By United Press
NEW YORK, April "A double
murder so deity executed police

an autopsy revealed the two women
victims had been criminally as
saulted. was solved today by equally
deft detective work.
An ex-Army many of IA years
service confessed killing his 68-year-
old motner-in-law and her grand
daughter, 10, in their home Sunday
night. His statement lacked full
details. but he did not deny acts he
said he could not remember COM
hitting. The victims were Mrs.
Nora Kelly and Miss Florence Nc
Vey.
The confession was made by
Thomas Mcfarland, 80. Hours be-
fore he was taken into custody de-
tectives knew he had been in the
aged woman's home at the approx
mate hour of the double murder.
They concealed this fact and to lull
McFarland's suspicion rounded up
other relatives Of the victims for
questioning.
After four hours of questioning,
Mcfarland told of going to the
home of Mrs. Kelly about 8 o'clock
Sunday night. He said he had a
bottle of sherry wine and his drink

plane Is constantly used.
Well. Two young naval aviators
1.lo were depending upon little
calls OF dampened cotton TO save
their ears. we're fearful that this
method wasn't quite good enough.
Finally. one Of them got an idea.
Come with me- he ordered his
companion.
Il short walk brought them to a
drug store. In here, said the in
ventor Of ideas And in they
went. The leading pilot headed for
the cosmetic counter but he
stopped short when ne saw two or
three attractive young women at
the counter. The two young flyers
shifted hesitantly from one foot TO
the other while the fair customers
ahead Of them bought lipstick, rouge
and powder.
All the while the Inventor Of
Ideas was growing more embar-
raised. and his companion more
puzzled. Finally the young women
were served and departed. Then
there vas another girl to face-the
clerk.
DO you wish something's" she
asked the first pilot.
