game of cards. I was put out of Miller's saloon twice. Then went to Grand saloon. Played game of pool with brother Edward. Went out and up to Eighth street. Brother Ed and Bert and I went into Torbeck's saloon. We all had beer there. Went

out and soon after Irvin White passed me, going North. I tcilowed him and went to A street, to north side, to Catholic church. Walked down west a piece and then went across to where White was going west. "He said when I crossed the street, 'I suppose you want to whip me.' Then I said 'No, I don't know as I ought to whip you; you are the one that wanted to whip me." White said 'By G I can do it. lie then started to pull his overcoat. ,. "I struck him with my fist. He fell and then I kicked him in the side of the head. He was lying on his back and I started east and met Bert about fifty feet east. We then went east to I think about Thirteenth street, North to C, then east to Fifteenth to 318, where I live. Got home about 11 p. m. This happened Saturday night, February 1, 1913, on North A street, near Catholic school house. I make this statement with my own free will to Mr. I. A. Gormon, superintendent of policeand William Relier, prosecuting attorney. Neither of them made any threats or promises to me. (Signed) Clarence Parker. Witnesses I. A. Cormon, Will W. Reller. Asked No Questions. The Parker brothers were arreBted at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Vogelsong and Supt. Gormon, following evidence obtained by Chief of Police Gormon from Orba Roberts of the threat made by Parker after the card game and quarrel. At the time of their arrest, neither man asked any questions nor made any statement. "When I went into the house where the Parkers live at 318 North Fifteenth street, I said 'Get on your coats boys and come along," said Chief Gormon. "The boys did not say a word nor ask on what charge they were arrested which settled conclusively in my mind that they were guilty. Vogelsong took charge of Clarence and I took Bert. Nothing was said to either of them in regard to the murder." The brothers were placed far enough away from each other in the jail to prevent communication between the two. Chief GoGrmon, when asked why he did not question the men at once stated that he wanted to give them time -to think the matter over and see the futility of plunging into a denial. At 8 o'clock last night, Bert, the younger of the brothers was taken into the chief's private office. Prosecuting Attorney Reller and Chief of Police Gormon were the only persons in the room with Bert. The door was locked and was not opened until 9:30 o'clock when Bert was returned to his cell and Clarence brought out. Bert's face was flushed and dark blue circles were around his eyes. He smiled slightly while passing from the private "offioe to his cell. . Clarence was visibly shaken and nervous when taken into the chief's office for cross-examination. He was closeted with Gormon and Reller for one hour and five minutes before he signed the confession and was returned to his cell. After spending a sleepless night at the city hall the brothers were removed to the county jail this morning at 9 o'clock. Patrolmen Vogelsong and Westenberg, Patrol Driver Wenger and a reporter were in thewagon with the men. The men said nothing until they were placved in the patrol wagon. They did not appear very nervous al-

WILL APPROPRIATE EXPENSES OF ROAD Miscellaneous expenses in connection with the Howard road case, which the county commissioners supposed were paid, will be allowed by the commissioners at their next meeting. The total of expenses is $45. The road is located northeast of Creensfork in Clay township. Several remonstrances when the road was constructed made necessary the removal of the case from the commissioners court to the Wayne circuit court. Several allowances were made to the property holders where the toad inter sected their properties

though the eyelids of both men were red and swollen. The men joined in the laugh over a joke and talked to others on the way to the county jail. No anger was shown by Clarence toward his brother Bert for confessing the former's crime. At the examination last night Clarence was not told that Bert had given the story of the affair to Chief of Police Gormon and Prosecuting Attorney Reller. Unless Bert told him, he does not know it now. Both of the brothers were friendly to each other this morning. Unaware of Trouble. Mrs. Clarence Parker, wife of the confessed murderer of Irvin White, did know of the serious crime her husband had committed until she was awakened this morning by the cries of newsboys. The shock of the news affected her greatly but this afternoon she had regained her composure

and said that she intended to Btand by her husband through thick and thin. Mrs. Parker was present yesterday when her husband and his brother, Bert, were arrestea but she was under the impression at that time that they were only charged with assault and battery. She was not aware of the trouble they had had with White. She said that the first intimation of the trouble that she had was when she was in the rear of the house yeBterday afternoon and her husband, Clarence was preparing to go to work. At that time Clarence looked out of the window and said, "There comes Mr. Gormon." Mrs. Parker stated that

she then walked into the front room where she saw Patrolman Vogelsong with Bert Parker. Before going out, Mrs. Parker stated, Bert said, "It will all come out right." Have Little Money. Later in the day, she said, another patrolman came to the house and told her that the men were held for fighting but said nothing about the murder charge. Mrs. Parker was very anxious to learn the fate of the men and was disappointed when she was told that nothing could be learned until the grand jury had made an investigation. She seemed to be consoled when she learned that she would probably be permitted to see her husband. Mrs. Bert Parker did not say much, but seemed anxious to see her husband. The women said that they have little money. Mrs. Clarence Parker has been married about six years. During that time she stated the two have lived happily most of the 'time although they had a few quarrels.

.For several months he has been work

ing part of the day and most of the night at the American Seeding Machine company where he was a core carrier during the day and worked on the ring floor at night. Bert helped Clarence at night, starting to work late in the afternoon. Bert was married Saturday, January 24, his wife, whose maiden name was Smith, being a Centerville girl.

LEFT TO RIGHT CHIEF MEYERS AND JIM THORPE. NEW YORK, Feb. 4. The news that Manager John McGraw has signed Jim Thorpe, the greatest all-around athlete of all time who was recently expelled from the A. A. U. because of professionalism, has caused the dopesters to wonder just how effective the Giant's All-Indian Battery will be against the other teams of the National League. McGraw is said to have signed Thorpe as a p.tching recruit, and it is a sure bet that Chief Meyers, the star catcher of the Giants, will do everything in his power to help his fellow Red Man to make good.
