The little girl's body was found last night on the ice-covered banks of Neshaminy Creek, near Croydon, af- ter Morgan had led the detectives to the spot. The prisoner ‘will be arraigned be- fore a magistrate in the day charged with murder, kidnapping and feloni- ous assault. Director of Public Safety Cortelyou said that his trial would be rushed and that indictments would be asked of the grand jury within a day or two. t Makes Confession |~ Morgan made a lengthly signed | statement, the police said, setting forth in detail had he had lured Lil- {llan and her sister Dorothy, four, from their home on the pretext of taking them for an automobile ride, how he had taken them to a vacant lot, how: the older girl had died during an attack and how he had taken her body to the isolated spot 20 miles north of Philadelphia in the hope that it would not be discovered. i After laying Lillian's body along |the bank of the stream he told the police that he had returned to the city with Dorothy and put her out of | the car within a few blocks of her home. Morgan, who was said formerly to have llved at Maud, Texas, confessed after 36 hours of grilling and after he had been identified the second time by Dorothy Gilmore. A few min- utes later he was guiding the police to the spot where he had hidden Lillian's body. { Pathetic Scenes There was a pathetic scene as.the | hearse bearing the body drew up in | front of the Gilmore home last night. The child was a favorite in the neigh- | | borhood and it nppenre_d that all her friends and acquaintances were at the | | ouse. Most of them were in tears. | | Inside Mr, and Mrs. R. Gilmore, the | parents, sat with their other five chil- dren and 4 number of friends who i had been with them almost constant- {1y since the ehildren disappekred. As the cofiin was carried into the house | the mother collapsed. | "1 am glad they found her,"” Mrs. Gilmore said later. “It would have | been terrible to think that my little | one was glive, some place, perhaps| in need of help which we would be unable to give her. When Dorothy | came home and gaid that Lillian had been left on the ice and was dead, we feared the worst, but still had hopes that ehe would be found alive.” FIRE ON FRANCIS STREET.
