Brought From East.
by United Press Leased Wire


LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10 TWO
were under arrest here and 10
others were sought in Canada today
in connection with the asserted
murder of four Los Angeles county
youths.
The actual slayer, according to
police. was Stuart Northcott, 20,
a degenerate, who abused the boys
before he killed them. He was be-
lievcd to be in Canada.
His alleged victims were Louis
and Nelson Winslow, II and 10, of
Pomona, Walter Collins. .. Of Los
Angeles, and an unidentified Mexi-
can lad.
Sanford Clark, -, a relative of
Northcott, was responsible for the
revelation of the murders all of
which took place on a chicken ranch
near Corona, he said.
Clark was held here as n material
witness and cyrus George Northcott,
father of the alleged degenerate,
was arrested with him.
In addition to the younger North
colt, his mother, Mrs. Louise North
colt, WAS sought in Canada.
Clark was taken into custody on
advice Of his sister in Saskatoon,
Canada. Several days ago she wired
local officials that her brother was
III the hands of the younger North
cott and a victim of his degeneracy.
Reveals Murders
Under questioning Clark told of
the four murders and subsequent
/ investigation led to partial veri-
fication of his story.
According to Clark, he was smug-
gled across the Canadian border by
the degenerate two years ago. Since
that time he was the victim of at
tacks but was forced to keep quiet
because of fear.
Northcott's parents bought their
son the chicken ranch in an at
tempt to Straightcn him out.
Instead of that, Clark said, tho
degenerate kidnapped the Winslow
boys and, after abusing them for
a week, killed them because he fear
ed to let them 90 home.
Their graves were dug before
they were murdered with an axe,
hc said.
Young Collins Included
The parents Of the Winslow
youths identified a cap found at
the chicken ranch as one worn by
the younger of their sons.
The Mexican youth was the next
murdered, Clark said His head was
buried at the chicken ranch and
his body later was found on tho
highway near Puente.
One Of the most amazing parts
OF Clark 5 story was that the fourth
victim was Walter Collins.
Young Collins disappeared from
his mother 5 home here months ago.
After a nationwide search he as
scrtedly was located in De Kalb,
Illinois, and returned here.
When he was brought before Mrs.
Collins she denied that he was her
son. After several days she finally
took him into her home but she
never was convinced of his idcn-
tity.
Several days ago she asked that
he be made Il ward of Juvenile
court.
The refusal Of the mother to re-
r,!rlve this youth aS her son was be-
heVed to add strength to Clark s
story
Murder charges have been sworn
against Northcott and his mother
and all Canadian authorities have
been asked to search for them.
