Moity ^nad been ^ixijfht by police since tVvfe finding t>f the bodies of Mrs. Theresa Moity, and his brother Joseph's wife, Mrs. Ia;onide Lee Moity, in trunks in their home here on Thursday. ICdward J. Smith, chief of 'detectives, who brought Moity back, said' that he had confessed and charged his brother Joseph, now under arrest in connection with the case, with being implicated in the crime, but declared that a sailor named Oakson or Erickson had done the actual slaying and butchering. "I helped put them in trunks but I swear I had'nothing to do with killing my wife and sister-in-law and I cutting them up," Moity declared. "The sailor Oakson did that. He made me try to clean the place up. I was afraid of him. "Yes, I bought the cane knife. I had met Oakson a day or so before and we had been drinking the night the two women were murdered. I told him of suspecting my wife and sistef-in-law of playing around witn other men. "If 1. had a wife like them, I would bumj) them off," Henry Moity said the sailor told him. "I saw the sailor coming out from beneath my wife's bed with the knife. "He soaked my wife a few licks with it and then went into the room where Joe's wife was and hit6 her.j He told me to help cut them up and! help put them in trunks. But I wouldn't cut them up." Moity explained that when he and the red-haired sailor came into his wife's apartment after drinking the women were not there and that the sailor seereted himself beneath the bed to allow the women to fall asleep without having their suspicions aroused.

Fierce Struggle on River St. Paul, Oct. 2if.?An eagle wiAi m wiitg *|>reu(i on ninety-one inches swooped down to prey on a pair of ducks Kail ^hristianson of Minneapolis had shot while hunting at Kile river. Mr- Christiansen brought the huge bird back with him. The eagle, of /which only a few have been seen in Minnesota for years,' weighed nearly twenty-five pounds, and gave Mr. Christiansen a fierce struggle before it was killed. In the fight, it seized his shotgun barrel in its beak. With his father, H. C. Christianson, the hunter lay in wait in a Clump of weeds on the river bank at Elk river. All through the morning they had shot two mallards, which they had tied to sticks and used as decoys, "The water there was just about six inches deep and the two mallards were just winged and were swimming around," Mr. Christianson related. "When this eagle came along he was flying high and looked like a hawk. When he got over us he flew around in u circle and suddenly swooped. "I could see he was making for those mallards swimming around in front of us and 1 aimed, waiting to see what he would do. t didn't want to shoot him unless I had to. "When he was within a few inches of the water he pounced on one of the ducks and * I fired. The shot just winged him, because , he flopped around with the duck in his talons." The hunters dashed into the water and the eagle flew at them, grabbing the son's gun barrel in its beak. Not wanting to ruin the bird with a load of buckshot, Mr. Christianson pushed it into the water and after a struggle lasting minutes drowned it. Although the eagle is a protected bird in Minnesota, J. F. Gould, State game and fish commissioner, declared the shooting of the eagle "justifiable." "Whenever protected game damages property, he said,, "killing it is not considered a violation of the i?l?w. Jhe ducks in this case were the huifter's property and' he had a right to prevent the depredation." ^ T ?? W. E.
