SLAYER DRINKS VICTIM'S BLOOD; HAS KILLED NINE LEWES, Eng, July 18— — Handsome John George Haigh was quoted in court today as telling police he killed nine persons, drang some of their klood and then dis- solved the bodies in acid. Haigh pleaded innocent by rea- son of insanity to a charge of mur- dering Mrs. Olive Durand-Deacon, 69, a wealthy widow, last Feb. 18 The debonair 39-year-old busin man walked jauntily to the bench and answered ‘“not guilty” in a clear, firm voice. Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, a prose- berg War Crimes trial, is Haigh's defense attorney. He read in court a statement he said Haigh gave to police admitting the killing of the widow and the others. He said | Haigh was “insane so as not to be { responsible for the act.” and thus innocent of premeditated murder. The statement said Haigh lured Mrs. Durand-Deacon to a factory warehouse in nearby Crawley and shot her in the back of the head. “Then I fetched in a drinking glass and made an incision, I think with a penknife, in the side of her neck, and collected a glass of blood, which I drank.” MRS.
