STRANGLER ADMITS CRIME.

Negro Confesses to Murder of Mrs. Grant In Chicago. Richard Walton, the negro murderer of Mrs. Lillian White Grant of Chicago, confessed to his crime at the Hyde Park police station. He smiled broadly and was in no way abashed by the fiendish recital, which poured easily from his lips. With the confession of the murder came a dramatic Te-enactment of the crime in the office of Captain McWeeney of the Hyde Park station, in which Police In-

spector Nicholas Hunt impersonated th« Strangled woman, while the negro knotted his huge black hands above the police official's throat in demonstration of the manner in which the crime was done.
