FULL TEXT: Aurora, Mo., June 5.—A telephone message from Galena says that Mrs. John Stallion and two sons by a former marriage have confessed to the murder of Alice Stallion, her step daughter, aged sixteen. According to the confession the boys held Alice while her mother broke her stall with a poker. The body was then thrown in the James river. There is great excitement and lynching may result.
