 A statement was read into the records avowed to have been made by Rhodes to the police, admitting that he cut the girls throat with a razor.
 The killing as recorded in the statement, was committed impul- sively in a fit of jealousy as he was bidding the young dancer good night outside her home on their return from a motion picture theater and she bantered with him about other boys she might see during the Easter holidays.
 Rhodes said he was not aware he had slashed the girl fatally, as she ran to her mothers home nearby after the attack, and he did moi know she was dead until two days later when he read the story of the killing in the newspapers. He then surrendered to the police. Rhodes was remanded for a week.
