Evansville, Ind., Aug. 9.—Willle Deffondoll, 17, held with his brother, Dolly 22, for the murder of thelr 70-year-old mother, Mrs. Martha Deffendoll, has confessed, to officials at Boonville that he sbot and killed ner. According to the story which Wil- lie told Coroner Kriekhause, he and his mother, were walking thrcugh the woods _in search of some squirrels when the hammer of his gun struck against a tree and discharged a shot through his mother’s back. Mrs. Deffendoll, wounded, fell dowrr on her side. Then she turned over dn her face, according to the story drawn by Willie. “I didn’t want her to suffer,” Wil- lig said,.“so I up and shot her again. That didn't kill her, so I shot her agaip in the neck.” ‘Wilile hurried to his home and then took refuge in Brownville. He set the date of the shooting as Fri- day, July 22, and said that it oc- curred at 8 o'clock in the morning. According to Willie's confession he had had an argument With - his mother on the day before the shoot- mg because he had returned from Boonville without a job. “She fussed at me,” he said simply. Willie’s confession clears up the mystery as to who shot Mrs. Deffen- dell, but his accident version of the shooting is not given much credence by officials at Boonviile. The body of Mrs. Deffendoll with the lhead severed was found in thel woods near her farm home, 15 miles| from Boonville, last week. William | and Dolly, sons of the aged’ woman, were placed under arrest immediate- ly after the finding of the body.

The statement attributed to Dr. Crafts was that he had the support of the chairman and the Republican party in the fight on the boxing law in New Jersey. Craft's use of my name and o lace FOR $1.00 Bath Sets consisting of two Turkish Towels and a Wash Cloth, worth $1:50 that of the Republican party in his Sunday statement is not only without authority but contrary to the explici instructions I gave him in an inter- view which he himself solicited,” said Mr. Stokes. “No one has authority to speak for the Republican party on this subject So far as I am personally concerned I prefer to speak for myself and give my position to the people of the State directly and not ‘through a third party.” Stokes said that the question of box- ing and such matters should be civic ones and not political.

It’s the best packing science has devised to keep cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste. Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside and the revenue stamp over the.end to seal the pack- age and keep it air-tight. And note this! There’s nothing flashy about the Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense that must come out of the quality of the tobacco. Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on merit alone. Because, men smoke Camels who want the taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly blended.
