B4 e PRISONER ADMITS STRANGLING GIRL “She Preferred Another,” Explanation of Brasser, Guarded by Police. By the Associated Press. MONTICELLO, N. Y., October 11.— Glenn Brasser, 22-year-old Rochester dairyman, was held under heavy guard today after Corpl. Willlam Waldron of the State Police said he confessed strangling Muriel Hall, Rochester high school student, because she preferred *another boy friend.” Corpl. Waldron said Brasser, who was arrested last night near Liberty, N. Y., signed a two-page confession in which he sald he choked the 18- year-old girl to death in her home ‘Wednesday evening after a ‘“lovers’ quarrel.” 5 Waylaid in Home, In a calm and even voice, Corpl.| Waldron said, Brasser, & husky 200- | pound former C. C. C. worker, told | of entering the girl's home in an exclusive residential section and wait- ing for her to return from school. “She told me it was all off between us,” Brasser was quoted by Waldron, “and she didn't want to see me any more.” Brasser then became infuriated, xlnmron said, and started choking er. Following discovery of the bedy, a mearch was started for Brasser when friends reported they formerly were engaged but had quarreled. The “break” in the case came with startling speed. Brasser drove up to a gasoline filling station near Liberty late yesterday and ordered some gasoline. He drove off without paying for it, and the station operator notified police. The young man was arrested by a Liberty policeman and turned over to Corpl. Waldron. Neither officer knew Brasser was wanted in connection with the Rochester slaying. Given 30-Day Term. ‘They took him before a county Judge, who sentenced him to 30 days in jail for petit larceny and driving without a license. It was not until they had reached the county jail here that Waldron got word Brasser was wanted in Rochester. The young man told police he had thought of committing suicide after | leaving the house, but gave up the ides. Waldron found two bottles of | poison in Brasser's possession.
