Ing and startled Capt. Morehesiser by
announcing that he was the much
wanted murderer of Clare Stone, the
eight-year:old schoolgirl whose body
was found on February % In Duncans
woods near the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad
Pitt said quietly; "I am the mur-
derer of Clare Stone. l killed her on
Iuesday, February Fl. I want to sur
render"
Pitt. a slightly built man with red
nalr, who has reputation for being
peculiar, told the police he had tried
to assault the girl and then he shot
The police were inclined to ques-
tion MS confession and suspected his
sanity. but Pitt insisted and ex-
pressed his willingness to show where
ne had hidden the pistol. Pitt said
ne threW the weapon into a clump of
trees and would be able to locate it.
Pitt has been previously under sus-
Day night at the suggestion of a wom-
an who reported to the police she had
seen him lettering near the scene of
the murder
He said tonight that he really want
ed to confess then, but lost his nerve
The desk sergeant was satisfied with
his answers and released him. De-
tectives have since had him under
surveillance. Apparently realizing
this. Pitt. according to his story to-
night. has been under great mental
and nervous stress. He said he had
not eaten or slept since the crime.
No crime which has occurred in Bal
timore in the last twenty-five years
has excited so much interest as this
murder. The theory of the police was
that the girl had been killed at an
other point and her body taken to the
woods in an automobile.
