Here is the complete text of Mrs. Bess Nelson's confession, as released by Oakland police authorities yesterday: "When Claude came back to Santa Crui from Oakland Tuesday morning I met him at the stage depot and we walked together to the hotel. "Claude told me, think I got I supposed he meant he killed him.

I asked him how he done It. Claude said, 'Walt until the afternoon papers come "Either Saturday or Sunday, while we were In Santa Crus, I told Claude if Harry was gone out of my life, through divorce or death, we conld live together In my home in Boyd avenue, will see what I can do, Claude said. "It must have been my suggestion that caused Claude to get Harry. "Harry told me that he 'had changed the name of the beneficiary on the life Insurance. He had told me that a number of times.

I don't know who he named In my place. FIRST TLANNINO. "While we were In Menominee, Dunn County, Wisconsin, we talked about Harry. My finances were low. I began to wonder what we could do or where we would live.

Claude said he would see about It. I did not know whether he meant to bump Harry off or ask Harry to release me so that I could marry Claude. "On June IS, Monday morning, Claude left me in the lobby In the hotel. He went up town. He returned In a short time with a package and told me to wait In the lobby, and he went to our room.

It must have been the pipe. ON WAY TO KILL. "We then had lunch together. In the afternoon Claude took the stage to Oakland. He told me he was coming to Oakland to see Harry or get him.

By get him I mean do away with him. "I don't remember whether I told him to do a good job. Claude said he would be back the first thing Tuesday morning. "If he had succeeded in killing Harry I would not have told on him. I love him too much to send him over the road.

I hope now that Harry gets weU. He will give me my freedom. Claude and I figured If Harry was out of the way we could live In the Boyd avenue house. Claude could get a Job and we could carry on the payments of $31.60." would drop from $666 monthly to married and devoted to his wife A legal fencing master called upon to defend his own life, Frank J. Egaa will make his next court appearance next Monday to plead to the charge of murdering Mrs.

Jessie Scott Hughes. What new foil he will interpose to stave off the inevitble life and death duel with the forces of Justice was not made. apparent yesterday by his attorney, Vincent W. Halllnan, but it is believed it will be a renewed demand for the Verne Doran confession. He will be joined in this demand by Attorney Nathan Coghlan, representing a third murder defendant, Albert Tinnin, also due to plead.

Coghland says he has found some legal authority for the demand, upon which Superior Judge Dunne will rule Monday. CASE PUT OVER. Both Egan and Tinnin will plead not guilty, counsel has stated. Then will come the court fight of the decade, it Is expected Egan with his eleven years' experience in the cunning of defense pitted against the dispassionate champion for the State, Chief Deputy District Attorney Golden. The police have been ready for some time with all of their evidence.

Egan was to have appeared yesterday afternoon in Superior Judge Graham's court as a witness in the action of heirs of Mrs. Katie Weber to oust Attorney L. M. Hoefler as executor of her estate. But the matter went over to next Tuesday, by which time Attorney Hoefler has been ordered by the court to furnish a complete accounting of the $8,100 estate Egan is accused of having looted.

Attorney Chauncey Tramutolo, acting for Hoefler, must file an answer in his behalf by Tuesday. Egan, too, has been ordered to appear on that day. HOEFLER UPHELD. In an impassioned address to the court, Attorney Hoefler accused the Weber heirs of "rank ingratitude." He Indicated that it probably would have been better for him to expose Egan than try to recover what money he could for himself and the heirs. Hoefler changed his of recovered money, lowering it from some $5,000 to some $3,000.

He was upheld by the court in a refusal to make the Weber estate beneficiary of Egan's $10,000 insurance policy instead of himself. The court held him to be within his rights as executor. The Weber action became a three-cornered fight when Attorney William Henry Kiler came Into court demanding a share of the estate for Mrs. Anna Jobin and Albert Weber, step-children of Mrs. Katie Weber.

According to Attorney Kiler, they had verbally waived their right upon the representation to Egan that their father, August Weber, left "nothing to speak of." EGAN IN BAD HUMOR. Other witnesses testified that there was not enough left of Katie Weber's $8,100 estate to pay her doctor bill or funeral expenses, which are still owing. Egan was in bad humor yesterday when Tiv Kreling, sergeant-at-arms for the Board of Supervisors, went to, the county jail to notify him he was no longer Public Defender. "Why do you have to do this with all these newspaper men here? Egan demanded angrily. Joseph Anderson, acting head of the State narcotic bureau, announced that he had been investigating principals in the Egan case in connection with dope, but was not ready to make known his findings.

Anderson admitted, however, that he had not been able to connect Egan with any of his investigations to date. MYSTERY DENIED. Two bottles of medicine, taken from the home of the slain Mrs. Hughes, were found to contain no poison, Coroner Leland said. He estimated that it would take about two weeks to examine for poison the organs of the exhumed body of Mrs.

Florence Cook. Her $6,000 alimony settlement vanished under Egan's deft touch and her death last February from "acute alcoholism" was said in some quarters to have been strangely similar to that so much so that he insists they both accompany him and his wife on a vacation trip to Venice. Then At a wedding on Tuesday, June 21, at Old Mission Carmel, Miss Mary McCrea Hughes will be married to Mr. Richard F. Ryan.

Miss Jule M. White will be maid of honor and Dr. John M. Frawley will be best man. Miss Hughes is the daughter of Mrs.
