! CONFESSED SLAYER OF 3 BOYS GRILLED Panzram Silent on Original Story as Bay State Of- ficers Arrive Here. . A two-hour grilling by Massachusetts and Washington detectives today of Carl Panzram, confessed slayer of three boys, ended about 1 o'clock this after- noon where it began—in Panzram’s ob- durate silence concerning the alleged murder six years ago near Salem, Mass., of Henry McMahon, 12 years old. With the arrival last night of Capt. Gideon Telletier of Salem and Lieut. Willlam F. Murray of the Massa- chusetts State police it was learned that Panzram also said he had mur- dered 2 boy in New London, Conn. bringing the number of his admitted killings to three. He had already told Maj. Peak of slaying 12-year-old Henry McMahon near Salem in 1922 and an- other boy in Philadelphia last August. The third murder is said by Panzram to have been committed near New Lon- don, Conn. This information was con- tained in a letter written to the chief of police of New London by the pris- oner. So far Massachusetts authori- ties have been unable to connect the facts of the confession with any known killing in that section. Word was received from Philadelphia today that the body of a l14-year-old boy, Alexander Luszock, has been exhumed from the potters’ field there and identified as that found last August near the spot where Panzram declared he strangled & boy to death. i Immediately upon their arrival in this city, about 9 o’clock last night, the Massachusetts detectives went directly to the jail and there, in the presence of Lieut. Kelly, Assistant District Attorney ‘Walter M. Shea and newspaper men. attempted to elicit information from Panzram concerning his written con- fessions. They say that he was frank | ‘with them concerning his past life, but refused to discuss the Salem killing. He told them that he had served 11 peni- ;e;xl;hry terms and had been in 200 ails. Although inclined to think that Panz- ram's confession “is a hoax to secure his removal from this jurisdiction, where he is facing a charge of house- breaking, the Massachusetts officers are proceeding with caution and say that if they obtain the least confirmation from the prisoner of the truth of his confession, they wili take him to Salem. A warrant charging him with murder is in their possession, but no extradi- tion papers have yet been obtained. Last night Panzram is said to have indicated his willingness to return with them and face a Massachusetts court. His case here of housebreaking was scheduled to be presented to the grand Jjury tomorrow. Maj. Peake said today that the letter | from Panzram to the chief of police at New London, Conn., followed by several days his confession here, where little credence was given his story at first. At the same time Panzram addressed letters to the prosecuting attorneys of Philadelphia and Boston confessing to the alleged murders there. Panzram describes the boy he says he killed near New London as about 16 or 17 years old and from Brooklyn. The letter states that the boy told him his uncle was a policeman at the time, which was the Summer of 1922. “On the right hand side of that road I left the body of the murdered boy with his belt still tied around his neck,” the letter asserts. In his postscript Panzram says, “For 18 years I have been 'olns around murdering people and now I think it is about time for | some one to murder me. | “Here’s luck to you.” FISH HAS FOUR WINGS. Rare Specimen Caught Off lrem:hi Coast. QUIMPER, France (P).—A tetrapturus —a fish regarded by science as being as extinct in the Atlantic as the dodo bird in American animal life—has been captured a few miles off shore here by Leon Pelletier, a fisherman. It measures over 6 feet in length and possesses four wings or fins instead of two. Pelletier tra d his catch to the nsporte: laboratory of the College of France at Concarneau. “Marvelous!” exclaimed a scientist there to Pelletier. “It belongs to both terygious l‘fl‘ the istio- the acanthopt phoridiaus fish families. “Yes!” gasped the fisherman and he promptly put to sea again. e Tourteen lieutenants of the United Btates Navy are stationed at the Har- vard Engineering School. 1.

Visits White House and Exchanges Felicitations With Coolidge. | THe new Japanese Ambassador to Washington, Katsuji Debuchi, pre- sented his credentials to President Coolidge at the White House late yes- terday. The new Japanese Ambassador pointed out that he was the first Am- | bassador to the United States the pres- ent Emperor of Japan had nominated since his accession to the throne. The Emperor took this opportunity, the Am- bassador said, “of conveying to you in the most direct and public manner his warm sentiments of friendship and re- gard for the people of the United States and for yourself personally. His Majesty charges me to say at the same time that he entertains the sincerest hope that the prosperity of this great Nation will ever continue to increase in the future as it has conspicuously done in the past.” In reply. President Coolidge said that he desired that the Ambassador convey to the Japanese Emperor “the earnest hope entertained by the Government and people of the United States that under his reign, so auspiciously begun, your country will continue to enjoy the blessings of peace and prosperity.” In view of his previous experience in this country Mr. Coolidge said that he was confident that the new Ambassador would “do much towards the advance- ment of the interests to both Japan and the United States. I wish to assure you thai in the carrying out of this purpose you may rely upon my hearty co-operation.” Mayoral Necklace in Style.
