Besides her husband, she is survived by two children, mother, father, and three brothers.

Here, in brief. is how Hickman's
gruesome confession was obtained:
No attempt was made to question
the prisoner at any time during the
first day and night on the train.
This was for two reasons: First,
because he was just recovering from
the special ''fit" he threw for the
benefit of the Los Angeles officers
the night before at Pendleton. The
second reason was that the Los An
6geles authorities did not want to seek
the confession Of Hickman until
they were down In their own State,
