I planned the whole thing in cold blood because I decided that was the only way I could do it and get away with It,' he said. 'The thought of killing a person was not so repugnant to me as it might be to most persons because of my experience in my father's butcher shop. A man :n a butcher shop gets so closely acquainted with blood that he looses his aversion to it.

With these influences working in my veins, the step from discontent to what I did was a short one. Of course I am sorry for what I did; any sane man would be, and I am sane but that does not help matters now. "I loved my wife in spito of what I have done. I loved her too well to desert her and leave her with memories of a ruined romance to keep her company during the rest of her life. I decide" trie easiest way was to kill her.

The two pistols, ten empty shells and five bullets which were found in the hall way where the shooting occurred were produced. Wanderer probably will be taken before tho grand Jury Monday. Wanderer did not repeat his confession before the coroner' jury though he was present at the inquest.

Foundation stones for a new party on which to unite all third party movement.! were laid when the committee of 4S and the single tax party joined Saturday in their first national convention to draft a platform and rick nominees who. they hope, will win the support of ten or a dozen liberal organizations.

Rules, resolutions and nominations for permanent otMclals were debated step by step and at times acrimoniously. The temporary chairman. J. A. H.

Division between the liberal and radical elements was brought out in the rubs debate when Swinburn Hale of New York said the state delegations were divided "fifty-one per cent, libera land forty-nine per cent radical".

They are opposed, their leaders say, to accepting Robert M. RaFollctte, "he favorite presidential candidate of the Forty-cighters, and may bolt the convention and select their own ticket if LaFollette 1 ncminated.
