The weapon used was a 22-calibre Remington rifle pumpgun. The poison taken was muricide acid. He was rushed to the Fullerton hospital in a Seale ambulance, where his stomach was pumped and he was given surgical attention. Today he was reported as having a 50-50 chance of recovery. He was expected to go thru the crisis this afternoon. The attempt at suicide came as the climax of a series of home troubles which also had gotten Marshall "in bad" with the police, who had arrested him on charges of battery and disturbing the peace, following a fight w/ his step-son, L. F. Sedan, living in the rear of the Marshall home; and on the charge of possession of liquor. He was out on bail amounting to $400 awaiting arraignment before Judge French. Mrs. Marshall had taken the side of her son, and had left Marshall. This happened a little less than two weeks ago. Since that Marshall had gotten drunk on moonshine," which for three days had made him blind. Within the last few months he is said to have "run thru" with about $2500. Yesterday afternoon, according to the story told by Sedan, at whose home Mrs. Marshall is residing, Marshall sent his wife a note, telling her if she wanted to talk with him to come over, that he was leaving for good this time. She that he meant leaving town. She went over. He told her he was going to kill himself. She told him "no one would take the easy way out but a fool and a sword." She that him to be "bluffing," Sedan said, and left the room. Sedan said he had made suicidal threats before. When she got out on the porch she heard a shot, and went back, and found he had tried to carry out his threat. She immediately called for help and he was taken to the hospital. MANY KILLED IN MIDWEST TORNADO CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—Twenty-nine dead, two missing, hundreds injured, and property damage which will run into millions, was the toll of the tornado which swept the mid-west Sunday, according to partially complete reports reaching here over partially re-established wires, from the devastated areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and Illinois shortly before noon. Twenty-two were reported killed at Thorp, Wis., which was reported virtually annihilated by the cyclone. At least six more are known to be dead at Ashland. Thermometers tumbled 40 degrees within a few hours. Six are dead and an unknown number injured in Wisconsin. At Milwaukee one man is dead and his five companions were recovering from a battle with the waves of Lake Michigan, which lashed to fury by the gale, scuttled their yacht at anchor in the harbor. Meager information reaching here over crippled wires indicated that, with the re-establishment of communication, the casualties would grow. The storm apparently swept down from the northwest, cutting a wide swath thru the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. The Dakota today were practically isolated from wire communication and what havoc the tornado played there was a matter of conjecture. The last word from that area told of entire credits of wires being torn down, while communities were in darkness, power plants out of commission and a 30-mile an hour gale sweeping down trees and unroofing houses. Trauth Wisconsin, trees and wires were down. Five or six deans at Thorp were killed by a live wire. At Chicago proper, the full fury of the storm was not felt and property damage here was signet.

CONFESSES TO DOUBLE MURDER MOUNT VERNON, Ill., Sept. 22 —A complete confession that he poisoned his wife and William Sweetin "because they were suffering and he wanted to put them out of their misery" was made today by Rev. Lawrence M. High, Ina Methodist pastor, after a night of grilling at the hands of State's Attorney Frank Thompson. The minister broke under the strain of the fire of questions shortly before dawn after he had been confronted with the testimony of a coroner's chemist that arsenic also had been found in the vital organs of Sweetin. Immediately after the confession, efforts of the prosecution were directed to solving the circumstances of a third mysterious death, that of an unnamed high school girl of Centerville, Ill., three years ago. The girl was a member of Hight's congregation at Centerville. For the confessed murders, there will be no demand for the death penalty, Thompson said. "I will not ask the death penalty," he said. "I owe that much to the church." "I will demand life imprisonment on both charges." That should suffice." Hight denied that any plan to clear the path for a romance between him and Mrs. Sweetin had prompted the poisonings. "On July 27," the confession reads, "I placed some poison in a glass of water and gave it to Wilford Sweetin. I did it to relieve him of his suffering from illness caused from ptomaine poisoning. He died in the morning." "There was nothing between Elsie Sweetin and myself." "She was one of my flock. She was a good Christian woman. I never did love her." Of his wife's death, the confession says: Brooklyn Virtually Tied With New York for Lead in National CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—Walter Johnson added another win to his string today and five more strike-outs when the Sanctors won from the White Sox 8-2.

Of his wife's death, the confession says: "I killed her solely to end her suffering in her dying moments. Our three children were in the kitchen at the time I poured the draught in her coffee. She was dying of ptomaine poisoning and I wanted only not to see her under such anguish." These statements came after over eight hours of questioning, at the end of which Thompson hurried the flat charge at the pastor that he had murdered his wife. "You up her head when she was in a stupor and gave her coffee just before she passed away, didn't you?" the prosecutor began. "Yes," he replied almost in a daze. "She asked for something warm." "You violated the doctor's orders and the physician admonished you, didn't he?" "It was my wife who violated the doctor's orders; she wouldn't take the medicine." "Come now, Hight, you put arsenic in the sugar bowl, didn't you?"

AUTO TURNS OVER A car owned by Conrada Morino of Puente, who is also reputed as the driver, and loaded with about five Mexican cars touched Demonstration When Tired Skymen Reach San Diego ROCKWELL FIELD, NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO, Sept. 22 — America has all but completed its task of belting the globe by air. One more hop-off 100 miles to Clover Field, Santa Monica and the round-the-world flight will be an accomplished fact. The three U. S. world cruisers which set out last March 17 from Santa Monica to string an aerial lane around the earth landed here safely at 10:30 today after a 275-mile jump from Tucson, Ariz. To morrow or Wednesday, dependent upon whether the motors are changed here, the flyers will leave for Clover Field. Lieut. Lowell Smith, flight commander, flying the "Chicago," was the first of the trio to land. He was followed an instant later by Lieut. Eric Nelson, in the "New Orleans," and Lieut. Leigh Wade in the "Boston II." The fliers' traveling in perfect "V" formation were sighted in the eastern sky at 10:24 a.m. At first the giant Douglas cruisers accompanied by more than 40 escort planes from North Island, resembled so many black specks in the heavens. But a minute later the globe-circling planes were well into view and the first sound of their roaring Liberty motors was the signal for the 100,000 persons who craned their necks from windows, streets and buildings for a glimpse of the flyers to flame forth in one spontaneous burst of cheering. The filers, the high they were and riding on the laps of the clouds, certainly must have heard that vociferous welcome as all San Diego, and hundreds of others who had come from various parts of So. Calif., to greet them, bellowed up their cries of welcome. San Diego's applause was significant of the plaudits of the nation. Hardly a minute later, after the filers were first sighted, the three "Magellanes of the air" were sailing over San Diego, headed straight as a stretched string for North Island, their landing place. Then suddenly in uniform formation, the three cruisers nosed sharply toward the earth and came sailing up the fairway to a halt between hangars Nos. 3 and 4. As the three planes came to a stop it was the cue for a renewed outbreak of howling from the crowd of 5000 people assembled at the field to witness the landing of the planes. The crowd was expected to number 30,000 but only about one-sixth that number were present, owing to the fact that the planes arrived some two hours ahead of schedule. The cheering had never ceased since the flyers WARNS FOREIGN SHIPS TO LEAVE LONDON, Sept. 22 — Marchal Chang Tso Lin, commander of the Mukden army, has notified foreign warships to leave Shanghai Kuan, as he intends to bomb the Pekingese warships in the harbor of that port, said a Shanghai dispatch to the Star today.

When he saw these "pals" and realized his work all but done, a sun continued on page six
