CAMPBELL ADMITS 'KILLING FOR MONEY ; Bigamist, Confessing Crime, . ‘Says He Tried to “Keep Up Appearances.” By the Associated Press. ELIZABETH, N. J, April 12—The past life of a bigamist and narcotic addict driven to kill one of his wives in & desperate attempt to “keep up appear- ances” before another, was revealed yes- terday in the preparation of grand jury evidence aganst Henry Colin Campbell. His arrest solved the slaying of Mrs. Mildred Mowry Campbell, whose body was found drenched with gasoline and aflame beside a road near Cranford on February 23. Campbell, 60 years old, mild of man- mer and whitehaired, told Prosecutor A. J. David of Union County, that in order to enable himself to pay off installments on a $25000 home, he married the ‘widowed Mrs. Mowry, & nurse of Green- wille, Pa., for the money she had. It developed that her savings totaled only $1,000. Having deposited the sum in a ; doint account, she insisted her husband | provide the home he promised her. Campbell, in confessing the crime, ! said that after having driven aimlessly | from roadhouse to roadhouse through New Jersey, he fired a bullet through | his bride’s head at dawn while she dozed i beside him in the automobile. After throwing out the body and setting it afire, he went homé to his wife and three children in Westfield. Had to Give Up Home, ‘The victim’s $1,000, however, did little %o pay for his home, and several days after the slaying, Campbell had to give it up and move to an apartment in Elizabeth with his family. Campbell resided formerly in Salisbury and Bal- timore, Md., and negotiations to ex- change property he owned there for the l | | Westfield house helped the police to | trace his movements after the body of | Mre. Mowry had been identified by res- Ydents of Greenville. | . Campbell told David he took a nar- eotic habitually to still the pain of a «chronic ailment, He said he had mar- “ried four times, twice bigamously. He mmarried first in the West about 20 years ago, his wife dying shortly afterward. A ' woman he married in Omaha, Neb., in 1910, gained an annulment when she learned her husband had in the mean- . time married Rosaline McReady of Chi- cago, the present Mrs. Campbell, his confession said. ‘Wife Ignorant of Duplicity. Mrs. Campbell told the prosecutor to- day that she and Campbell had remar- ried after the other woman’s marriage ‘was annulled. Their children are two girls, 14 and 15, and a boy, 3 years old. ‘Mrs. Campbell was questioned by David, who said she had no knowledge of her husband’s duplicity and crime. David, and Prosecutor F. L. Bergen of | Somerset County, abandoned the theory that Campbell might have been respon- sible for the killing of Miss Margaret Brown near Bernardsviile a year before Mrs. Mowry met death. Miss Brown, a 40-year-old governess, was beaten unconscious and set afire in Bernardsville, about 15 miles from Cran- ford, under circumstances similar to those surrounding Mrs. Mowry’s death. ‘The prisoner told the authorities he N. ‘was at home that day, and his wife corroborated him.

Mose Reichgut, 63-year-old merchant, ‘who was rendered unconscious last night by a blow on the head that may prove fatal, regained his faculties at Emer- gency Hospital this morning - long enough to tell how an unidentified col- ored man pretended he wanted to buy a shirt, then waited until the elderly storekeeper stooped to wrap it up and hit him from behind. It probably was an hour later when Frank B. Epweiser, a friend of Rcich- gut, went to visit him and found him sprawled on the floor of his store, 1508 Seventh street. He summoned police and the second precinct patrol, in which the injured man was removed to the hospital. Reichgut had $30 in his pocket at the time he was attacked and there was some odd ‘change in the cash drawer, he said this morning, but the money was not taken. A later check of the stock showed that two topcoats were missing, however, and it is though@the man was frightened away before he could make a thorough search for loot. Although the victim declares he saw only one man enter his store, neighbors told police that two colored men were seen to leave the store around 8 o'clock, carrying a quantity of clothing over their arms. Lieut. Edward J. Kelly of the homi- cide squad is investigating. The vic- tim, who is to undergo X-ray examina- tion to determine if he has a fractured skull, was able to furnish police a de- scription of his assailant. He could not say what kind of weapon he was struck with.

Mr. Fitzsimmons was crossing Eleventh street between F and G streets when the accident occurred.

MPHERSON CASE - FILES: SEARCHED Hardy Counsel to Cross-Ex- amine Woman Who Says Judge Aided Defense. By the Associated Press. SACRAMENTO, (Calif,, April 13.—The defense in the impeachment trial of Superior Judge Carlos 8. Hardy today delved into old court records in an at- tempt to find evidence to counteract the direct accusation of Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman-Sielaff that the jurist helped to fabricate a defense of Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson’s kidnaping story. Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff, who was lo- cated recently in Seattle, testified yes- terday that she was “positive” that Mrs. McPherson's story of her disappearance was false; that both the evangelist and her. mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, had admitted as much ,and that they had confessed that the evangelist really was with Kenneth G. Ormiston at Carmel, Calif., during the time she says she was being held by kidnapers in Mexico. Documents Sent For. Attorneys for the jurist, who is ac- cused of illegally acting as Mrs. Mc- Pherson’s attorney and of obstructing Justice by attempting to clear her of conspiracy charges growing out of the kidnaping story, announced that they had sent to Los Angeles for documents showing that Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff at one time was an inmate of an insane asylum at Provo, Utah. Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff testified that she arranged with Judge Hardy to pro- duce “Miss X,” the woman who oc- cupied a Carmel house in 1926, while Mrs. McPherson was missing from. her Angelus Temple. “Miss X" never has been identified. Time Asked of Court. Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff was turned over to the defense for questioning yester- day, but Judge Hardy's attorneys ask- ed that they be allowed until Monday to cross-examine so they might obtain records of her former testimony and records indicating she had been sent to the asylum.
