Panzram's Description of
Staying of Massachusetts
Boy Supported by Police.

That Carl Panzram, who is held in
the District Jail to await trial on two
charges of HOUSEKEEPING here, may have
been telling the truth when he con-
fessed several weeks ago to the muir
der" of two boys, one near Boston and

Macomb street, where he is alleged to
have taken a radio set and several
thousands of dollars worth of jewelry.

After he had been held in jail for
some time, he sent for Maj. Peake, SUI
perintendent of the jail, and said he
wanted to confess to the murder of

story.
According to Maj. Peake, PanZram,
when he learned that his story was not
credited, wrote letters to the States at
torneys in both Philadelphia and Bos-
ton, in which he insisted that he had
committed murders in both places.
When questioned as to the motive for
the murders, his reply was:
1.-The State will be able to prove the
motive"
Panzram said he had done time in

AIDS SEARCH FOR

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June
2S.-Slowly clearing skies through
the great Arctic area today brought
hope that search might soon start
for 81 lost explorers.
Three days of unfavorable wealth
er have prevented flights over the
Arctic wastes where three separate
parties are lost.
Fears grew hourly that part of
this group of 2l might never be
heard from.
Six were in the dirigible Italia
when it sailed away, a victim of the
winds. One group of nine men were
left on the ice with their shattered
gondola. Three of the men who
landed on the ice, headed by Finn
Melmgren, started walking towards
relief.
They have been gone about four
weeks now.
Nothing has been heard of Roald
Amundsen and the five members of
his expedition that set out by air
plane from Tromose early this
month. The six men remaining on
the ice, from which Umberto Mobile
was rescued, still await rescue eth
er by airplane or by ice cutter.

HOUSTON, Texas, June %. =
Several battered heads, bruised
arms and mashed toes-and wo-
man s dishevelled hat-bore witness
today to one of the 'fightingest
Democratic conventions in history.
Hot southern blood stood respon-
sible for a series of fights in five
southern state delegations in con-
vention hall, all precipitated by
varying sentiment over Governor
Alfred f. Smith.
But since there was no actual
blood spilled and the fight was con-
fined to the solid south, which al
ways goes Democratic, there prob
ably will be no lasting i'll effects
on the party.
The day of fighting came to
climax last night during the Smith
demonstration when Mississippians
got so mad at each other that they
mixed up in two real scraps and one
mere scruffle which was overlooked.
Delegates from North Carolina,
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia,
who had fought it out in the day IS
first session, were too tired to mix
! it up again, and merely looked on.
