Fish, 68, confessed slayer of Grace Budd, 10- year-old girl who disappeared six years ago. The slipper was of the sandal type and in it were found a number of small bones. : Dr. Amos O. Squire, Westchester county medical examiner, said after the bones had been found that he believed there was a sufficient num- ber to reconstruct a skeleton. Au- thorities also rely on the slipper as a quick means of identification in order to satisfy the legal requirement of establishing the corpus delicti in the case. They planned to bring it to New York to have members of the family identify it as a slipper worn by Grace when she disappeared. Police said Fish who has been iden- tified by members of the dead girl's family as the man who lured Grace away on the promise to take her to a birthday party, spent a sleepless night and had not eaten. Leads Police to Spot Fish led police to a deserted house in the Worthington woods, Worcester county, late Thursday. Buried in the vicinity was the body, butchered by @ meat cleaver. Detective William King said the prisoner. in his detailed description of the slaying, left no doubt that the crime was committed to satisfy a blood lust. King said an anonymous ketter al- legedly sent by Fish to the Budd fam- ily after the girl was killed contained ‘an intimation of the possible founda- tion for the “blood lust” motive. The letter said the writer's brother served \in the navy in China in 1804 and was forced to eat human flesh. Butchered by a meat cleaver, the body was found in three parts, the skull buried in the woods near a ram- shackle house in East Irvington, the other bones by @ road. | “The blood lust seized me,” the wizened 65-year-old house painter said. “But I'm glad it’s over now. Helping the police find the body somehow makes me feel better.” | To the family which had never known what had befallen their child, then ten years old, since she walked hand-in-hand with a stranger into one of America’s most mystifying kid- napines, the swift solution came as a k, “It was a horrible thing,” said her father, Albert Budd, “and this makes it worse.” Identified by Father The father and a brother of the girl, Edward—who originally had been marked for the murder—confronted Fish and identified him as the man who disappeared with Grace. He was charged with homicide and kidnaping. Police pounced upon Fish in a mid- town postoffice substation Thursday while he waited for a remittance from ® son in a CCC camp. The last of a series of cruel letters to the Budd family had been received only a few days ago, written on the stationery of an employment agency, and tracing it back, police came to the catch. Spontaneously Fish launched into a confession, but he was cut short and taken to police headquarters where he told s complete and coherent story. Its text was not divulged, but Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine said it ran thus: Contemplating the killing in ad- vance, the man had bought a meat cleaver, saw and butcher knife, wrapped them in a tarpaulin and checked them e+ a news stand. ‘Then he went to call at the tene- ment home of the Budds, whose son Edward had advertised for a farm fob. Fish represented himself as one Frank Howard, and said he had & farm near Farmingdale, a farm that existed only in his imagination. Intended to Kill Boy He intended to take the 18-year-old boy with him and kill him, but upon meeting the family was captivated by delicate little Grace, with her big blue eyes and brown hair, and marked her instead for the massacre. He returned a few days later—it was June 3, 1926—said he was not go- to his farm until the next day, and invited Grace to accompany him that day to # party he said his sister was giving for some children. Delightedly, the child pinned a rose on her white dress and went wth him —to death. After picking up his baleful bundle, Fish took her by train to the West- chester hideaway which he knew to be unoccupied. He had lived in @ nearby house eight years ago. Telling the child to play in the yard until the other guests arrived, he went into the house, laid out his gruesome array of tools and called her. She came to him. It was three days later he returned. Re- tt was there that they found the body ‘Thursday night, the skull, a few bones and tattered remnants of a tarpaulin. gus boia taal Toledo, robbers escaped 000 Friday after holding up two em- ployes of the Woedville, 0. §
