Laura Weaver, a 21-year-oid woman
of great size and strength, was
held today lor the torch murder
of her common-law husband, Wll
mer T. Kitselman, Ii2.
Six feet tall and welshing 230
pounds, the younn woman told of
strangling Kitselman, wrapping his
body in n quilt, rolllns It down
stairs, loading it Into an automo
liilo and driving Into the country
where she dumped it hy the road
side, poured naphtha over ii and
touched n match.
A brother identified the victim
through a set of false teeth.
After two hours' questioning, ttie
Weaver woman detailed for county
officers the story of her affair Willi
Kitselman and lis ending. Her con

confession, as released by officers
said. "He had been drinking. He
grabbed n chair and tried to strike
me with it. I got away from that.
Then lie tore a mirror from the
wall and brought it down on my
head. It smashed into a thousand
pieces and almost stunned me.
"Finally I got him on the bed and
sat watching him an hour. He got

were at church. I pulled the old
patchwork quilt from under him
and threw it over his head. It I
seemed' a long time that lie coik
tinned moving under the quilt. Kin
ally lie was still.
"I got some fish line and tied
him up, bending him so his chin
rested on his knees. I rolled him
off the bed, and wrapped the quilt
around him. like a bundle.
Rolled Downstairs
"I went down and drove the
coupe up to the door. Then 1 went
back. I didn't want to carry such
a load down, bo i rolled it down
the stairs. At the foot of the mull's
I picked him up nnd put him in
the back of the coupe."
She told of driving out of town,
of stopping to buy naphtha and of
leaving the main road for a little
frequented byway. Then she con
tinued: "I took the bundle out and threw
It beside the road in some weeds.
1 poured naphtha over It, threw the
jar away and touched a match.
It was blazing when I drove away."
That was on Sunday. The next
day the bundle was still smoulder
ing when the farm boys found It.
The Weaver woman returned to
the room and sought to destroy all
evidence. One of her efforts to
divert suspicion, the sheriff paid,
was a letter to lvltselman's bro
ther, E. B. Kitselmnn, nf Peorin.
in which she said that Kitselman
was "on one of his periodical
drunks." nnd that she ftas leaving
-.to return to her home in Naper -
ville.
The ynining landlord irom
whom I lie Weaver woman nnd Kit
selman rented became suspicious
at .the protracted absence of hta
roomers. He hud heard of the find
ing of a body near Annawan. HO
miles away. He learned that fras-
ments of nquilt had been found,
and he Identified these as being
from a quilt used Uy his roomers.
He then wrote to K. H. Kitselman
in t'poria of his suspicions. i n u s
was started the investigation wntch
ended with laura Weaver's arrest.

This remarkable record, never !

Amomo,ile Association reprexen-
tatives, and run under the olficia!
observation of that body.
The finish of the test, after IS
days, S hours and 40 minutes of
continuous running, came at the
. zenith of one of the worst storms
experienced in years in central In
diana. A tiO-mile-an-hour gale, ac
companied by a cloudburst , de
scended with little warning on the
speedway early In the evening of
the nineteenth day of the tost and,
after demolishing Marmon pit head
quarters, tearing roofs from grand
stands am; tilling the track with
debris, brought an unwelcome end
to the reconi-muking run.
Not only did torrents of rain ob
literate the vision of the driver
and his riding companion, but the
velocity of the wind was so great
that the car was swung sideways
on the south turn of the famous
course and continuance of the run
was made physically impossible.
Shortly after the fury of the
i storm subsided, Marinon officials
and A. A. A. representatives visited
the speedway, the scene of destruc
tion, and agreed to bring the test
to Its official conclusion.

When the run was completed,

SOUND KNELL OF
SEA DISASTERS
liy A. B. McComli
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
PA HIS (A) "Such disasters at
sea as the Titanic and Vestris
horrors will he made impossible
in the future," it was predicted in
Paris by Cnpt. Charles Albert Mc
Allister, president of. the American
Hureau of Shipping, on his arriv
al here after attending the Inter
national Conference on Safety at
Sea in Iondon.
Cnpt. McAllister explained some
hitherto unknown results of the!
conference nnd asserted that al-!
most every conceivable element of'
danger at sea, for passengers on
lareg ships, can be eliminated. I
"When the treaty that the con-;
Terence has drawn up ,has been
put Into effect, it will be virtually
Impossible for a trans-Atlantic
liner to sink," he said. 'Tinier
the new regulations, which will
almost certainly bo adopted by
the chief maritime powers, the
hull of every ship will be divided
into water-tight compartments In
such a manner that, If any two
compartments leak " or are caved
In, the vessel will continue to
float
"Another Important reform is
the new ' rule which creates an
international standardized code
for the helmsman's orders, Here
tofore, the helmsman's orders
have differed widely In various
countries, nnd this has led to con
fusion and often to serious acci
dents In the case of vessels being
....Sps5.1I etaol Hhrd shrdlushrdl
taken into gorelgs ports by for
eign pilots."
i'ntil the present, Capt. Mc
Allister added, there has been no
uniform, enforcaldo law which
forced all ships to be adequately
provided with lifeboats and life
saving apparatus.
"When the Titanic sank she
was equipped with lifeboats suf
ficient for only threc-quarte rs of
her passengfrs," he continued.
"Kvery ship must be equipped
with not only sufficient neats in
the lifeboat m for everybody nn
board, but there must alf-o be a
25 per cent additional amount of
fl:itfng material as rafts and
lifebuoy.
Further measures agreed to at
the meeting were;

POOR, IS REPORT
HERI.IX (P) Assertions that
Willulm Hojienzollern, former. em
peror of Oermany, is the richest
individual of the nation, as made
by several secret magazine writers
here, are denied by the llohenzoi
lern Family Administration In
Merlin.
Instead of topping the list nf
rich men among citizens of the
republic, the administration says
that Its principal has a hard time
floating loans with which to raise
the ready cash needed for the up
keep of his Vast landed estates.
Furthermore, It asserts, these es
tates are not the solo property of
the former emperor, but belong
Jointly to him and numerous rela
tives. The Ifohcnznllcrn forests and
cstatos are estimated to hp. worth
only 27.301,859 marks (approxi
mately $6,562 44ti) by their ad
mlnistratnrs. This contrasts
strongly with the figures of the
writers, whose conclusions ran all
the way from 42,000,000 marks to
200.000.0oo marks, equivalent, to
from t10.OSO.OOa to 4K,000,000.
And besides, the estate manage
ment says, the settlement with the
Prussian government was for 1 &,
000,000 marks (about $3.fi000,000)
and not for the 210,000 000 marks
that , have been bruited among
the writers. .-'?
While J.1.G00.000 Is n tidy bit
of cash It has proved inadequate
as a working fund for the landed
estates. Economist . have said
that the wooded poYtlons of the
Hohenznllern possessions have In
creased in value of late' years,
but the administrators assert that
from experience they know that
farms and forests cannot be con
sidered profitable Investments un
der present day conditions in tier
many. -..
Then to cap the irguroent ns
to the difficult situation that con
fronts the llohrnzollern purse.
the management points out that
the figures they give do not rep
resent the proptrey nf one person
or one household, but must be
