 "On the night of February 25 I went to the K. & s. Auto Renting Agency with lazy Lewis, hired Q Cadillac car and picked up Harry Stein and Samuel Greenberg. Eng fish then left us and we drove to the Bronx and picked a spot for the killing. Then we drove Stein back to 38th street and Third avenue and returned to the Bronx, waiting at Grand avenue for Stein to return with Vivian Gordon, Stein and Vivian returned. That made three of us in the car with her:-Stein. Greenberg and myself.
 "Steln got her to come with him by telling her Greenberg had $250,- 900 in uncut stones on his person. She and Stein were going to take him for them. She was to play up to Greenberg and Stein was to get the stones. I drove around on Sedgwick avenue while Stein made the rope moose and she talked to Greenberg. Stein then slipped the moose over her head and threw her to the floor, and Greenberg and held her with our feet while Stein pulled the rope tight.
 "She cackled just. once.
 'The car had been stopped by this time. So when we drove back to Van Cortlandt Parkway, stopped the car and Stein and Greenberg carried the body into the bushes, after they and slipped off the coat, watch, ring and purse. When we returned to the car we found one slipper which we threw away"
 He then told how they returned the car to the agency and how, later, Stein sold the fur coat and the jewelry and gave him a total of $275 for driving the car.
 Mulrooney called the obtaining of the confession lone of the best pieces of detective work in many, many years.
 Authorities indicated Schlitten would receive immunity for turning states evidence.

(Continued from Page 1) at the close of the mythical war fare.
 During the Boston activities, 3S additional ships secuted the skies or northeastern Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.
 An enormous crowd lined the shores of Dorchester Bay early this afternoon when the demonstration plane group, fresh from Boston air. port, appeared over the official re- viewing stand near the L Street baths.
 High army and navy officials, state and city dignitaries, and other hon. or. guests were assembled there to watch this greatest of all air shows.
 Directing the maneuvers by radio from the air was General Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff. He, with Major General James F. Fechet, chief of the air corps, and Major General Henry Riley, retired, had taken off from Boston airport few minutes before the demonstration planes swung into action. It was the first time that General MacAr- thur had directed such maneuvers from the air.
 The demonstration group, includ- ing nine bombers, IF attack ships. and IS pursuit planes. circled the reviewing stand for 10 r.linutes.
 Then the attack planes. flying wing to wing low over the waters of the bay. demonstrated how they cover their approach. As they dropped to e low altitude the ter. rife speed which they maintained was emphasized.
 As the attack entered It's final stage, the iS tiny pursuit ships. with engines wide open and pfopellers whlrring noisIly, darted out of the sky about a mile above and. in q series of assaults. drove the attack group Of the area.
 The nine bombers, in shifting f0rs nations, then paraded Co demoD. strate approaches Of raids when they are carrying two tons Of bombs.
 Again there were tho wasp.ilke attacks Of the sleek pursuit planes. The big b0mbers dipped and twist ea io avoid these charges and Ansi' iy retreated. -
