I never at any time made any improper proposals to Mrs. Orr. I had made up my mind to get ellen with the Ores for things they said and JAMES ALLISON, did to me. That morning I got mad because they would not let me go to Niagara Falls, After breakfast I left my loaded gun in the woodshed. I did' some chores. Mrs. Orr was rnilking about 20 feet from the . woodshed. I went into it and fired at her through the, door. She fell off her seat and never moved again.

I had the grave in the swamp ready some days before, but it was too far off, so in a hurry I made the grave in the corn patch and drag- ged her to it by the hands and buried her.

While attending services at the Salvation Army Barracks this morning he was taken with an attack to which he has been subject since the conviction of his son. He became violent and was taken home where he is now resting easier. Allison's condition is due to his son's confession, which wasrllade known to him shortly after its publica- tion. When told that James had con- fessed he refused to believe it saying that his son would have to tell him so himself. The mother still says the boy is innocent.
