TO
MANY GRIMES
Man in Los Angeles Jail
Charges Himself With
Eight Murders.

Los Angeles, Cal, July ARRESTED
on the charge Of having passed bad
check at seaside resort, Simon P.
Helfnstine who Is in jail here today,
startled officials of the sheriff's once
with purported confession in which
he detailed series Of eight murderers
III Ohio. These include the staying
Of Pearl Bryant for whose death the
medical students, Jackson and Walling
were executed.
Some Of the circumstances of the
crimes as related by Helfiinstine do not
coincide with known facts and county
officials were inclined to believe the
prisoner was suffering from the pecu-
liar phase Of insanity, often noted in
police work, which causes the victim
to imagine he committed the crimes Of
which he has only read. Nevertheless
Assistant District Attorney w. Joseph
Ford got into communication today
with the police departments Of several
Ohio cities.
Helfinstine said he started his
career OF murder in 1896 with the kill
ing OF a farmer named Dedricks and
his wife and the stealing of $4,000
which they had hidden away. In 1905
the prisoner said he killed two farm
ers named Fletcher and Butler at
Kenton Pike, Ohio, and then came
west
Pearl Bryant was supposed to have
been killed in Cincinnati, but Helm
stine asserts that he murdered the girl
In Toledo and then shipped the body
to Jackson and Walling in Cincinnati.
