There is no question of the guilt of 'William Albert Rich, held in Cleve land as the slayer of 0. K. and Rob ert Slefken May 20. 1922, according to stard received Sunday night from County Attorney Henry Beal and De tective William Gurnett, who are In Cleveland to escort Rich back to Omaha. The detective and the county attor ney questioned Rich Sunday and de clare that his statements agree in every detail with those brought out at the coroner's inquest. He told the story In a straightforward manner, the officers said, and expressed will ingness to return to Omaha and stand trial. "I did it and I'll take my medicine,” Rich told the officers. ‘‘I can’t plead guilty, but I won't put any obstacles in the way of the man who prose cutes me. fired for Own Safety. "There wasn’t any chance to get out of the filling station before l shot the man and boy. I might have made a break to get away, and have taken some chances running down the street, but I was just out of the pen and 1 sure didn't have any notion of going back. If there was to be a next time I wouldn't shoot—I'd try to run for It.” Rich also confessed to having robbed the restaurant opposite the Omaha Union depot a short time after the night of the fatal shooting. He de clared that his partner in that rob bery was Jimmy Reed, Sioux City. Reed was killed last December by a policeman in Chicago. Reed yvas surprised while robbing a wholesale house in Chicago by two officers. He dropped from a window Just as one of the officers turned the corner of the building. This man Reed shot and killed Instantly. Then he turned to escape and was con fronted by a companion officer of the man whom he had just shot The other officer shot and killed Reed. Two men who were with Reed at the time made their escape. Blames Pal* for Downfall. Rich declared to the officers that he had always associated with men of the caliber of Reed. The man with whom Rich was arrested In Cleveland is said to have attempted to kill the arresting officer at the time uf liis ar rest. Kicli foughl "like a wild cal," the officers declare, and It was not until after he had been locked In a cell at the police station that he was peaceful. Rich will be indicted iy Cleveland for burglary and then will be released on his own bond so he can lie returned here to stand trial for the murder. The indictments are to be brought against him so that in case he is freed of the charge here he can be returned at once to Cleveland to stnnd triad on burglary charges. Jfe faces life imprisonment In Ohio. Real and Gurnett do not know when they wjll start to Omaha with Rich but believe they can have him here by Saturday. The wall of silence with which Rich surrounded himself was broken when Cleveland police showed h^m a cir cular describing the crimer and the man wanted. Now he talks willingly. "I think that he really feels bet ter. now that he has made a con fession,” Gurnett declared. "When we ask him anything about the crime he answers promptly and his answers check perfectly with the data that we were able to obtain at the time of the murder." Waited Days for Robbery. Rich has told the officers, according to the report, that he waited for se v eral dayH for the opportunity to rob the station. He declares that he was the man who followed Miss Bueia Kulakofsky from downtown on ttie night of the shooting. "There had been two men In the filling station the nights that I watched," Rich declared. "That made a holdup hard to pull and I had to lay low. "I saw the woman with a big 'rock' and thought that it would be an easy Job and give me a little cash to go on for a while. When someone left the oil station and began to walk along with her I saw that Job was up and stopped to look over the station. "Then I saw that the boy was all alone and decided tha(t It would be a good time to pull the job. I didn't hear a car come up and don’t remem ber anybody chasins me after the shooting. 1 was pretty excited at the time and wanted to get away.” Rev.

Athens, March 12.—(Ar)—It is esti mated that 150 Greek naval officers and men were drowned Saturday when the Greek transport Alexander, foun dered during the fierce gale between Salamis and Piraeus. The transport had on hoard 250 officers and men. • ti the voyage from the Greek cruisers Georgle, Savaroff, Kilkis and Lem nos. Luring the voyage, a fierce gale was encountered. Three huge waves struck the Alexunder. which turned over. An explosion of the boilers fol lowed and the ship foundered. .Many crafts hastened to the res cue. but a majority of those on board the transport were lost, owing to the smaller vessels being unable to get through the high seas. A public funeral was held at 8a I am Is yesterday. There was some confusion Saturday night in dispatches from London and Athens regarding the Greek naval disaster. One London dispatch decrib cd the vessel sunk as a tugboat, while the Athens message said it was a small steamer with 400 persons on board. Both dispatches, however, said about 200 persons had been lost and the others on board were saved with difficulty. Attempt Is Made to Save Osterman Telephone Bill Lincoln, March 12.—tHpeciai.)—Be publican members of the house were planning last night to attempt to put the Osterman bill on general file over a recommendation by the judici ary committee to indefinitely post pone it.

"SHAKE HANDS WITH HEALTH EVERY DAY’ ^American mother does not know how to take care of her children unless she teaches them to eat prunes regularly” That is the simple, but startHng, conclusion reached by a famous health writer. Why are prunes so essential to the well being of every child? Because prunes —and especially Sunsweet Prunes — contain more digestible natural fruit sugar than any other fruit. That means energy — for study and play. They are rich in tonic iron and other mineral and “vitamine” elements. That means strength—greater resistance to disease. And, more important than all— Sunsweet Prunes give your children a natural corrective—a laxative from Nature's own pharmacy—a laxative that they like!
