BUNGALOW CHURCH :00 p. 1 The paub iay mo recté Qln NO San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 6--(INS) --James Kelly, suspect in the fatal burning of Elfrieda Knaak in the Lake Bluff police station, who last night repudiated his confession that he had burned the girl, was on his way to Chicago today. He was in custody of Chief of Police Lester Tiffany of Lake Forest. Kelley, in repudiating his confes-- sion, declared he told the story to bring disgrace to a brother and an aunt who had declined to take care of him when he had a mental break-- down, and instead had put him in an institution for the feeble minded. Before starting to the station, Kelly: told Tiffany that he did not want to go back to Chicago because ho was afraid of his wives, especial-- ly the third for she is a girl with brains.'", He married the third with-- out securing a divorce from either of the other two, posing at the time first, as a son and then a nephew of Frederick McLaughlin, of Chi-- pago, for whom he worked as a chauffeur. Kelly's third wife left him shortly after they were mar-- ried, he said. He talks of her a great deal and often expressed the fear of meeting her again. He chatted freely, remarking that he was taking a long ride "right back to an asylum." Kelly has served in the army three times, each time under a dif-- ferent name. The records disclose that he has taken "French Rave" twice. His first service was in 1920 under the name of Edward McVeigh at Langley Field, Va., he was dis-- charged under Section 148 and en-- listed again in 1922 under the name of Mathews.

Authorities were forced to send for him so as to clear up the sus-- picion he had directed toward him-- self by his statements. McVeagh was arrested by military police of Fort Sam Houston after he gave himself up as a deserter.

He invariably deserted. o o 0o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tiffany arrived this morning from San Antonio. He was confident, too that the man had nothing to do with either the fatal burning of Miss Knaak or the Kelley assault. Miss Kelley was struck over the head a day after he gained his free-- dom. It was in the Kelley case that the prisoner was brought back. The warrant charging him with assault with a deadly weapon, signed before Justice Hervey Coulson, will be dropped, it is 'understood. Hazy on Details Under questioning from Col. Smith McVeagh was unable to describe the village hall at Lake Bluff, the door-- way, the furnace, the furnace--room and Miss Knaak, who lived in Deer-- field where she was a Sunday school teacher. "He is obviously a mental case, Col. Smith said. McVeagh declared that he made the two confessions in order to em-- barrass an aunt and his wives. He claims he has married three women in the Chicago district. McVeagh, who used the alias of James Kelly, repudiated the Knaak confession and the Kelley confes-- sion as well. Col. Smith found that McVeagh was under the care of a doctor at the asylum each day from Oct. 27 to Nov. 9, when he broke through a window and escaped. The Knaak death occurred while he was in the hospital. Prior to tha time McVeagh had submitted to a half hour grilling in the office of States Attorney A. V. Smith.
