William j. Carnell, under indictment
along with two companions in BuSh'S
murder, admitted to police Friday night.

Is wanted for evidence in the trial of
Carnell on December Is.
Refuses to Sign Statement.
Carnell who readily makes an oral
admission that he struggled with Bush
in an attempted hold-up on the night
of october 6 in the rear of the bus
owners home. but who refuses to make
q signed confession, told Lieut.. Edward
j. Kelly, assistant chief of detectives,
that he hurled the weapon over the
railing of the bridge two nights after
Bush met his death. Carnell insists
the gun went off during the struggle.
Carnen said he went to the bridge
with friend, whose name he does not
recall, and when they neared the rail-
ing he tossed the gun into the river.
He further stated that he does not
remember at just what point along the
bridge he threw the gun away.
Police said last night that the river
at the point near the bridge is more
than 35 feet deep and that the bottom
of the river is covered with soft mud
which probably explains the futile use
of the magnet.
Carnell, who was returned from Pitts
burgh Friday night, yesterday joined
Frank Mahoney and William c. Mckay,
the two other men indicted in the case,
at the District jail.
Companion Waited In Car.

tectives say, admits that he was the

Frank Mahoney is alleged to have waited
in a nearby alley behind the wheel Of
his automobile.
Mahoney is said by police to have
driven of when he heard the shots
which cost the life of Bush.
Yesterday Carnell was taken to the
District Supreme Court Building for ar

guilty when he faced Justice Peyton
