Then Confessed the Crime James McMahon Ushy confessed that be murdered hi sisters. Mis ltiwe McMahon aud Mrs. A!nzan l!oyen and the latter husband, Al ouzo Van It, 'Ten, on a farm near Kansas City. Kan , last Tuesday. A long standing family quarrel caused the tragedy. McMahon killed Van Itnyen in a wood and later went to the Van I toyed borne and shot Lis sisters. Fearing mob violence by a throng that gathered about the county jail after the confession became known. the sheriff rushed the murderer and his brother. Pal rick McMahon. and Patrick Urab, a farm band, who art held as witnesses, to the penitentiary at lousing tonight in automobiles. McMahons inability to keep his secret caused his arrest II" lold a friefid today where he had hidden a revolver with which he did the kill ing, and several articles he took from the Van Koren home. As Sheriff Hecker was preparing to arrest James McMahon. the latter walked into bisollice and announced he was ready to help work on the case as he has been doing each day since the tragedy. Sheriff flecker immediately arrest ed him. Prosecutor Taccart and Sheriff Hecker sweated MuMahon for two hours. Then McMahon confess ed all. Yes, 1 killed my two sisters and brother-in-law, and I was crazy when I did it." he shouted, risiug out of his chair and pacing the room. "It took me three months to plan and execute the crime. I waited until I knew my intended victims would be in the right positions for me to kill them and get away. On Tuesday Rose went to visit at an Koyen s, and Lon went to the woods. I found him and shot him in the head. Id fell and I fired six shots into his back. I always hated him. "Then 1 walked into the house and found my sister. My first shot probably killed Mrs. an Uoyen a she sat on a chair. She screamed and fell. Rosa started up to speak to me. and I shot her down. With the two women virtually drad. I was free to take my time. 1 fired two more shots into the body of Mrs. Van Koyen and live more into Rose s bod v. 1 did not hurry awav. I was not unduly excited. It was the culmination of my only thouizhts for mouths. '1 searched the house and found some rings and other valuables. I took all of them and my revolver and hid them in a corn shock. Liter it dawned on me that I had committed a crime. I tried lo keep it a secret But hour by hour something told me that I must tell all. Tonight 1 11 sleep in peace." The confessed murderer had oecn severely cross questioned by the po lice many times since tho murders, but he skillfully extricated himself from the few compromising positions into which he had stepped. He was taken at one time to the scene of the murders and forced at midnight un der the glare of a llashlight to re hearse Lis story, lie did it unllinch ingly, swearing he knew nothing of the crimo. l-ater he offered ?

The quarrel between the V an Roy- ens and tne violations is saiu io have started over the desiro of the senior Mrs. McMahon to give part of her Dronertf to tan Royen.

There is a force of engineers on the road between Cheraw and Socie ty Hill laying out the best route for a perfect road along that way. There has been about twenty-nve nunarca dollars to be spent on this road and it is going to turn things from the worst road in the county into one of the very best. Quite a large part of this money was raised in Darlington county and I rather think that this is only the second example on rec ord of one people in one county rais ing money to be spent on the roads in another county: the other case being where the people of Cheraw raised money to help build the road across the low grounds ol Marlboro This success in raising funds has been accomplished through the efloh of. the committee appointed by the board of trade of Cheraw about six months airo. There is just no tell ing what can be accomplished by th-! people of a town or county when they make up their minds to do it and are united. Cheraw has deter mined to have as good roads leading into her as any town in thetwoCaro linas, and we are not only going to give our visiting friends a warm welcome when they get here but we are coins to make it easy for them to come to see us, and after they get here try our best to make them glad they came.

I have delayed action in this matter only until the facts as to the extent of the disease could bo verified and tho effective ness of its cure and prevention demonstrated. v."The wide distribution and the serious effects of this malady, par ticularly in the rural districts of our Southern States, first pointed out by Dr. Wardell Stiles, of the V S.

"Knowing your interest in all that pertains to the well being of your fellow men and your acquaintance with the subject, I have invited you to a conference in the hope that it may lead to the adoption of well con sidered plans fur a co-operative movement of tho medical profession, public health cllicers, boards of trade, churches, schools, the press and other agencies for the cure aud prevention of this disease-. If you deem it wise to uniiertaKe tho commission 1 shall be glad to be permitted to work with you to that end and you may call upon me imm time to time for such sums need ed during the next five years for car rying on an aggressive campaign, up to a total of one million dollars. While it would be a privilege to act in afty movement which t llors as surance of relieving human suffer- inc. it is a particular pleasure to me to feel that the principal activities of your board will be among the people of the Southern States.
