GREED FOR GOLD SLAYER'S MOTIVE DENVER, March 19. — Greed for gold was the motive, according to the police, which led Fred Janssen to murder his wife. Impassive, social, displaying but little interest in the efforts of those around him to clear up the murder and without the least bit of emotion, Janssen, until this morning, was truly a mystery man. But the sight of his wife cold in death, whose broken body he said he stuffed in a little trunk, after brutally beating her down with a hammer, then choking her for 20 minutes, snapped the thread which enabled him to withstand hours of third-degree grilling and he sobbed out what officers believe is the true confession of his dastardly crime. When the coffin was opened in the morgue, Janssen threw himself self beside it and kissed many times the cold lips of his wife, his reserve broken, lines of suffering appearing as if by magic on his face. He aged many years in but a few minutes. "I hit her three—four times," he said. "Like this." He raised his arm high above his head and brought it down with crushing force, staying its fall within a few inches of his wife's head. "It was a hammer," he s'ald, "an ordinary hammer. I hit her while she was saying her rosary—praying—praying for the people." Janssen, according to the police, confessed that robbery of his wife's savings was responsible for his actions, but police for some unknown reason guard carefully this phase of his confession. After telling his story, Janssen, on the verge of collapse, was led, staggering and sobbing to his cell, telling his guards that he was ready for his punishment and welcomed death as a relief from his tortured conscience.

Churchill is standing for election in the Westminster division. The polling was lively and there were many fights. By mid-afternoon it appeared that the battle had simmered down to a contest between Churchill and A. Fenner Brockway, the labor candidate. Westminister is a Tory stronghold. Churchill ran as an independent and anti-laborite. There were two other candidates—Otho Nicholson, a Tory, and Scott Duckers, a liberal. The political struggle is a bitter one. At the wind-up meeting, supporters of Churchill attacked the Socialists and Laborites, declaring he would work against them if elected to parliament. He denounced the Labor government of Premier Ramsay MacDonald and praised the conservatives. NOT ENOUGH RAIN LOS ANGELES, March 19.—More rain will be needed to make So. Calif.'s crops a success this year, according to County Farm Advisor R. M. Hodgson in discussing the effects of the rainstorm which ended yesterday.
