PATRON ADMITS
GAMBLING SHIP
81 LAY|N n 6

LONG BEACH, Calf, Sept. 81
'UN.S0.-Under grilling by Off
GERS, a patron Of the gambling
ship Johanna Smith confessed to-
day that he shot and killed Nor
man Lorraine, Baltimore seaman,
on the ship last night, Long Beach
police said.
The confession was said to have
been made after the killer, whose
name was not disclosed, attempted
to make his way ashore in a boat
load Of patrons who we're forced
to go back to the gambling vessel.
Death Gun Found
A few minutes later, the death
gun was found on the ship and
the suspect, informed that his
fingerprintS were to be compared
with prints on the death gun,
admitted the killing.
More than 200 persons, 100 Of
them gay revelers of last night,
were imprisoned aboard the gam
bling ship off Long Beach while
Federal Department of Justice
agents and Long Beach police
looked for the assassin.
Lorraine, a gaping bullet wound
In his chest and another in his
stomach, was found dying shortly
on deck. He expired on a boat
gushing him to a shore hospital.
He never spoke a word that
would give clue to his slayer.
Seventy-five patrons of the
gambling ship were at first
granted permission to go ashore,
but before their boat could reach
the breakwater it was overhauled
by q police officer and was
headed back into the fog for the
gambling ship.
so Suspects
The remainder were still held
on the ship, and SO of them were
claSsed by Police Lieut.. Clifford
Peterson OF Long Beach as def
mite suspects.
It was the second murder
aboard a gambling ship here in
less than a month, the third in a
little more than ayea and a
second on the same ship where
death struck last night.
One man aboard another gam
bling ship, the Monte Carlo, about
johanna Smith, said he heard the
shots. He was held at Long Beach
police station temporarily for fur
ther questioning, and his name
was withheld.
People were dining in one part
Of the boat and others were dane
ing. Most of those on board we're
in the gambling salon, where con.
versation buzzed, croupiers called
out the numbers in their sing
song monotone and the winners
shouted with glee. But no one
admitted hearing the shots.
Shells Discovered
Four empty .25-caliber auto
matte pistol shells were found
near Lorraine'S body. The slayer
apparently fired point blank,
On the dead mans body was
found .38-caliber automatic. It
had not been fired, but the safety
catch was off. Evidently, the in
veStigatorS said, Lorraine feared
death and was ready with his gun,
but he never had chance to draw
the weapon.
