By the Assaciated Proms LO8 ANGELES, January 28—The kidnaping and killing of Marian Parker was disclaimed today by Wiliam Ed- ward Hickman, whose counsel declared that the youth had repudiated his con- fession to the police. Jerome K. Walsh, defense attorney, sald Hickman does not admit slaying the schoolgirl, but refused to elaborate on his sudden change in attitude. Heretofore he had been ever ready to confess his guilt to officers, newspaper reporters and others. Repudiation of the confession ob- tained by the police was made to Dr. | A. L. Skoog, Kansas City. chief of the staff for defense alienists, who visited 1 kman in his cell. Walsh revealed plans for defense should he meet defeat in the Hick- | man insanity trial, which will be re- sumed in Superior Court Monday Would Ask New Trial. | Walsh seid that if it is man was sane ai the tis of crim ian arrest of judgment will be asked, | coupled with a demand for anothe trial on the piea that t now is insane.

The defense indi- !cated it would battle strenuousiy against the State being allowed to make turther changes. Two alternate jurors are to be se- lected. Keyes answered Hickman's disciaimer with the assert/on that Hickman not only had admitted his guilt in writien | and oral forms, but that his plea was itself a direct and legal admission | the facts of the crime. Keyes pointed out that, under the new code covering the plea of “not guilty by reason of - sanity,” Hickman had been asked bv + the court if he realized that under such plea he admitted his guilt and he had replied affrmatively. | Defense attorneys, after a conference | today. disclosed their intention of open- ing their case Monday with the intro- duction of 41 depositiors taken in Mis- souri and Arkansas. the scenes of Hick- | man's early life and schooi days The defense alienists will te the first wX- nesses.
