CONFESSION MADE PUBLIC

Oakland, Dec. 26. lP)-Hickman has confessed that he alone killed twelve year old Marion Parker the day after he kidnapped her. single ilande<i. In his confession for the anriyale<i, detailed brutality by a nineteen year old youth, he said, he st,angled the child with piano wire and cut her body into pieces in the bath tub in his Belleview apartment in Los Angeles. After the strangling Hickman said he realized he must have the body 10 produce to the girls father or he would not be able to collect the ransom, so he devised the scheme of rigging her eyelids with wire to prop her head up and make it appear she was alive.
 The confession completely elimi- hated the mythical accomplice Cramer for whom the police have been searching since the youth made his first confession. He had no aid in the single handed piece of work in his latest confession and it is revealed that it removes from Hickman the last shield upon which he relied to save him from the gallows.
 When he goes before the Super for Court at Los Angeles, Ee will ro through the formality of enter ing the plea of murder and kid mapping based on his signed con fessions concerning the maze of mystery which Hickman fought through over killing the little girl, and which vas torn away from him in the course of grilling he underwent while on special car while he was being taken to Los Angeles. and while nearing San Francisco Hickman gave his req sons for killing the girl. II was afraid she would make noise. The confession was wrung from him behind locked nd closely guarded 6oors of the compartment of the special railroad car. the questioning by the Los Angeles officers proceeded.
