CONFESSED SLAYER OF
BEAUTIFUL MOUCAN GIRL
ATTEMPTS JAIL SUICIDE
LOS MINAS, N. ht., Nov. 24 (ir')
In a state of semi-hysteria after
an attempted Jail cell suicide last
night, W.13. Cassidy, 43-year-old
Socorro business man, was to be
taken at an unannounced time to
day to the state penitentiary at
Santa Fe for safe keeping after
his announced confession to the
love killing of 19-year-old Rose
Garcia.
There was little resemblance in
the prisoner to the dapper, blue
eyed business manager of a Socor
ro laundry company known to
neighbors and residents. He was
haggard, unshaven and trem
bling, "eager to get it over."
Cassidy attempted to bang him
self with a chain from his cot in
the Valencia county Jail, but the
shouts of other prisoners brought
Jailors in time to cut him down
as be lapsed into a brief uncon
sciousness. He recovered shortly, but a
guard was posted to prevent any
further attempts at self destruc
tion. Cassidy was surrendered to
authorities Sunday night by a
physician to whom he pleaded for
"something to put me out of the
way." After long questioning he
directed officers to the raven
haired girl's mutilated body in a
crude grave along the sandhills of
Rio Salado.

after adopting a report admit
ting failure to settle the Chinese-Japanese
warfare.
Italy voted against the re

minded that Italy always con
tended the conference could
achieve no useful results.

the report, which criticizes Jap

of solidarity."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (AP)
Floyd L. Carlisle, chairman of
the Consolidated Edison com
pany, reported after a White
House conference today he was in
substantial agreement with Presi
dent. Rooseveit's power views and
his company expected to coop
erate in the new construction
program by spending 2100,000.-
000 in the next two years.
Carlisle gave added indications
of progress in the president's ef
forts to get private power utili
ties to meet what Mr. Roosevelt
calls a crying need for expansion
of that industry to help the gen
eral business situation.
"Fears Lessened"
"I think the fears of gov
ernment competition are very
much lessened by the discussions - -
that have taken place," Carlisle
told newsmen as he left the , I
White House. ' '',,,,, ;
"I am not In dissent from the
president's general views in ret- :
erelice to the basis of rate mak

York with a study of the possi
bilities of increased expansion we
can make in connection with the
new national housing program.
I expect this will be very sub
stantial in nature. -
"Go Ahead With Expansion"
"We are going ahead with ex-
pension of generatio- and die-.
tribution and I am confident
there will be markets for power
to absorb that expansion." '
Mr. Roosevelt said late yes

President Wendell L. Willkie of
the Commonwealth and Southern
