Mrs. Mildred Allison Rex-roat, Rex-roat, dancing teacher who was shot to death at Wheaton, 111., recently, was the victim of a murderer, who, according to his own confession, had killed thirteen others in as many years. Henry Spencer, arrested in a room near the south side levee district dis-trict Saturday, confessed that he not only killed Mrs. Rexroat but that he had slain fourteen persons. He was positively identified as the mysterious "Mr. Spencer" with wnom Mrs. Rex-roat Rex-roat left Chicago on the night she was killed. Mrs. Rexroat's bloodstained blood-stained rattan suit case was found in his room as was the revolver with which he said he had killed her. The police, while in doubt as to the full truth of Spencer's story, are confident con-fident that they have found a wholesale whole-sale murderer and that he will be proved to have killed at least several of those whose deaths he described in a long confession. |
