Jted Herrley, W years old. murdered
Jfra. Ann. Morris at hit horn, 2001
North Twentieth street, by thootlnc her
in the breast with a ,44-caJlber revolver.
She) waa 44 years old and the divorced
Brlte of Patrolman Bemuel Morris, who
eoured, a legal separation last May.
Mrs, Morris, despondent because her
children left her, often visited with
Herrley, whose wife is dead, and the
visits were Just as often returned. An
attachment had evidently developed be
tween the two, and It was while Mrs.
Morris was at Herrley't home Tuesday
Jiicht than he tragedy occurred.
Though the deed was committed some
time before midnight It did not become
known until about T o'clock Wednesday
rtnornlng, when Fred H. Herrley, son of
4he murderer, went to plead with his
father to return to his work with the
Omaha street railway company. It was
than that the father In a state of strange
feyaterla took his son Into a room and
pointed to the dead body of the woman
pn thm floor. The son then notified the
fcoiice and Herrley was arrested.
Xfarderer Makes (Aafesalon.
Whan asked by a reporter why he had
kSla4 the woman, Herrley said: "I met
Sfra, Morris about five years ago, when
aha and her children were almost starving
la flat at 20u3 North Twentieth street.
Z bad Bo wife and was making a good
living, so I gave her some money and
told her to get something to eat for her
aelf and children. Well I did this for
earns time and became attached to her.
About three years ago I rented a small
flat at 72Q North Sixteenth street and
turnlahed, Jt for her.
'"Mxa. Morris and I became very
friendly and often visited anch other.
Sometimes I would go to aee her at her
flat and she would also come to visit me.
Xaat night she came to my place and rat
outside talking with friends. I called her
Into the house and she came. Wa had a
long chat and from appearances she had
been drinking. During our talk slio be
came despondent. Sho asked me to kill
her and I would not do It Then she be
came angry and told me if I did not kill
her aha would kill me. Well, it was a
ease of aelf-defenie, to I plugged her."
Believe Ha la Demented.
During his talk Mr. Herrley would, ptep
often to think of what lie wanted vo say.
The police are of tha belief that the old
man la either a heavy drlnkir or ele he
la unbalanced. His appearance and tuk
would bear out to tome ex. em that the
latter case would be thn logical on.
A thorough investigation of tha eat It
Jbelna made by detectives and by Cap
tain of Detectives Savage. Mr. Savage Is
of tha belief that the man la demented.
From what has been learned not a per
son heard the shootinng. The police 'have
learned that two shota were fired. The
first one, according to tha murdered,
truck tha woman in the breast and the
second one went through the door and
entered tha hall opposite.
Tha body was taken In charge by tha
Coroner and an Inquest will probably be
bald Thursday afternoon.

The brave rescuer upon taking the lad
safsly out of danger brushed off his
clothing, wiped the blood from his arm
where the mud guard of the machine had
struck him. and walked calmly to the
Millard hotel, anxiously avoiding ths
crowd which was bent upon reminding
him that he waa a hero.
Wee Crossing- Street.
Toung Walsh had Just stepped from the
Brandels store and attempted to cross
the street to the Fry shoe store, falling
to notice the heavy touring car approach
ing. The chauffeur turned the corner
suddenly and the lad stood within a few
feet of the oncoming machine. Scores of
people held their breaths, expecting to
see the lifeless form of the lad hurled to
the pavement, when McClellan rushed
from the sidewalk and shoved the lad
out of the automobile's path. At he
moved the mud guard struck him on ths
arm, knocking him to the grounJ. He
waa not seriously Injured, and as soon a
he regained his feet he disappeared, re
fusing to tell even his name. An. employe
of the Millard who witnessed the Incident
recognised him and announced his iden
tity. The driver of the auto did not stop
to see what damage had been done.

A Broom is a Necessity
in every household, why not have the best?
You'll have it and save money and strength
if you get a broom that outlasts any ordin
ary broom two to one, and sweeps easier
LITTII POILY
The broom corn is
selected from the flower
of each season's crop
or feather - lightness,
toughness and uni
formity. The handles
are several ounces
lighter than those of
any ordinary broom,
and will not stick to your
hands because of the
improved
finish used only on the
Little Polly.
Every Little Polly is
as good as the first and
seems better than the
last. Used once you
could never get along
with any other make.
You may think now that
brooms are , all alike.
Try one Little Polly and
you'll know different.
Name On Every Broom
The name Little Polly is printed
lengthwise of the handle on every
broom. Look for it. Ask for itl
Take no other. You can't tret a
better broom for your
money, whatever you
omy to pay less.
If your grocer hasn't these broom,
write direct to us and we will tell yon
where you can get them.
