C., is | iuzzling Los Angeles as nothing has | in_years. r ‘Los Angeles cannot quite make up its mind whether to get aroused over ‘a murder tale of unbelievable atroc- ity, or to dismiss the whole thing as a ghastly hoax. Indeed, the po- lice themselves are a bit puzzled, They think they are on the trail of | something: yet they are ndt now ready to go into court and try| Northcott on a murder charge. Northcott, meanwhile, protests volubly that he is innocent. Boy Is Accuser The case against him, to date) rests almost solely on the amaz- ing story told officials by 15-year- old Sanford Clark, Northcott’s nephew. 7 Young Clark had lived at the Northcott chicken farm near Corona, Calif. He came, not long ago, to the police with a grisly tale of wholesale murders at the farm. Young boys had been lured to the | farm and killed by Northcott, he said. He added that Northcott’s mother, 60-year-old Mrs. Louise Northcott, aided in the murders. Four of these murders, he said, he himself saw. Walter Collins, aged 9, was named by Clark as the first victim. Fol- lowing him, he said, were the mur- ders of Nelson and Louis Winslow and an unidentified Mexican or Filipino. Northcott killed the boys with an axe, his mother assisting, and then dismembered their bodies and buried them in quicklime on the farm, Clark said. Police Lack Evidence To date the police have not been able to confirm or disprove his story. Once it was reported that the Col- lins boy had been found alive and unharmed at DeKalb, Ill.; but vestigation proved that this wa: other lad. Collins, and the other two boys named by Clark, are in- dubitably missing. Cyrus Northcott, father of the alleged murderer, seems to believe that thi He has said that hi killings” but never saw them; once he told the police that his wife would go to any extreme, not except. ing murder, to please her son. daughter, Jessie, aged 19, also see! to credit the tale; but she cannot give any definite evidence. Search of the farm has been going on for days, and the police frankly admit that they do not know whether they have uncovered any corroborative evidence or not. They have found fragments of bones, blood-soaked ground and the like; but thus far they cannot tell for certain whether the bones and blood are those of human beings or from animals. | _ A murder case cannot very well be tried witthout a corpus delicti— a dead body. And, to date, the po- _ lice have nothing resembling one. Protests Innocence Northcott, under arrest at Van- | couver, insists he is innocent. * “The whole case is simply that of @ dissatisfied husband seeking di- Vorce grounds, a girl mad for movie blickty. from whose mind all of This idea: came, and a lazy stupid boy half cracked from reading too many detective stories and ' too many wild west movies, jetty Pon the belief tl ais roe | chiefly i they can ‘some sort of ‘admission from Worthcott when they get him in Los Angeles.

The fact that the government of India was reported buying wheat both from, Australia and Argentina acted also as a bullish influence, Besides, private crop estimates given out to- day indicated that the United States wheat crop is 7,000,600 bushels un- der official September returns. Curtailment of about 100,000,000 bushels in the estimated, 1928 pro- duction of corn, as reported today by leading authorities and as com- pared with a month ago, lead to fair buying, on the part of commission houses, and brought about advances in price. One of the principal re- ports figured the probable condition of corn at the time of maturity as 77.8 per cent with an indicated yield; of 2,902,000,000 bushels. This re- port said ears average only moder- ate in size, leaving the final crop materially ‘below earlier prospects ased more or less upon heavy stands and luxuriant foliage. Another widely known crop ex- pert said that owing to early matur- ity of this season’s crop and on ac- count of the shortage of old corn, feeding of the new crop has started earlier and heavier than usual Because of this siuation, a larger percentage of corn than usual prom- ises to be consumed by November 1. Largest estimates given of corn yield by states are Iowa 499,000,000 bushels and _ Illinois® 378,000,000! bushels. CABLE STRENGTH [SENDS PRICES UP Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 2—(P)— Unexpected strength in cables gave wheat a higher range today, with prices edging up %@% cents and remaining at high late in the last) hour.
