The blow only knocked her out," he was quoted. "I took a blanket and wrapped it around her head and smothered her. I killed her that way because it prevented bloodstains." In addition to these details of the death of Mrs. Deloney, officials said Watson also announced the name of he fifth woman he is alleged to have killed as Mrs. Beatrice Andrewartha of England and Canada. He is said to have stated he mar ried her in Tacoma, Wash., February 5. 1919, and later took her to Seattle. They went boating on Lake Wash ington, he is said to have confessed. and he threw her out of the boat and held her under water until she was drowned. The five women whom Watson is said to have confessed murdering are: Nina Lee Deloney, knocked uncon scious with a hammer and smothered. Elizabeth Pryor, skull crushed with sledgehammer. ' Alice M. Ludvlgson. drowned. Bertha Goodnich, drowned. Beatrice Andrewartha, drowned. After' giving other 'details of his alleged 'crimes and receiving with evident satisfaction the announcement he was to have an opportunity to find the body of the Deloney woman, Wat son asked about the political situa tion I have not been able to keep in touch with it lately," he complained.

RETURN QF 95 WANTED Proposed Issue Of $2,500,000 In Highway Securities May Be Delayed. .' . . . . . V SALEM. Or., May 3.Special.) Unless the bond market recovers suf ficiently to Insure the retuA to the state of at least 95 cents on the dollar for all securities sold for highway construction work. It is not believed here that either Governor Olcott or State Treasurer Hoff. comprising the personnel of the state board of con trol, will dispose of (2,500,000 in bonds under the recently enacted fed eral aid act as requested by the state highway department. State Treasurer Hoff, in commenting on the bid of 916 received for 81,000,000 of these bonds at a recent meeting of the. board of control, declared today that he was opposed to selling the securi- ties for less than ,5 and that , he might demand even a, larger return. Specific Return Sot Set. Mr. Olcott. who has two votes on the board of control by virtue of being both governor and secretary of state, would not commit himself regarding any specific return on the bond's, but was emphatic in the assertion that he intended to handle the sale of the state's securities the same as though they were his own. This statement, coupled witn nis previous assertion to the effect that the bid of 91 was far too low to warrant the state selling its securi ties, indicated that he will demand a return equal to that specified by Mr. Hoff. At the time the issue of ii.ooo.ooo of federal aid bonds were offered for sale a few weeks ago several bids were received. Because the most sat isfactory of these was 91 all pro posals were rejected and the secre tary of the board was authorized to readvertise tor bids.
