Co oS MOTHER CONFESSES KILLING DAUGHTER, ~~ ATTACKING HER SON New York Blonde implicates » Sweetheart in Attempt to Wipe Out Children ‘New York, May 18.—(#)—Police dis- ele Tuesday the full confession of | how Mrs, Helen. Tiernan. allegedly | killed with knife and fire her 7-year- Old daughter and attempted to kill | her 4-year-old son, because “there | wasn’t room enough” in her three- ‘toom apartment, for’ the comely,| blonde widow and her Greek sweet- | heart. The mother, 25, is held on a charge of homicide, while her suitor, George Christodulus, 30, is accused of acting in concert with her. The mother’s confession, made pub- lic by Assistant District Attorney Sal- vatore Consentino, accused Christo- dulus of plotting with her the deaths in a lonely thicket on Long Island's | south shore where the children were | taken on the promise of being given | @ picnic. Pacing his cell at police headquar- ters, Christodulus muttered as Mrs. Tilernan’s purported confession was read to him, “I did not. I never done that.” But her confession, as read by the assistant district attorney. said that | he suggested the crime and struck | the first of. rain of hatchet blows which brought first: blood in the grue- some tragedy. .. The body of Mrs. Tiernan’s daugh- ter, Helen, was discovered Sunday, only. a few hours after she was killed, near Brookhaven, L. I. Her throat was slashed, the head bruised, and the clothing and parts of the body burned. | Nearby was the boy, Jimmie Tier- nan, his throat cut but still alive. He is expected to recover.

Some of this money, he said, was spent uselessly and later, after pro- tests from the farmers, the govern- ment sent out a fact-finding com- mittee.

Proposed changes in the parking regulations were recommended by a committee recently appointed by Mayor Obert Olson to investigate the ee problem. They were adopted jit the commissioners with a few changes. Members of the committee were W. R. Koch, chairman, who sub- mitted the report, and F. M. Roberts, Jr. J. P. French, A. E. Brink, Fred Peterson, Archie O, Johnson, William Moeller, Alex McLean and Wilbert Field. Also contained in the proposed or- Ginance is a provision changing the downtown parking limit within a certain area from one hour to two at in within that area between the hours of 2 a. m. and 6 a, m.

Allen laid two suggestions before the commis- sioners. He that the min- imum penalty for violation of traffic laws be changed to not less than $1.00 instead of $5.00.

TOLL OF AMERICAN | LIVES LOT IN WAR ESTIMATED AT 50 30 Por Cent of U.S. Citizens in Government Armies Be- lieved Among Slain 8. Madrid, May 18 —(#)— American volunteer battalions, used continu- ally as government shock troops in the Spanish Civil war, were estimated Tuesday to have lost almost a third of their number in death. Reliable sources placed the num- ber of United States citizens killed while fighting on the government side at more than 500, or 30 per cent of the 1,700 reported to have enlisted since the conflict started just 10 months ago. A few of the volunteers were pro- fessional air pilots and technicians, and a few were soldiers of fortune, but the overwhelming majority lacked previous military experience. The largest contingent of Amer- icans in the service of the republic has been the 16th infantry, or Abra- ham Lincoln battalion, which mem- bers of the unit sald was recruited in the United States. ‘This battalion originally was com- posed of 487 men who entered Spain last December and January and went into the thick of the action on the Jarama River south of Madrid on Feb. 12. Only two weeks later, according to one member of the outfit, 147 men out of the 487 had been lost and many others incapacitated by wounds and sickness, Fifty of the slain were buried al- most where they fell near Tarancon, soldiers of the battalion said. Competent military observers es- timated 1,000 British volunteers have enlisted on the . government side and that 600 of these have been killed, 2 ‘The number of French volunteers Al to to sit but 000 of whom 3,000 have been slain, hol John Ellickson, 74, Charison, N.
