where the death sentence might be
recommended if Crawford were found
guilty, and in exchange for the sem
tence to be imposed today he offered
to obtain information which might
lead to the arrest of an accomplice
Crawford claimed was with him the
night of the murders. Crawford in
sisted the other man actually did the
crimes. He said he acted as look
out at the back door of the cottage
on Mrs Ilsleys estate where she was
killed.
Prosecutor Galleher said this morn
ing Houston had been exceedingly
helpful in obtaining facts to aid the
search for the alleged accomplice,
and that Crawford had supplied in
formation willingly as he promised
he would if allowed to receive the
life sentence for Mrs. Buckner's mur-
der.
Crawford was hurried to Leesburg
this morning by a heavily armed
guard of State police. Following the
arraignment and plea before Judge
