Repeats Story of Murder, Declares Seymour Is Not Guilty and Denounces Capital Punishment Pair Add Nothing Very New to Confession of S ome Time Ago Wild-Eyed Hansel Says He Does Not Remember Killing Lem Woon, Sentenced to Hang November 14, Will Probably Have Sen tence Commuted. Press representatives visited the pen- j itentiary this morning for the purpose of interviewing Spanos and Soymour, under sentence of death for the killing of Goorgo Dedaskalous at Modford; Os wald Hansel, sentenced to be hanged November 14 for the murder of Judge Frank Taylor at Astoria, a short time ago, and Lem Woon, also sentenced to die November 14, for the killing of Lee Toi Hoy at Portland, March 7, 1908, and who has boon under sentence for more than five years. Spanos and Seymour, who, unless the govornor interferes, will hang Friday morning, October 31, told the same sto ry as was contained in their confession published a week or two ago. Soymour says the reason he did not tell the truth at his trial was that lie and Span os hat J fallen out, that he wanted to "stick" Spanos because the latter was trying to got him. Spanos said he hoped that the laws would be changed and capital punishment dono away with. "It would do me no good," said ho, "but I am innocent, and many oth er innocent men will go the same road unless capital punishment is Btopped. He has a bright, intelligent face, does not look like & criminal and seemed cheerful and smiled as he talked. He is 21 years old and married, his wife being, when he married her, a widow with seven children. Those are with tlieir father in California. Not Present at Killing. Seymour says he is 19 years old, was liorn in Vancouver, Washington, and lived in Portland, lie says he had mot spanos but throe or four times before the killing of Dedaskalous. He insists he was not present when the killing was loue, and in this statement he is back ad up by Spanos, who says Soymour Mrs. Merriam Gets Divorce and Name Freed From Stain Van Francisco, Oct. 29. Captain Hon Ty (!. Merriam, U. 8. A., lost his suit for a divorce from Mrs. Bessie C. Miirriam ly a ilcvisiun handed down hero today by Superior Judge Graham. Instead Mrs. Merriam was given tho custody of their daughter, Charlotte, anil wu riled $7.3 a month for separate maintenance. Mrs. M rri am also was cleared by Judge Graham's division of charges of misconduct with Major Clarenco Mur S OF T Three hundred and fifty Marion rcninty teachers assembled at the au ditorium of the high school this morn ing to attend the annual institute. The attendance ini'ludet Salem tearhors and pupils hero, as elsewhere in the coun ty, are enjoying a holiday of a few days. The program, as announced In yes ' m I I i . ' i ' 1 , had gone down town when the row started in which the crime was commit ted. He, too, voiced a strong sentiment against capital punishment, saying life imprisonment was ten times worse,, but admitted he would prefer it. Hansel will not hang on the day set November 14, as his case has been ap pealed, which means it may be a year or more before it is decided. He looks wild-eyed and flighty, and has been in the insane asylum once for four months. He said the whole thing is a blank to him ,that he did not carry the gun for Taylor, but to protect himself from Jos. Kopf, who lived in Washington, and whose wife put up the money for his (Hansel's) wife to file divorce papers. Ho said he went into his room once to get a gun to kill Kopf, but his wife had removod it and he "did not have sense enough to get the shotgun." He is undoubtedly a dangerous person to be at large, for he seems to think he has the right to kill any one he does not like. Chink May Escape Gallows. Lem Woon, the little Chink, who is just a framework of a man, being small with not fat enough on him to grease a gimlet,, has already done five years time and ho was convicted on the testi mony of other Chinese, there being a fight on between rival factions of the Bow On Tong, and he was picked for a victim. Yoe Ouong, convictod with him, appealed, had judgment reversed and was finally sent back to China with the consent of the court. It looks as though his sentence would bo commuted, but if he is hanged, a weight will have to be fastened to him to got results. A hearing will be given November 5 to parties who have peti tioned the governor for commutation of his acnteneo. phy, of New Orleans, a momber of the staff of tho governor of Louisiana.

Vaughn in her lecture at the armory this afternoon gave many valuable hints in regard to the proper diet for growing children. Mrs. Vaughn is the proud mother of five, about the best looking, most robust boys and girls in tho state of Tennessee. They are evidence enough to show that Mrs. Vaughn knows whereof she speaks in the matter of child feeding. In her lecture today Mrs. Vaughn ex plained the characteristics of children, and it was very easy to see that hers is not all book knowledge; that she speaks out of a wide and interesting experi ence. She believes that food has its effect upon the minds and morals of children as well as upon their bodies. Sho says there can be no satisfactory mental growth and moral development without strong bodies, and that children must have proper nourishment to have strong bodies. She Bays that many a case of nervousness in small children, as well as boys and girls well along in school, is merely the result of improper diet, and that if mothers would study this matter thoroughly and intelligent ly, they would help their cons and daughters materially in their school work. Usefulness of Flreless Cooker. In her demonstration of the firoless cooker this afternoon, Mrs. Vaughn proved that it is a very valuable addi tion to the furniture of any kitchen. She says the initial cost, of a really good one is a little high, but it will re turn its money value in a very Bhort time in the saving of fuol. This im portant item is not the best point in favor of the fireless cookor. It is also a grant saver of enorgy and worry, Tho woman who ownB a firoless cookor noed not feel tiod down to her household du ties. She enn prepare her dinnor and put it all in the firoless cooker and then go awny and dovote her time and her thoughts to anything sho chooses, without a single worry os to her dinner being burned, or not being ready when the time comos to serve it. Mrs. Vaughn proved, too, that tho fireless cookor has many uses, and proved It In a manner which highly pleased her au dience. Mrs. Vaughn gave away auothcr cake today and everybody claimed it was tho prottiest one she had made this week. It was covorcd with roses so beautiful nnd natural looking, that they would have deceived even tho bees which once nolped Solomon out of a di lemma, especially as theso roues were not only fragrant', but sweet as honey, and just as good to cat. Mrs. Vaughn is making cake-baking Tery popular in Salem by her lessons in this useful art, She is showing how to make inexpen sive rakes that are rich and delicious, as well as some that are expensive, the rec!es of which are valued by Salem housewives, for sjecial reasons. Household Economics Tomorrow. Mrs. Vaughn will explain just what sho means by the right sort of economy in her lecture tomorrow afternoon in Tho Capital Journal Cooking School. She will demonstrate this in her menu wilh tho exception of one item, which is the Japanese Fruit Cake, This Mrs Vaughn says is not an evonomii nl cake but it is one of the finest recipes she had, and she feels, that it would not be doing justice to her Sulom audience, if she did not show them how to make this cake, and give them the oportun ity of sampling its richness. The entire menu will consist ofi Chickeo a la King In Timbale Molds and Bread Canes Cucumber Aspic Beaton Biscuit Mikado Cake Everybody SALEM, OEEaON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1913.
