aKE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, P ORTLAND, THURSDAY, a MAY 6, 1920. BLUEBEARD PLEADS GULTY TO MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE - By-W. Boyd GaU-wood Los Anffeles, May 8. (I. N. s.) "Bluetoard' Harvey, arch-murderer of five .. of , twp dozen "wives," pleaded gijilty here today in superior court to an indictment charging htm with the murder of 'ina Lee Delo ney, , whose body jie revealed in its Devil's Canyon grave. The indictment i one for murder in the firwt degree, warranting a sentence of death. Superior Judge Willis, before whom he pleaded, selt- Monday at 10 r'fto-k as the time to,- Impose sentence. 0 KMOTIOVJ HHOWS .'"Bluebeard" 'stood alone, supporting himself on the rail of the jury box, as the indictment was read to him. Not ne tract of emotion crossed his face an he wh , formally accused of the brutal rrime, . . ; To this ; indictment, how do you pied?" asked the prosecutor. ' Harvey's answer was in so faint a whisper that it could scarcely be heard. In reality his lips only shaped the word, "Ouilty."( ' . , Immediately Superior .Pudge- Willis set Monday at-10 o'clock as the time for sentence. KAMTY gi:KtTIONEI "As there seems to be some doubt as to this man's sanity. I will appoint two physicians to examine him and report to me," ; the court announced from the bench. I . District Attorney Thomas Lee Wool wine did not make any. recommenda tion to the court that Harvey be given life Imprisonment Instead of the death penally. The district attorney did not address - the court, as such a , recom mendation is only imade at . the time when sentence is pronounced, which wilt h J.Towl:'v morning. Vvu,vin i; !ii:cusk8 to say iV'oolwine declined to state whether he will follow the terms of his reported agreement with Harvey, in which the "Bluebeard" is said to" have been as sured, before making his confession, that life imprisonment , instead, of - the ieath penalty would be recommended. The indictment is based on the death of Nina See Deloney of . Portland and T,oulsville, Ky., woman whom "Blue beard" married in San Francisco and whose body he revealed Tuesday in its lonely grave. "'-.)' JVDHJ NATION IS HIGH Public indignation is at" a high pitch here today at any possibility of the arch murderer escaping" the ' death penalty. Prominent citizens have Interposed pro tests to District Attorney , Woolwine against any recommendation of life s ntence. 'j " Karly ; today Harvey sent for Wool wine, telling attendants that he wished to give additional "facts. -. Everyone thought he had decided to . bare more murders, but when Woolwine arrived at the hospital he Said he had experienced another lapse of memory and. therefore, didn't know f be had disposed of other "wives." , ,.j . IGNORES INSASITT 1EFE"8E "If freCalT any other!ftames of miss ing women and know what' happened to them, -I'll send for you at once," he said. He gave out ..the.' following statement 'today: ' ''!""" "There has been some talk about my building up an 'insanity defense. I do not wish to enter a plea of insanity. This is final. I wish the public to believe me when I sincerely state that I am pos sessed of an abnormal . mentality. . "There are obvious reasons why -I de sire to be found guilty . of murder In Los A ngeles . county. I ; do not want to go back, to Washington. I could never live through that : ordeal. ' Capital punish ment is in effect there now, and I might never live to stand .trial. People are more primitive there. California peni tentiaries are run better, anyway. . "However, I am not emotional. When I have done these things, done away with the women, I can't seem to stir any sort of emotion concerning them. They Just appear matter of fact. I've tried and failed." Bluebeard Is resting well, eating heart ily and gaining strength rapidly, county hospital attendants declare. He will be fully strong enough to j go Into court Monday or Tuesday for its sentence. Two Acquitted by . Court of Stealing Government Wool '"-'-:- - ' li : .. 'V.'.' ' '-"'-." v ' " : -' .. . . .
