War- rants for four relatives for alleged participation in the rites will be issued. The “branding party” took place at the home of Kdward Rhodes, brother-in-law of Schalow, near Grid- r, early Sunday morning, February By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, March 26 E. HARRIS AND The district attorney savs he has admissions that at least two Deople other than alow were in the room when a poker was heated in a stove and that the feet, arms and other parts of Schalow’s body were seared. Investigat learned that those who participated in the party declare a human ry as a part of a reputed religious fanatical ceremony. They claim they were im- pelled by a strange power possessed by Shalow, one they could not resist, and that the branding was voluntarily accepted by Schalow, who rested on floor, a willing victim to the white-hot iron. Mrs. Schalow fell into a strange “spell” in which she remained for two or three days, fol- lowing the party, authorities they learn. Sheep were offered sacri- fices the night before the “branding,” reports of investigators say.
