MOTHER CONFESSES Baggagemen at Union Depot Make Startling Discovery This Afternoon Find Body With Head Crushed CHILD WAS AN ENCUMBRANCE Depot Master Arrests Man and Woman Mother Confesses to Killing Child So She Could Be Re-United to Her Husband At 3:30 this afternoon a man and I woman appeared In the Union Depot, and the man was Immediately Identified by a baggage clerk as the one who had checked the trunk. Depot Master John Shields was no tlfled and approaching the stranger Inquired as to the trunk he had checked and asked to see the check, which was readily presented. Thereupon Mr.

Shields placed the man and his companion under arrest who gave their names as C. L. Anderson and Mrs. Gus Ekman of Salt Lake. On being questioned, the woman broke down and confessed that the body was that of her child whom she had put to death In order to free herself of an encumbrance.

The crime was committed In Salt Lake two days ago When taken to tte police station and after a brief talk with Chief Nor ton, Mrs. Ekman bfjke down and told the 6tory of the death of the child. She said that two days ago. dlscour-aged and disheartened, because of adverse circumstances, she killed her child by giving It chloroform. About that time she met Anderson who was formerly her husband and he persu aded her to go with him to their old home In Michigan.

She consented and without Anderson's knowledge placed the child In a trunk and started for Michigan An-derson had asked where the child was and she told him that she was dead, but she declared to Chief Norton that Anderson knew nothing of the murder nor did he know that one of her trunks contained the body of the child. Mrs. Ekman denies using violence and clings to the statement that the child was chloroformed The woman states that she has been nearly frantic with grief since the murder and that she had intended suicide, but. fl nally determined to take the body to Michigan and give It a decent burial. The dead child, she says, Is ten years old and the daughter of a former husband named Williams.

The child's first name Is Frances and the mother tays she has always been sickly Mrs Ekman said she tried to get employment In Salt Lake but no one would aid and she became so discouraged that she hardly knew what she was doing. Her husband, Gis Ekman left her a short time ago and is now a resident rf Kemmerer, Wyoming. Anoerson says he knows nothing of the murder and that he did not know! that one of the trunks contained the body. He recently came from California. He was married to Mrs.

Ekman about 12 years ago Hrs Ekman was taken to the la-dies' ward and placed in jail while' Anderson was locked in a cell down stairs. The theory of the police is that the child was in the way of a reunion of the man and woman. Evidence of horrible and reoltlnK murder were brought to at 1:80 lock todaj wh( I runs opened St the baggace room oi the Uulon p0 exposed the naked body of a girl The head and BhOUl-dei showed the marks of beatlns.l The trunk arrived over the Oregou Short Line from Salt Lake yesterday tnd was rechecked back today by a mysterious stranger, the description of whom furnishes the police with the on, clue to the mvstery according to the undertaker. Lhe cirl has been dead for two days. The trunk, upon Its arrival It Ogden vestcrduv was handled in the or-1 In 1V manner and was plac ed with i other trunks in he bagagc room.

ThU morning, however, an odor discerned About noon, a stranger .) at the countor and presented a trunk check, ordering that the trunk for which the 'beck was held to be sent back to Salt Lake. When the man had gone and th" trunk had been checked, one the aeents remarked that it would have been better to bae held th- man until he could explain (lie odor.

ex-offlcio coroner, and Eli Jah Larkln, the undertaker. With the consent of the coroner, the trunk and body were placed in the Larkln Automobile and taken to the morgue It was not until the body had been laid upon the slab that the terrible nature of the crime was discovered Tiif discolored and swollen features called for first attention. The trunk Is of the average size and has no marks of any description There were no articles of clothing containing laundry marks and the old mattress bore no unusual features. The little girl was fair with blonde hex tied with red hair ribbons. There was a scar which Is believed to have been caused b.

an operation on the abdomen several years ago. The employes at the baggage room are puzzled over the appearance of the man at the counter to re-check the trunk. The police likewise are mystified. The description furnished I b) ihe baggage agent Is the only clue tt3 have so far and that description has been telephoned to surrounding cities The officers are not certain but that the real culprit hired a Granger to have the trunk sent back, the murderer fearing that his crime would be disclosed at the time far as has been learned, no reports of a missing child have come tn the attention of the police In Salt Lake The girl has not been dead more than two days, according to the undertaker. Therefore it is believed that the crime was committed In some nccr city.

If not In Salt Lake. The discovery of the body created a sensation among tho employes at the depot but so quietly was the matter handled that none of the passengers waiting for the trains were aware of what had been discovered Immediately after the discovery had been made by Mr. Greenwell, the lid was fastened on the trunk and It was I laced aside to await the coming of the officials and undertaker An examination of the body at the 'Immmis hv (Vmnlv Phvftlclnn lir A A.

Mrs Ekman stated that she had no home for tbe Child and killed It to be free from aa incumbrance.

Fearing that She might beave weapons upon her Mr Shields searched her before turning her over to Patrolman Marlin Neither Shields nor the police believe that Anderson had knowledge of the crime. The woman was bstencal aDd was poorly dressed. CONGRESS WILL TAKE RECESS Washington, June 28.
