 Asked for the details concerning the burial of three youths, North colt told Mrs. Collins and Mrs Wins low to question Mrs. Northcott and young Clark.
 The investigation which uncover ed Northcott's alleged crimes began August 31, 1928, when his nicer, Jessie Clark. asked immigration au- thorities to deport her brother, San ford Clark, to Canada. Northcott fled to Canada after officers visited the ranch.
 Young Clark told authorities Northcott had abused and slain three boys. Officers visited the ranch and found shallow graves containing bones and quicklime.
 The murder of a Mexican youth whose decapitated body had been found at Puente. Calif., several weeks previously, also was laid to Northcott.
 Confesses, Repudiates Story
