KtHTOR’S NOTH—From the As sociated Press stories it is learned that Hickman at first said that a man name Cramer had killed Mar ian Parker, but Cramer was loea-; ted in jail, which upset this claim I of Hickman. Captured in Oregon Hickman j was transported back to the scene of his crime on the train. While confined fn a cell the prisoner tried to end his Jife but was failed in two attempts. Prior to his de parture fronf Oregon he became hysterical, his shrieks being heard through the heavy cell doors. While en route the youthful i slayer confessed that he slew the girl arid took the whole responsi bility for the Los Angeles murdeV. He disclosed the gruesome details of the terrible crime when quizzed saying that he strangled the girl with a piano wire and then cut up the body. This was done the same ( day of kidnapping. The slayer admitted that it was: a single handed crirpc, and gavel as reason that he was afraid that.: girl would make a noise. j The confession was obtained af-j ter a whole clay of grilling by Cal- j Ifdrnia officials on the train. The Los Angeles police were heavily mobilized for the arrival of the train bearing the young man. On arrival in LossAngeles Hick man was brought into court im mediately but the hearing was; held up for a time. He was to be j arraigned Thursday. The youth; remained at ease and answered questions clearly, and appeared not in the least disconcerted. The father of Hickman is report- j ed to have discovered him, but his mother is standing by him, having sent an attorney to appear in his defense. ®Big, Reduction ; ■ *. ^ 11 \-^' ▼ Children’s Coatsj Now ia the time for mothers to secure stylish, serviceable coats for their children at a reduction Of one fourth to one-half in the price.

Caswell had two distinguished j guests from White Plains, New! York, who had come down at the invitation of S. M. Bason and K. F. Upchurch to hunt quail'in the open spaces of the county, These gentlement were: Albert) W. Haigh, a prominent business man of White Plains, president of j the Lawyer’s Westchester Mort gage and Title Corporation, andj John ,J. Ackerman, an attorney of White Plains. * During the three days they were in Yanceyville Mr. Haigh and Mr. Ackerman were the guests of Mr.; and Mrs. B. S. Gra\res. From re ports it is learned that this visit proved to be a time of mutual en-j. joyment both for the host and hos-; tcs» and the guests. The visitors!! are said to,have expressed them-! selves as highly -pleased with the! cordial reception accorded them by the Caswell people and with the! hunting. And Mr. Graves said he had never had more agreeable; guests In his home. Doak Poteat was the master of ceremonies during the hunting ex-j! peditions. and from all accounts I Mr. Poteat is one of the most suc cessful quail hunters in the coun ty, having a dog that is in the blue' ribbon class. The officials of the Caswell Chamber of Commerce, in discuss-; ing the visit of Messrs. Haigh and Ackerman, say that they think Gas j well county is one of the best hunting grounds for quail to be found in North Carolina, or any- ; where else, for that matter, and ■ that they would like very much to ! see hunting lodges established;; here. It is certain that there are quite . enough open lands in the county ! to furnish preserves for a large ; number of men who may wish to ■ spend a part, of every season here ! in sport and recreation. And the ; farmers who own large areas of < land which they do not cultivate;! would no doubt welcome the hunt-]; ers, who would help pay the taxes ;< on the lands for the privilege ofj hunting. The protection thrown around the game in North Carolina by the game laws is causing a marked in crease in quail, turkeys, &e, it is said, and this helps to make Cas well county more attractive as a paradise for hunters. The people of Caswell are glad to have had Messrs, Haigh and Ackerman visit them and trust that tHey will want to return every year.
