Confesses Identity But Denies Be-
ing in the Battle at the Farm
Home

Lselie Kruger, one of the brothers
who figured in sensational shooting
with a posse near Owen, Wis, is in
custody at Brainerd, Mimi. The youth,
an admitted army service evader, con-
fessed his identity.
Denies Being in Battle
Kruger said he had been in that
district for several days. A selective
service card issued to Phillip Shultz,
Chippewa county, Wis, was found on
him. According to Sheriff Claus
Theorin, Kruger declared that he de-
stroyed his card while hiding at the
home of his mother, and later stole
Shultz' card. He was carrying an au-
tomato pistol when arrested, the
sheriff said.
Kruger did not make any state
ment regarding the resistance which
he and his brother made when officers
attempted to arrest them, other than
to say he ran away from the Kruger
home when the firing commenced. He
learned of the death of his brother
and a member Of the posse, from
newspaper accounts.
