by Sirs. ('. 15. Sloon. wife of the sheriff
of Kosciusko county, lias lesulted in a
lonfessi.m from Viigil Decker, eighteen
jciiis old, in which he declares that he
alone was icspoiudblo for t lie death of
Leroy l.oett. it nincieeii-jenr-old
youth of Klkhnit, Ind., Ids "double,"
with whom he elm mined,
Decker signed the confession today
in the piescme of Sirs. Sloon, her hus

Since his nricst Tuesdav at Marion.
Ind.. on the charge of murdering I.ovett.
the Decker boy has insisted that he had
no pntt in the Ind's death. Almost
constant questioning by offiiers failed
to bring any mlniNslons from him except
he bad spent some time l'riduy and Sni
uiday. Mnicb II mid 1'-'. with I.ovett.
Yesteidny be received in n letter from
Sirs. (Seoige Walker, of Nnppanee. a
woman wholly unknown to him, a dooplj
leligioiis appeal that he "confess every
thing to the man jou huto liarnicd."
and iniiloriiig him to "lean on .lesu"."
During Ids incaiccratiun Sirs. Sloon
also has talked with him. I.ntc jester
day Decker requested a Hihle. Later
Sirs. Sloon heard him talking ns lie
walked about bis cell. She listened and
licai.l liiiu quoting the Scriptures.
"Did you (ind something to comfort
y on?" she nsked.
The bo said lie hail found something
cr. comforting.
- Decker told her he could recite many
passages of Script in c and lie told her
of inrlier dojH when he attended chinch
icgulail).
"Hut. Virgil, if j on keep on telling
lies don't you know that you w'll only
make jour case worse?" suggested Slis.
Sloon.
"Yes. I know It. but I have made my
peace wit It tioil and I'm icadj to tell
all." dclarcil the boy.
lie then gne a complete account of
his tiip from Hlkhart, hid., with I.eioj
I.oott. wh'ch started Friday niglit.
Sinn Ii 11. and which, according to the
confession, ended Saturday morning in
a summer cottage on t lie Tippecanoe
i.ver with nil attack on the I.oxett boy.
Xo motive for the attack was given,
crept the brief statement that "the
devil old me to do it and I just did i."
The attack, w'lh n heavy iron bar.
was made, according to the confession,
slioitlj befoie noon Saturday "and was
not fatal, but fearing llie consequences
thnl might result from his us-ault.
Virg'l changed some of I.oiett's dotbes
for his own. ohtuln,cd n horse nnd buggj
and drove with the injured lad to a
railroad crossing. Theie be icleascd
tin hoi se, leaving tlie buggj with I.ovett
s(nled 'ii il unconscious. cocliiig that
n tinin would yonie along, demolish the
buggj and leave a body so badlj
mangled Hint identification would be
imposible except by bits of clothing
Those bits would be thoe of the Decker
hoy's clothing and he planned to .lis
appear, leaving the impression that he
had met h'n death in tlie accident.
The buggy wns hit by n slow fieight
tin'u. however, and the body tosed
aside nnd not mutilated. Later it was
claimed hj botli Samuel I.ovett. of Hlk
I'liit, fat her of Leroy I.ovett, and mem
