Negro Handyman Admits
Slaying Former Actress
In Westport, Conn., Home
NEWARK, N.J., UP)—A 29-year
old Negro was captured today and
police said he admitted the stran
gle-slaying of a former actress in
her Westport, Conn., home.
The man, William Davis, sought
since yesterday, was picked up on
a tip from Brooklyn, N.Y., police.
He broke down under question
ing and orally admitted the slay
ing of Mrs. Senada (Penny) Coats
Evans, 28 estranged wife of Mont
gomery Evans, 52-year-old writer
and heir to a banking fortune, •
Police Commissioner Arthur
Weller said.
Mrs. Evans’ partly nude body
was found Monday night in her
Westport home. Police authorities
there said she had been strangled
and raped. They sent out an
alarm for the arrest of Davis, who
had worked as a handyman for
Mrs. Evans.
Weller said Davis told police
he and Mrs. Evans had a discus
sion over wages and that he told
of stabbing her with a house knife
and strangling her with an elec
tric cord after a drinking bout.
Davis, taken to police head
quarters shackled to a detective,
sobbed openly as he was photo
graphed by newspaper camera
men.
