lly The United Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—Branded by the
police as one of the most remarkable
liars they have ever, dealt with, Henry
Spencer, whose "death list" of more
than a score of victims he claimed to
have murdered fumbled like a stack of
evidence today of
cauls, gave every
being in peril of a nervous collapse.
Spencer passed s restless night. Early
today the man who yesterday boast
fully recited the details of alleged gory
trimes with a smile, was pacing ner
vously his eell at'detective headquarters
tearing his hair and crying.
Captain Hnlpin said today that he
would not be surprised if the prisoner
toinpletcly changed his attitude und de
nied he even murdered Mrs. Mildred Al
lison-Rexront, the "Chicago dancing
teacher, for whose slaying he was in
dicted by the Du Page county grand
jury late yesterday.
To make certain they "had the goods

dancing academy with
Hructor, were brought to headquarters
and identified Spencer. The suitcase
found in his room wr.s identified ns that
of his alleged victim.
"This man Spencer Is one of the

most remarkable prisoners 1 ever

certain that he was not under the
Influence of opium when he was ar

aginative story that for a while fool

played an almost uncanny knowledge
of some recent Chicago murders. He
V a victim of what is called 'Stir'
Insanity brought on by long prison
confinement."
The police still believe that Spen

teacher, may have slain Mrs. Anna

with a hammer and robbed last De

PROBE OF THE
CITY POLICE
IS ASSURED
Commlssion Deci(les t0 Get at
the Bottom of Wiggins
Case
GIVE ATTENTION TO
REPORTED FACTIONALISM
As a result of a conference held
this morning, the police commission
ers this afternoon will take formal
action for an official investigation by
the hoard of the_ circumstances con
nected with the attempt by the po
lice to capture Homer C. Wiggins,
murderer and bandit, who killed him
self early Monday morning a week
ago in a lodging house at Fourth and
Shipley streets when besieged by a
squad of pollceipen.
The investigation will begin on
Monday afternoon next at 1.30 o'clock
and will continue each afternoon from
1.30 to 5 o clock until it is finished.
City Solicitor Hastings will be pres
ent at all hearings and will co-oper
ate with and be legal adviser of the
Police Commission. The commission
ers are William H. Bowers, president;
Thomas N. Stayton and General I.
Puscy Wickersham.
The Police Commissioners, at their
conference this morning, drew up
the following resolution, which they
will adopt this afternoon:
"Be it resolved. That the Board of
Police Commissioners make an invos
| ligation of all the circumstances
i connected with the attempt to arrest!
, Homer C. Wiggins by the police of;
the city of WHImington. and that the
City Solicitor be requested to be pres
ent and assist with the investigation."
It is altogether likely that the in
vestigation will be sweeping, and not
only will deal with the action of the
police at the "Battle of Baxter's
Corner." but also will go back to the
jtime the search began for Wiggins
after his escape from the Eastern
Penitentiary and the car barn rob
bery.
The Investigation In all proba
bility also will endeavor to bring out
whether there is factionalism In the
Police' Department, which impression
has grown recently since the Wig
(
gins' inquest.
