Austin Hall and Mrs. Bonnie Heady have confess ed killing Robert Greenlease Jr., and even digging the boy’s grave before kidnap ing him, the FBI said today. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said both confessed that Hall shot the six-year old son of a wealthy Kansas City, Mo., Cadillac dealer in the state of Kansas. This laid them open to prosecu tion under the Lindbergh federal kidnaping law and its maximum penally of death. Confronted with a mass of evidence against them, the pair broke down in a city jail cell here and ad mitted they dug the boy’s grave and bought lime to put over the body even be fore they kidnaped him from an exclusive Catholic school in Kansas City last Sept. 28. The boy’s body was found behind Mrs. Heady’s home in St. Joseph, Mo., last Wed nesday, the day after their arrest here. The two kidnapers absolved ex convict Thomas John Marsh of any part in the kidnap-slaying, Hoover said, and the FBI called off any search for him. Hall, 37, a wealthy lawyer’s son who ran through a $200,000 inher itance, previously had blamed Marsh for the actual killing. He had said Mrs. Heady, 41-year-old hard-drinking divorcee, did not know what part she played in the kidnaping of the boy the week before last. GOT $600,000 RANSOM The boy's father paid $600,000 ransom for' the boy's release. Hall was arrested with slightly less than $300,000. The remainder has not been found. The FBI, in announc ing the Hall-Heady confessions to day. made no mention of the un sound ransom money. Attorney General Herbert Brown ell Jr., said the killing of the boy in the state of Kansas made the crime a federal offense and sched (ConUnued on Page 81
