M’DOWELL BELIEVED PRETENDING INSANITY Confessed - Slayer of Pn;ents and Sisters Said to Have Taken $10,000 Insurance on Father. By the Associated Pres ST. PETERSBU . February 22.—Frank McDowell, ningteen years old, confessed slayer of his mother, father and two sisters, is not believed to be insane, prosecufion officers de- clared here today. To back up this claim, vfficers that they have witnesses who will testify that the | vouth is simulating insanity. b The prosecution claims that the real motive behind the death of his par- ents was the collection of a $10,000 double _indemnity 2 whioh Frank, acting as an insurance agent, was said to have underwritten | for his father during January last. 1 i | ! McDowell's sisters were burned to death on February 19, 1923, when their home was partially destroyed by fire at Decatur, Ga. The origin of the fire was declared 0 be incendiary. Officers here believe that the youth ‘confessed to having committed this deed to aid his plea of insanity in the case of murder of his parents. The youth, in making his confession, | stated that he was prompted to wipe out his family because of an “unpar- donable sin” he claimed to have com- mitted when thirteen years of age. His mother and father were slain last Tuesday night, one year after his sis- ters met their tragic death. SEES BONUS PASSED OVER COOLIDGE VETO .

Secretary Mellon sald it would cost $4,500,; 000,000, Both are wrong,” Senator Copeland sald. “Paying the former service men cash, it would cost the country $100,000,000 the first vear and the entire amount would be paid off In sixty years in ever-decreasing amounts. “Why, the interest on the money Great Britain owes us would more than pay the bonus. 3 “Seventy of the ninety-six sena- tors are ready for the bonus.” We can pass it and pass it again over insurance policy, | on for the re- !
