Insanity to Be Plea
of George A. Conger
TACOMA, May 20.—(/P)—Mrs.
Mollle Conger, wife of George A. Con
ger, who slew Robert S. Heale, Ta
coma contractor, as a climax of a love
triangle of years standing, bared the
story of her life and detailed the
events leading up to the tragedy.
A second development in the case
came with the announcement by At
torney Wesley Lloyd that Conger will
plead temporary insanity when he fac
es trial next month in superior court
on a charge of first degree murder.
Mrs. Conger, in breaking her si
lence said that she would take the
stand to testify in her husband’s
defense.
She also declared that she and her
husband had been reconciled since he
gave himself up to the police.
Traces Her Life.
She traced the history of her life,
telling of her schooldays in Tacoma
and her original acquaintance with
both of the principals in the tragedy.
Her account, which was simple and
unmarked by emotional displayed or
outbreaks, led up to the tragic mo
ment shortly before dawn in the poor
ly furnished room on Fifth street
when she was forced to choose be
tween her husband and Heale.
She chose Heale, and a moment af
ter he lay dying with three bullets
from Conger’s .45 automatic in his
body.
Her first thougnt in the excitement
was of the man she loved and Heale
expired 20 minutes later w'ith the en
dearing words of Conger’s estranged
wife ringing in his ears.
“I first met George,” she said, re
ferring to Conger, “when I was 12
years old. He used to come to the
house to see my older sister. It was
not until I was 14 years old that I be
gan going with George and we were
married a year later, w'hen I was 15.
He was 21 and was working as a clerk
in the offices of the Northern Pacific.”
Caused Family Break.
Answering questions as to whether
her manage had caused a breach in
the family, Mrs. Conger admitted that
it had.
“My mother and George have never
been on good terms since. They rare
ly speak. But my father and George
get along all right. My folks were an
gry at me also, believing I was too
young to marry and they held that
against George, too.
“The difference between my moth
er and me did not last more than
two weeks after our marriage.
“I knew Mr. Heale when I was a
child, but I had not seen him from
the time I was ten years old until
about three years ago. He was a friend
of our family.
“The difficulties with George began
then and I got my interlocutory de
cree of divorce a year ago in January.
But I nev.er got a final decree.”
Her story refutes the statements of
Conger and Mrs. Clyde E. Tedriclc, di
vorced wife of Heale, that her affairs
with Heale had been of five or six
years’ duration. She insists that it
was not more than three years since
Heale supplanted her husband.
Went to Aberdeen.
“Several months after I got my de
cree I joined George in Aberdeen,
where he was stationed as an inspec
tor in the service,” she continued.
“Mr. Heale often telephoned me
there and wanted me to come to him.”
“Then when George was transfer
red to Bellingham I came to Tacoma.
I went to live with my mother for a
time and then moved to the house on
Fifth street, but did not tell George.”
Again asked concerning the charges
of the prosecutor that Heale had prac
tically lived at the Fifth street house
where Mrs. Conger and the boys
stayed, Mrs. Conger replied:
“He did spend much time there but
my sister was there with us.”
There has been found in St. Louis
a lady who never, never listens to
gossip. You guessed it—she was
born deaf.
When the driver in front holds out
his hand, you should lose no time in
making your guess as to what he
means.
Correct this sentence: “I keep
my troubles to myself, but am al
ways glad to listen to those of other
people.”
A long sentence expressed in a
short sentence—“Life.”

ESCAPED MURDERERS
SUSPECTED OF HAVING
, ROBBED MAIN STAGE
NEVADA CITY, Cal,, May 20.—(ff)
—Two men believed to be Joe Tanko
and Floyd Hall, escaped murderers
from San Quentin prison, today held
up the United States mail stage
between No. Bloomfield and Granite
ville. They drove the machine at
high speed thru the mountains, pass
ed thru Nevada City and Grass Val
ley and abandoned the car On the
road.
Sheriffs of four counties—Sacra- j
mento, Placer, Nevada and Sierra—!
had posses searching the mountains
within an hour after the stage was
held up, but at lioon had not located
them.
The stage driver said the men re
sembled pictures of the convicts
which he has seen in newspapers.
American Gold in France
Arouses German Envy!
GERMANY WANTS FOREIGN COIN
TO HELP LESSEN HER
REPARATIONS.
BERLIN, May 19.—(JP)—German
hotelkeepers in the smaller resort
centers would like to have it known
among tourists that they have lower
ed their rates. The country needs
foreign money to help keep exchange
at par and to lessen the burden of
reparation payments, and the gold
left behind by foreign visitors helps
to this end. Hence rates at many
hotels have been reduced, and pub
lishd tariffs have been issued which
make it possible for touring compa
nies to resume business in Germany
on much the same basis that they
worked before the war.
Visa rates on American passports
also are lower, and the tax on for
eigners has been removed in prac
tically all German cities. There have
also been changes in police regula
tions which make it unnecessary for
travelers to appear personally be
fore police officials to register.
Railway rates are high in compari
son with many European countries,
but there has been a decided im
provement of the service. Taxicabs
and the hire of motor cars still are
relatively expensive.
Generally speaking, however, th#
foreign traveler is now welcome ia.
Germany, and has little dificulty in
making his way around in comfort,
even without knowledge of the lan
guage. Sight-seeing autos are oper
ating in all important centers an4
travel bureaus have guides availabl*
and are ready to provide rooms and
meals at whatever prices tourist*
want to pay.
Announcement in German news
papers that 135,000 Americans visit
ed France la3t year and are suppos
ed to have spent over $200,000,00#
in that country, hare attracted wide
attention and provoked much com
ment about the desirability of get
ting more of these Americans t*
come to Germany.
Any disarmament plans our states
men may have in mind might be giv
en a try-out in Chicago or Memphis.
Running a soda pop and peanut
stand should give one an excellent
knowledge of lower mathematics.

Prosperity I

honest co-operation between all elements that in |

So it is with Alaska. No one section of this 5

Co-operation; and Co-operation means Prosperity. |
It is the constant aim of The Alaska Railroad |
