PANzRAM RELATES
MURDER DETAILS.
Tells Police Of Staying of
Two Other Boys in Minute
Confession.

Following his detailed account of the
murder last August of Alexander Lus-
zock, 14-year-old newsboy of Philadel-
phia in which he went into details SO
clear that little doubt is left as to the sim
cerity of his confession, Carl PanZram
a prisoner at the District Jail, last night
made detailed confessions to Lieut.. Ed
ward j. Kelly of the Detective Bureau
homicide squad of the murders of two
other boys, one in Salem, Mass, and
che other in New London or New
Haven, Conn.,, which he previously ad-
mitted.
Like the confession in the Philadel-
phia case, Panzram last night went into
details that authorities feel he must
nave gotten from actual contact ana
not from reading newspaper accounts.
Typewriter copies of the two con-
fessions made last night are today being
prepared in the Office of Maj. William
e. Peake, superintendent of the jail.
Lieut.. Kelly is off duty today and Maj.
Peake said that he felt obligated to keep
their text a secret until they have been
turned over to the detective.
First Believed Hoax.
Panzram's first confessions to having
murdered two boys, one in Philadelphia
and the other near Salem, Mass, were
thought for some time to be merely an
effort to escape trial here on two house
breaking cases, for which he Is now held.
Massachusetts, detectives came here 10
question him, but left when he refused
to say anything to them, after having
made confession to Maj. Peake and
Headuuarters Detective Richard Mans
field that he murdered boy near
CharIestown. They stated that they
will seek an indictment there for the
murder of Henry Mcmahon, IL years
old, whose body was found in the posi-
ton described by Panzram in his con-
feSsion.
When the body of Uszacke was found
it was in such condition that identif1-
cation was impossible. Buried in the
potter'S field in the Pennsylvania city,
the body was eXhumed after Panzrams
story was made public and identified.
Body Wrapped in Blanket.
When found, the boys body was
wrapped in a blanket and had with it
some pieces of radio set, situation
that Panzram had already revealed
when he said that he forced the youth
to assist him in the theft of the articles
from a yacht in the Delaware River,
afterward wrapping the boy in one of
the blankets and breaking up the radio
set He also described how he had left
the boys tennis shoes tied together
near the body. Police say they found
them there.
The Philadelphia police who yester-
day talked with Panzram left last night
for that city to start action that is ex-
pected to bring Panzram to trial for
murder in that city. Nothing more has
been heard from Massachusetts au-
thorities.
Following his three confessions Panz-
ram is said to have told investigators
that he has committed a number of
other murders, and that he will confess
to them only when he Is placed on trial
for one Of the killings to which he has
already confessed.
StrangIed Boy to Death.
Included in Connecticut confession,
it was revealed, was statement to the
effect that he met 16-year-old boy on
the road. The boy was wearing thick
glasses. After buying the youth some
thing to eat they went into the woods,
where he waited for the boy to con-
sumo the food and then strangled him
to death.
He enjoyed that murder more than
any of the others. he is quoted as hav-
ing said, because the boy had previously
told him that he had relative who was
on the police force in Brooklyn, N. Y.
Panzram's brother, farmer of neap
Seattle, Wash, has engaged NJ. j.
Lane, an attorney with Offices in the
Columbian Building, to defend his
brother. Lane said today that he will
block every move to extradite his
client. Although he feels that Panz-
ram is insane, he said, he will talk
with him again today.
