AGENGES Hollywood, Nov. 30.—(AP)—Bing Crosby's reputation as a bu-bu-bu- battling crooner flourished Monday. bu-bu-bu-based on a couple of bu- bu-bu-blows outside of a San Diego cafe, But Bing denied earlier reports they were aimed at heckling sailors of the United States fleet. The hostilities apparently were de- clared as the blue of the night melted |into the gold of the dawn, but Bing’s brother, Larry, said he was uncertain ot the enemy's identity. “The navy was on our side,” ex- plained Crosby to Brother Larry. “There wasn't much to it—a poke; jor two—but it was all settled to} jeverybody’s satisfaction. Let's forget, {it*” Larry, who quizzed the singing ac- tor briefly, was obliged to furnish a second-hand account of the Crosby war. His version: Bing and a friend, Lynn Howard, visited a San Diego cafe. A cus- tomer recognized the film star. Soon he impugned the honor of crooners, and Crosby's in particular, in a public statement. Bing’s ire was aroused, The prin- cipals and a group of sailors stepped out into the street. Then, as action threatened to become hot and heavy, poilce enforced peace. Apparently there was little damage done. Bing didn’t even have a skin- ‘ned knuckle. Henry scrubbing the floor of the saloon. We quarreled. Henry was large for his age and when he struck me I was frightened. I picked up a stick and struck him on the head. He fell unconscious.” Koehr related he dragged the body to a nearby cistern and threw it in. After 10 months Henry's body ‘was found. “The mark of Cain is upon me,’ Koehr said despairingly Sunday night. “But I'm glad I confessed. I was al- ways going to do it, but could never get courage enough. Now I'm ready jfor my punishment.” He worked for the last 18 years as a filing clerk in a Chicago store.
