A medium sized, sandy haired man walked into the police station in Fulton, Missouri at 12:00am last Friday and in a calm voice said to the night Chief of Police "Well chief, I guess you want me, I just killed my wife and Ernest Morris."
From an outstrecthed hand the astonished chief took the 22 caliber revolver which had been fired five times. The self confessed killer is Harley Fisher, thirty-three year old paper hanger.
Those he killed were Mrs. Pearl Fisher, an attractive thirty year old blond whom Mr. Fisher had been separated from for ten months. Ernest Morris, 23 years old, was dark haired and good looking. He was the son of a barber and was unemployed.
"I told him to keep away from my wife." Harley told police "He paid no attention."
