4 mUHUER CHARGE

PLACED AGAINST WOMAN SLAYER

Mrs. Daisy Dillman, Formerly of Richmond and Milton, Held to Dayton Jury.

DAYTON, Ohio, July 15. When arraigned In police conrt Tuesday morning, on a charge of first degree murder, Mrs. Clarence Dillman, confessed slayer of John Connaughton, formerly of Richmond, Ind., broke down completely. Following the arraignment, she was taken Into custody and held for the grand jury, without bond. Mrs. Dillman Is said to be the wife of a mechanic at Richmond, and to have lived at Milton, Indiana. Miss Mary Connaughton, of Richmond, sister of the dead man, arrived in Dayton Tuesday morning and arranged for his funeral. The body was burled Tuesday afternoon In the Woodman cemetery here. Connaughton had been a source of worry to his sister for some time, It is said. She did not know of his whereabouts except Indirectly, she heard that he was living In Dayton. She knew nothing of the woman with whom he had been living. A telegram simply announced the fact that he had been killed. She learned that a woman had killed him through another source. Away Over Two Years. Connaughton has been away from Richmond for over two years, she said. The mother died three years ago and the father before that. After the death of the mother Miss Connaughton went to live with Mrs. Anna Weber. 42 South Third street, Richmond, where she has resided since. Her brother roomed elsewhere and she . was not in communication with him and has not been since that time, she said. Mrs. Dillman was never Connaughton's wife, according to the records of Wayne county. She is Daisy Gunsaulus Dillman, 35 years old, wife of Clarence Dillman, of Milton, Ind. The couple had never been divorced, Richmond authorities declared. The same officials asserted Uiat the Dillman woman has been before the courts of Wayne county on various charges. Shortly after the killing the woman pave herself up to the police and without reservation of any sort, frankly discussed the tragedy and the reasons wMch led to it. Statements of persons living in the house are to the eect that the couple had been quarreling at intervals for several days, which was particularly animated Sunday when the woman accused Connaughton of hugging and kissing another woman. The dispute reached a climax shortly before 10

o'clock Monday, when she opened fire on Connaughton in a small room used as a kitchen, it Is said. Wounded, it is asserted by police, she followed him to the bedroom in the front of the house, where he fell dying, and to make certain of his death, she leaned over the prostrate man and slashed at his throat until the head was nearly cut from the body. After assuring herself that she had "completed the job," according to volice, she telephoned Mrs. Cosy F. Peden, who conducts the rooming Louse, and said: "Come down right away; I have ki.led Jack." Mrs. Peden answered the summons and was horrified to find the body of Connaughton lifeless in a pool of

blood. Police were notified and the woman was taken to police headquarters. Charges Abuse. While hysterical at times, she told Inspector of detectives Walter Hughes that she had killed the man because he had abused, choked and applied harsh names to her. Sunday, she declared, Connaughton, with another man,1 was shooting craps in the bathroom, and she saw a woman open the door and go in. Pointing to her throat, sha exhibited markB which she explained Connaughton inflicted when he brutally choked her. His treatment became Intolerable, she asserted, and when she could not stand it any longer, she decided to kill "him. "I went to my locker and got a revolver and shot him. When he cried get me a doctor,' I said, 'you won't need a doctor when I get through with you; what you'll need is an undertaker," she told Hughes. Without the display of either concern or emotion she then described cutting her victim's throat after he fell to the floor dying from the bullet wounds. "I leaned over him and saw that he was still breathing. I went to the bathroom, got his razor and bent over him again; he was still breathing, so I cut his throat." Examination of Connaughton's effects by police raised the question whether the woman was ever.iuarried to the man. A marriage certificate was found, it was said, showing the names of John F. Connaughton and Ann eta Connaughton. had been married In Indiana; also a copy of a divorce decree, disclosing separation February 2, 1911, which had been made by the courts of Butler county. O. Connaughton and the woman are aid to have been living here since last November. Was War Veteran. Connaughton had also been known under the names of Connard and Con-

nerton, and was a veteran of the Spanish war. Correspondence with

Washington officials show that he applied for a pension shortly after his

discharge, claiming throat and kidney trouble disability, as result of military service. The application for allow

ance was denied.

The woman has been employed as a

laundry worker in Hamilton. Indian-

In a laundry in Dayton. Dr. B. O. Willoughby, coroner, conducted an autopsy yesterday at the Davis undertaking establishment, Washington and Hopeland streets. Coroner Willoughby has notified relatives of the man, and funeral arrangements are pending until thoy are heard from. The coroner declared that all the Important nerves and vessels of the neck had been severed, and the head remained attached to the body only by the thick flesh at the base of the nock. He attributed death directly to these wounds. Married Dayton Woman. Henry Gruver, 1173 Wlldwood avenue, told police last night that Connaughton had been married to one of his daughters, but subsequently divorced. There was a child, ho said, but it died. He had lost trace of the man, he declared, since his daughter separated from him, until he heard of the killing yesterday. Mrs. Dillman, or Mrs. Connaughton, as she calls herself, nearly collapsed at central police station Monday night. After the excitement of the tragedy had worn off, and she came to a realisation of the deed, it took the combined efforts of the matron and other attendants to quiet her, it was said.

F. W. Wesler, Garden Supervisor The squash vine borer la a white, flesh grub that feeds on the inside

of squash stems, and through the shutting off of the supply of food and moisture from the roots causes tinplants to wilt and finally die. The presence of these pests Is indicated by the wilting of the leaves beyond the point of attack and the yellowish excrement found beneath the stem at points where they are at work. The grubs cannot be reached with a poison spray since they are working on the inside of the stems, but they can be controlled by a little surgery. With a sharp pen knife slit the stem where the borers are working,

cutting half way through the stem, and laying open their burrows. Pull out

the white grubs with the point ot the knife and crush them. Then press the cut surface together and cover with earth to promote healing.

tt is a good plan to cover a good

many of the joints or tne squaen. vines with earth to promote the formation of roots from these joints, and thus enabling the plant to get more

food and moisture, make it better

able to withstand the attack of these

insects.

In the fall the old squash vines

should bo pulled up and burned to destroy any of the borers that still remain. Since the larvae winter in the Boil, fall cultivation and deep spring

plowing will also help to control them.
