FL PASO, Dec. 1.-Two of the four men held here in connection with the murder of a Greek automobile driver of Cheyenne, Wyo., on the night of December ', made statements late today admitting their part in the affair which they said occurred about ten miles out of Cheyenne on the road to Carr, Colo.
 The men arrested were William L. (BilD Brown W. J Frisbie. Walter Headlee and Joe Hamilton. They were taken into custody late yesterday at Ysleta, a little town in the valley twelve miles from here and were brought here and placed in the coun- ty jail. Brown is said to be from Grand Rapids, Mich, and has a reg istratiOn card. F'risbie is from Texas, while Hamilton and Headlee were held as deserter suspects, Hamilton having admitted he deserted from Fort D. A. Russell at Cheyenne.
 According to the statement made to the Associated Press by Frisbie, who is a typical Texas cowboy with high hat, high heeled boots and leather vest, he and Hamilton were not di- rectly connected with the alleged murder of the Greek whose first name was Alex, but whose last name was not known.
 We were drinking on the day and night of December 7, Frisbie said. We met Brown and Deadlee in Chey- enne and arranged to make the trip to Colorado and then to Texas, where I wantd to spend Christmas While in room in Cheyenne I heard Brown say something about Jumping him off but l did not pay much atten- ton to what he said. 1 remember saying we would not pull off any thing like that. That night we em- plOyed the automobile driver to take ! us to Carr. Colo.
 "When we had gone about ten miles out of Cheyenne I saw Brown draw his pistol. He pointed it at me | first, then fired. The driver crumpled | up and some one in the back seat | with us, believe it was Headlee fired again. The body of the drivel was then taken by Brown to point about 100 yards from the road ant | left there. He took $50 from the
 mans pockets which he kept. BrowT | then drove the automobile and wt went through Denver and Pueblo tC | Raton. N. M., and from there to Soc OTTO where the car was sold for $50 the money being divided between tht
 four of us.''

 been an occupant of the automobile
 when the killing of the driver oc
 cured. He also admitted having de
 serted from the cavalry regiment sta
 toned at Fort D. A. Russell but re
 fused to give his. home city, statinl
