LOVE LEADS TO DEATH

Wellington, Kan., Aug.9 - James L. Vandaveer, a drayman,
60 years of age, confessed today to the sheriff here that
he was the man who fatally shot William Cann near here
last Saturday. Vandaveer declares he killed Cann, who
was 40 years of age, because the latter was courting
Mrs Vandaveer, his wife.

When did james L. Vandaveer die? and when did he confess?

...I have no idea, I am in Oklahoma. For that, you would
have to contact someone in the Wellington, Kansas area,
as that is where the article was out of through the AP.
Good luck...
