Jumping frSm the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief. who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in!

Say I'm growing old, but add,
Jenny kissed me-.

 Year-Old Prisoner Tells Reporters Who Interview Him in Cell.
Los Angeles Police Records Give Authorities Leads to Andrew Cramer and June Cunning. Whom Youth Names as Ones Who Helped Him in Ransom Plot.

Pcndleton, Ore. Dec. o3 P'--Nll- liam Edward Hickman today chung firmly 10 his story that he was not the murderer of Marian Parker 2 wear old school girl whom he kid naped in Los Angeles.
 T know that I am not guilty ot murder and l am perfectly calm, the l9 year old prisoner told news papermen who interviewed him in his cell in the city jail here.
 Hickman reiterated that his only part in the case was the abduction of the girl and the delivery of the torso to the father, Perry VI. Par ker, bank official in exchange for s1.5o0 ransom after Cramer had brought the body of the child to him in a suitcase.
 A picture Of driving through the streets of Los Angeles with news boys crying extras about the kid napiug while he had Marian with him in his car was given by Nick man.
 We were driving out in Holly wood Friday night when my Car was stopped by a traffic light he said. Marian was beside me and the newsboys waved their papers close by us. Marian seemed 10 be amused by this.
 I've got along very well together. It was not my intention that she should be harmed. In fact I loved her. still love her"
 Denies Statement
 No I never said that" Hickman replied. The only reference ] made 10 poison or anaesthctic was in tell ing of the drug store holdups which were committed before the kidnap- ing. She was not poisoned
 Hickman was questioned about an apparent inconsistency in his con- fession of yesterday In which he stated that he and his confederate first planned to kidnap the little daughter of Harry Hoves chief tell CT of the Los Angeles bank at Wllch Hickman had been employed. Re minded that Hoves had no such child, Hickman had a ready reply
 T saw a woman calling on MT Eoves at the bank and she had with her a little girl. l supposed that the little girl was his child. To prove that l was planning this kid naping, I will say that on the Mon- day night before l took Marian from school I went out to MT. Hoves house in Pasadena and waited there ir my car to look over the ground MT. Hoves came to the house while I was there and he can confirm that he saw my car there that night. heard a child's voice.

 He wept when told Edward had confessed. He said he last saw his son here in 1926 when Edward graduated with a brilliant record from high school here.

 ing to kill Edward. We live in the
