HOPE T0 UNEARTH WORDER VICTINS Hassel, Soon to Die, Deseribes Spot Where Four Bodies Lie Whittier, Cal, Feb. 1 (A)—A bar- rier of clay today stood between the | police and the possible discovery of four more victims in the murder career of George J. Hassell, now | awaiting execution in Texas for the ! slaying of his v - und eight step- children there. Hassell, according to a I¢ ceived from Sheriff L. L. Leaward, of Walker county, Texas, confessed recently that ten years ago he killed a woman with whom he was living here and her three adopted children, burying their bodies beneath ti hou Guided by a chart prepared Hassell, police in relays last dug their way through hard clay to & point which they estimated to be within two feet of where the boides shiould be found. When the digging was concluded for the night, a pit five feet deep and five feet long had been made. Because of the cramp- od quarters only one man is permit- ted to dig at a time. | Authorities expressed the belief | that the victims of H 1l's admitted slaying may have bec Vogel, formerly of Pitt i fornia, and her three adopted chil- dren who disappeared from here un- der mysterious circumstances in 1017, Hassell, in his purported confes- pion, said he was living here under the name of “G. Baker” when he murdered the woman with whom he was living over an argument as to whether he should go into the army. This was shortly after the United States entered t world r and the selective draft was about to be enforced, he said. He choked and clubbed “Mrs. Baker” to death and ghen Kkilled the sleeping children. Mrs. Myrtle Lark, a neighbor, y Rerday told the police of the strange @isappearance of “Mrs. Baker” and her children. Baker, as he was known here, told neighbors that hi: wife had been called to San Fran- Eisco by the death of a sister. Mrs. Lark said she saw Baker | parry a large and apparently heavy trunk to the garag: on the day that the woman and children were first missed. At night she saw him carry- | ing “other small bundles” into the yarage. During the days which fol- lowed Baker was noticed crawling | under the house, throwing out dirt and rubbish. Later Mrs. Lark observed Baker Wigging a large hole in the floor of his garage. A few months later Ba another woman and child to live With him. She was introduced to Mrs. Lark as his housekeeper. Soon siter that, Baker disappeared. | everal years after the disappear- ance of the Bakor family, authoritics | here were asked to search for Mrs. Vogel. The request came from Mrs. | Gertrude Hoffman of Pittsburgh, a sister, who said she had not heard from Mrs. Vogel in eleven years. No | trace of the missing woman Wwas found.
