con Kudner, Ronnie's sister, "be-
cause I loved her and hated her"
He said:
II knew could never get her
out Of my blood unless she was
dead. So 1 went there to kill
her"
But Ethel was living with her
husband elsewhere, and Irwin
killed Mrs. Gedeon first, "by acct
dent" while the roomer, Byrnes,
slept. Then Ronnie came home,
and he Strangled her, too, because
she recognized me and would tell
on me-" Then he went into the
room where Byrnes was sleeping
soundly, half convinced that
Byrnes must have been awakened
by the noise and was merely
feigning sleep. He drove an ice
pick into the boarder's brain.
That was the story he repeated
to the police this morning. He
smoked cigarettes ceaSelessly.
When it was decided to post
pone the reenactment until after
daybreak, a cell was prepared for
him in the basement at headquar-
tiers. A 24-hour guard was posted
to keep him under constant sur
veillance when detectives reported

Contained in his statement, the
paper said, was the belief that the

Finally, he lapsed into a light

He smiled broadly, and was placed

Orchids
Rare Blooms ShOU
Iron Ore Beds

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-It may
be orchids to you but it is ore to
prospectors.
Hardboiled prospectors for ore
may soon have to know their Or
chids, according to the American
Iron and Steel Institute.
In many regions in this country
and others, the institute reported,
distinctive vegetation definitely in
dicateS soil condition associated
with deposits of iron ore.
In Brazil and Venezuela iron is
found where a certain type of rare
orchid blooms. And the presence
of a little tree called the "copey"
almost invariably indicates iron
ore deposits, the report stated.
The ore deposits of Cuba sup
port a heavy growth of pine.
In Lake Superior and New York
State iron regions the botanically-
minded prospector is less fortu-
nate, however, because in pre-
historic times a huge ice wave
swept away accumulations of dis
tinctly iron-bearing soil, according
to the report.
In the southern part Of the
United States, which was not over
ridden by glaciers, the outcrop of
lron-bearing formations can be
traced through distinctive vegeta-
ton, it was said.

Now, shovel a charge of fresh

to leave a mound Of live Goals in

them to burn.
Finally, when these gases are
