On his return here from Jack- sonville Christy made a confe: sion of the quadruple killings,! ‘saying he killed Leopold for re-} venge and that the deaths of the other three were incidental. Of- ficials for a time were inclined to} believe this story, but they dis-| carded it, and now stand ready} to prove it in court. They say they can prove that Christy is a thief and bandit, and that he walked into the home where Leo- pold, 37, his wife, 32, were play- ing checkers, while the child played on the floor, for the sole purpose of committing a holdup.| A fellow prisoner, who was re-| cently released from Dade county jail after being confined in the} same cell with the man, told a re-| porter that Christy had but slight} t hope of beating the murder cases} in court, but hoped to make aj break for freedom _ either from; the Dade jaii, on his way to Rai-| ford, or from the state prison after he gets there. | The fellow-prisoner described} Christy as a man without nerves, | nd said he well and sleeps! like a child in spite of the knowl-| edge that he has a_ very poor | chance to escape the electric chair. From what they learned from} Christy, physical evidence and} from the hundreds of witnesses} they have questioned in the case, investigators reconstructed the! events of the evening of July 17 as} follows:| Christy entered the Leo- pold apartment shortly before] dusk with his guns in his hands. Leopold, a powerful man, grap- pled with the killer. The killer's guns were dis- charged a number of times with-| out effect during the struggle, but then the death bullets were fired into the body of the man. {the ball.
