CHURCH s AIDE
IN AUTO DEATHS
ADMITS GUILT
Leon Parks, Pal Of Chicago

Accomplish Sought.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.--Harvey w.
Church, confessed murderer Of Der.

tional confession. in which he admits
he had two confederates In the kill.
ings. One Of the men--Leon Parks
lis under arrest. The name and
address Of the other 10 known and
the police are searching for him.
In Parks alleged confession as
given out by the police, he said that
he was in the house when Church
entered with Dausherty. His state
nent as given out by the police
follows In part:
pistol. ! had been hiding. and when
his hands were up. came out and
Church kept him covered while ]
put the handcuffs on his wrists.
Then we forced him to walk down
stairs into the basement, Church
doing ahead. AZ we Raced the bot.
tom OF the stairs, I hit him with q
baseball bat and he fell down. He
struggled and we both beat him.
Then Church cut his throat. We did
the tame thing with Ausmus. who
had been waiting outside In the car.
and who came In to find out what
was OBTAINING Daugherty."
The police believe they will be able
to trace a number Of recent serious
crimes to Church and his accom-.
plices.
Jokes At Inquest.
Church joked and laughed today
at the inquest over them. He paled
a bit when he was forced. to look
at the mutilated bodies laid out on
slabs in q room adjoining that in
which the inquest was held. and ap'
peared q trifle nervous when a de-
tective sergeant idly swung the
bloody baseball bat with which
Church says he beat the men to
death.
A coroner's jury yesterday after
noon charged both murders to
Church, and recommended that he
be held without bail.
Outside q vast mob was gathered,

clamoring for his death. Police re-
serves were called TO club a path
through this crowd 80 Church could
be taken to a cell at the Warren
Avenue Station. and at this point
another angry mob had collected. The
police found II necessary to beat a
way through these people before
Church could be taken inside.
Aged Mother Collapses.
Another development 10 the serious
physical and mental condition Of the
prisoners aged mother. She was told
yesterday afternoon Of his confession
and Immediately collapsed. Physicians
are alarmed over her condition and
say she may not survive many hours.
There have been hints that she
knew OF the crimes; not that she par.
ticipated In the actual killing, but
that she assisted In disposing of the
bodies In order to shield her son. Her
utter collapse when told of his confess
sion puts much doubt upon the theory
that she had any knowledge Of the
murders.
1t is regarded rs certain that Church
had several accomplices. No one be.
heves his story that two men, either
or whom could easily have worsted
him in q physical encounter, tamely
submitted while he handcuffed Or
roped them and then beat them to
death.
Prisoner Admits Lying.
At the close OF the inquest yester-
day Church admitted he had not told
the truth.
Church is probably the coolest and
most unconcerned criminal the police
have ever dealt with. He appears to
rave no conception whatever Of the
enormity Of his crimes. but boasts
that he has always been model

As photographers took numerous
pictures of him yesterday at the in
quest and at the station he insisted
upon smiling and being permitted to
arrange his hair becomingly.
Church, youthful slayer of Bernard

stepped from the cellar where his
two garroted and tortured victims
lay, into the new automobile he had
bought with two human lives. and
went joyriding with two men and
three young women, Chief of Police
Fitzmorris revealed today.
Chief ritzmorris' revelation came
at time when the States Attorneys
office practically was convinced that
woman-believed to be a near
relative-had assisted Church either
in the slaughter confessed to, or
in disposing OF the bodies.
