Mo., Declares Blow on Head
Two Years Ago Arfected Her.

HARRISONVTLLE, Mio.. June 12.
Mrs. Arthur Kellar confessed today
that It was she who killed her hus
band, a railroad laborer, and their
daughter, Margaret, 7 years old, last
Tuesday.
Kellar and the girl were slain with
an ax as they lay In their beds.
The confession brought to a quick
termination the Coroner's inquest that
nas oeen in session two days in an
attempt to place the responsibility for
the murder. Mrs. Kellar was taken to
jail.
Plea of Irresponsibility Made.
"God knows I would not have killed
them had I known what I was doing."
Mrs. Kellar said in her confession.
She declared she had frequently been
irresponsible for her actions since she
received a blow on the head two years
ago.
In her confession Mrs. Kellar relates
that when she went to bed Monday
night she was feeling bad and lay
down with her clothes on.
Later she awoke, and Impelled by a
force she could not resist, Bhe says, "she
secured the ax, and returning to the
room where her husband and Margaret
were asleep in the same bed struck
them both, blow on blow. Only after
the deed was done did she realize
what she had done.

to some paper on a chair near Kel

Later she went to the kitchen, light
ed a lantern, and returned with water
with which she bathed Margaret's
wounds.

a piece off her own bed that she
might make it appear that she also
had been attacked.

who had fled as she awakened after
he had struck at her with an ax, but
had failed to hit her and had struck
the bed instead.

that while concealed behind a door in
an adjoining room he had seen his
mother strike the blows that killed his
father and sister. He said he jumped
into bed and pretended to be asleep
when Mrs. Kellar went into his room.
WEST WOULD BE FARMER
GOVERNOR SAYS HE IS UNABLE
TO AFFORD AUTOMOBILE.
Executive Believes That When His
Term Expires He Will Have
Accomplished Aims.
SAXJSM, Or., June 12. (Special.)
Despite rumors to the effect that he
would be a candidate for re-election
and that preliminary arrangements for
his campaign were being made, Gov
ernor West positively announced today
that he would not be a candidate for
the .office again.
"I want it distinctly understood,"
declared the Governor, "that anybody
who says I will be a candidate for re
election does not know what he is
talking about. I think when my term
expires I will have accomplished all
I started out to accomplish, and that
will satisfy me. There is much hard
work connected with the office, and
the. remuneration Is not such that a
man can save 'any money."
"Then about all there is to the of
fice is honor?" was suggested.
"Honor, 1 don't give a hang for
that," continued the Governor. "I
never think of that. What I want to
do is to finish my work and then get
to work at something so I can pro
vide for my family and make a com
petency for them. I Intend to practice
law. but just where I have not decided.
Then when I am about 55 or 56 years
of age I would like to settle on a
ranch and pass the rest of my days
there."'
The Governor said that the financial
drains on him were larger than most
people thought. While he lives mod
estly he said that his traveling ex
penses were large. The state now pro
vides $1000 for the traveling expenses
of the Governor when on the state's
business, but until two years ago only
1500 a year was provided. The Gov
ernor declared that he could not live
like a "piker" when away from home,
and the expenses of many of his trips
were paid by himself.
Governor West said that he had
never bought an automobile because
he did not want one, wouldn't have
one if somebody would maice him a
present of It, couldn't operate it if he
had it, and above all could not afford
a machine.
