 Admitting Her Crime
BY HARRY FERGUSON UInitod presS Staff COrresnOndent

Philadelphia, Nov. 24-(UP)-Po- lice and a psychiatrist searched the past of athletic Mary Keenan O'Connor today in an attempt to determine whether some twisted streak in her makeup might have driven her to kill Nancy Glenn, 5, with two blows of her fists and leave the child's body in a mud puddle. The O'Connor girl, l9 years old. and known to her classmates at exclusive Immaculate College as "Tarzan" because of her athletic ability, was held in Moyamensing prison on technical charge oi homicide. At hearing on Monday police will decide whether they VIII charge. her with murder. Police sald she was recently a patient at the Mental Diseases Department ol Pennsylvania hospital.

Wilson, prominent pSy- chiatrist, but it was pointed out that pr. George B. Wilson, prominent psychiarist, had a chance yesterday to keep an eye on the jaunty MISS O'Connor.
 Makes Two Confessions
 Miss O'Connor allegedly has made two confessions of the crime. Detec- lives are puzzled by the motive given in both of them. The alleged contes- sions state that Miss O'Connor Killed Nancy merely because the child in- sisted on being taken for ride on bicycle. Unless the killing was done merely out of burst of anger, police believe there might be deeper motive.
 A pretty blonde member of the 1886 American Olympic team - Mrs. Marie Phillips, a gymnaSt was arrested and later released on bail as A material witness. She told how Miss O'Connor had come to her home, carrying newspapers filled with details of the killing, and confessed the crime.

WARNING TO FARMERS-POOR
SEED ON MARKET

A warning has been sounded TO
Ohio farmers by Earl H. Hanefeld,
state director of agriculture, against
the purchasing of seed potatoes ad-
vertised by some unscrupulous out
of-state dealers as certified. This
warning, if needed, will save Ohio
producers thousands of dollars at
harvest time. Hanefeld pointed out
that it is illegal, under Ohio law, to
offer seed potatoes for sale i'll con-
tainers marked in any manner that
would lead the buyer to believe that
such potatoes were certified by
truly authorized certification agency,
unless such was actually the case.
The Ohio agricultural seed law was
passed for the purpose of protecting
producers of this state against the
dangers of worthless seed. At this
season of the year, with spring
planting in progress, every Ohio
farmer should familiarize himself
with the provisions of this law IN
order that he may have the protec-
ton to which he is entitled. This
law reads in part as follows:
'.Certified'' and certain other
words; when applied to seed. No
person shall use, orally or in writ
| ing, relative to any agricultural
seeds, or any tubers for seeding
purposes, or plants, sold or adver-
tised or offered for sale in this state,
the term certified" alone or with
other words or shall SO use any 9TH
er term or form of words which sug-
gests that there has been inspection
i1a JnIQCE
such seed tubers, or plants have
been certified by an inspection agen-
cy designated as hereinafter provid
ed If such seed, tubers or plants
were produced in another state or
foreign country, certification by the
legally constituted inspection Off
cials of such state or country or OF
the United States shall be sufficient.
If produced within the state of Ohio,
inspection and certification shall be
