AWAIT PRINCIPALS
| IN FARM MURDERS
California Officials Suspend
Probe Until Mother and Son
Are Returned.

BY this Associated Pfess.
LOS ANGELES, September 20.-The
search for human bones and other evil
sdence to substanttate the sinister story
OF the Northcott murder farm was
temporarily suspended today by south
ern California officers pending return
here of the principals in the case,
2i-year-old youth and his mother, who
were arrested in Canada yesterday.
The center of activity in the case
shifted to the Riverside County dis
trict attorneys office, which began ex-
tradition proceedings against Gordon
Stuart Northcott and his mother, Mrs.
Louisa Northcott, who have been sought
for nearly week. The former mas
been named as the slayer of at least
four boys on his chicken farm at River
side. Murder charges have been brought
here against both.
Certain of Principals.
Authorities here were confident that
the youth arrested in Vernon, British
Columbia. and the woman held in CAL
gary. Alberta, are the two principals
named in the story of torture and nur-
der told by their young relative, San
ford Clark.
Immediately following reports of the
arrest Rex Walsh, Los Angeles city
chemist. reported that samples of stain
ed earth from shallow graves found
on the Northcott farm revealed traces
of human blood.
Last night authorities were informed
that boy, brought here from De Kalb
Ill. under the identity of Walter Col
Inns. kidnapped here months before, had
admitted that he was not the abducted
youth, and that his assumption OF
young Collins name was hoax.
Walter Collins, nine years old. was
named by young Clark as one OF the
four bows abused and then murdered
on the Northcott farm.
Own Name Unknown.
Amitting his deceit the boy here
said he did not know his own name,
and that his only knowledge of Walter
Collins was from what he had learned
through newspaper accounts and from
talking with people in Sycamore. Ill. ;,
The boy previously had convinced
police that he was Walter Collins. and
his mother, after her refusal to admit
he was her boy, was held in the psy.
chopathic ward of the general hospltai
for observation.
Prior to the chemists report officers
had unearthed bones on the Northcott
farm which palelontologists identlned
as human bones The murder charge
against Northcott and his mother was
based on the death of an undermined
Mexican boy, whose headless body was
found recently near Puente. CALI.
Clark said Northcott who is his uncle,
Killed the Mexican youth with the
knowledge of Northcott's mother.
