NEGRO DECLARES
HE KILLED MAN
HERE IN 1922

An asserted confession obtained
from Brady Van, colored. by
Bakersfield police that he killed an
other man in Brawley in 1922 by
beating him in the head with an
axe was being investigated here to-
DAY by Harold Gillett. investigator
for the sheriff's office.
Officers placed little credence in
the confession. since the negro was
taken from the county Jail here six
months ago to the state hospital for
the insane at Patton.
Files, however, disclosed man
was killed north of Brawley and
east of Calipatria in 1923, and that
he had been shot in the head with
a rifle and beaten with an axe His
murderer was never apprehended.
Beside the body when it was
found was a quart of whisky and
the rifle with which he was shot,
but no trace ever was found Of the
axe.
Complete details Of the 1923 kill
ing were sent by teletype to Bakers
field police, with a request they
check Vans story against the ac-
tual facts, to determine if he was
for the killing.
