COLLINS GIKI, ADMITS
MOTH Kit Hill SIKMITIM.
First Story Desperate Kffoil to
Shieid Parent. She Says. Hut As
sault Story Trie.
iMorganton, Jan. 18. A night's
meditation over her "confession" yes
terday afternoon that she killed
Uray Smith in defense of her honor
evidently caused Mary Collins to de
cide to tel! the whole truth about
the affair, and early this morning,
having sent for Solicitor Huffman,
she admitted to him that the first
story was told in a desperate effort
to shield her mother, .Sirs. Rosalie
Oollina, ,who she now says shot her
cousin.
'Mrs. Collins, who is also in jail,
has not been allowed to converse with
her daughter, and although she knows
cf Mary's taking all the blame upon
herself in the story she told jiester
day, she does not lnow the nirri"iMf
the affair has taken today, and still
maintains her own innocence.
Mary Collin's story today is that
when her mother, brother and uncle
left for G en Alpine soon after din
ner on the day of the tragedy, she
and Irene had started to the field to
continue fodder pulling. With, "Wait
a few minutes," Uray Smith had de
tained her while his sister went on
to the field. Possibly thinking all the
other members of the family were
safsly out of the way, after closing
and atching the door, he began mak
ing improper proposals to her, she
says. When she refused to accede to
his wishes he tried to force her. She
declared that it was then that she
cut. him. hav ng succeeded in geltin;
hold of his knife. Whether attracted
by the- girl's cries ov possibly led
back by a mother's intuition, Mrs.
Collins returned. Mary says she saw
her pass the window, and said, "there
comes mania." lBy that time here
mother was kicking on the door and
Uray released hef to go and unlatch
'he door. She ran away and did not
sec tne Kit ing. sue neura me sum,
and when she looked back as she was
nearing the ft; Id she saw her mother
running toward the straw stack
where the gun was later found.
Accounting for the blood on the
shirt, she says that when she cut
Urav he crabbed ihe old shirt to
staunch the blow of blood, and was
holding it to his throat whin her
mother came back.
