Los Angeles, Jan. T. -(AP)-A

ried eastward armed with court stip-
ulations permitting them to gather

Attorney Jerome Walsh, accom-

western states in his search. he said.
Boyhood friends, school day ac-
quaintances and other persons who
knew Hickman in his youth, Walsh
declared, would provide the deposit
tions that Hickman's defense-"not
guilty by reason Of insanity"-was
dependent upon.
Walsh yesterday made = demand

Remains Silent
Harold L. Davis, chief deputy
prosecutor, who rejected Walsh's de-
mand, refused to confirm or deny
the existence Of another confession.
Walsh declared he had understood
that District Attorney Asa Keyes
had obtained the second confession
from Hickman while he was being
brought to Los Angeles from Pen.
dleton, Ore, where he was captured.
Keyes at that time read to news
paper men q confession made by
Hickman but retained the manu-.
script. No copies ever were made
available to the press.
Walsh said he believed the second
confession dealt further with mo-
tives for the killing and mutilation
Of the little girl. He insisted he
would resort to the courts in an At

and the second found the other
two, bringing them up shortly be-
fore noon. Three other divers then
were preparing to descend with the
expectation Of finding more bodies
in the same compartment.
The bodies were transferred to
the tender Bushnell pending the
arrival later in the day Of the de-
stroyer Maury, which will take
them back to Boston for removal
to the Chelsea naval hospital for
Identification.
