Oil is a vital fuel used in the manufacture

NEGRO CONFESSES
PULLMAN MURDER
(continued from Page y


After the party, he continued in
the second confession, he put on an
Overcoat, over his white working
clothes, and went back to the pull
man In which Mrs. James occupied
lower 10. He pushed aside the cur
tains, crawled in, straddling her
prone, sleeping form, police quoted
him.
AS he was trying to snap the cur
tains together, Mrs. James awak-
ened.
sShe wanted to know who I was
and told me to get out" police quot
I ed him. He placed the point Of a
bonang knife against her chin, hold
ing 1t with one hand, continued
working with the curtains with the
other. II told her to keep still {.
she hollered and tried to throw me
out. So cut her."
Folkes said he had thrown the
knife away. Police found a boning
knife in his baggage. His overcoat
was being subjected to chemical
analysis for blood stains.
Other passengers In the train were
awakened by a piercing scream.
Then they heard Mrs. James cry
out: my God! He's killing me-" A
Marine private in the berth above
poked out his head and saw a burly
sdark" man disappear down the
aisle, into the heavy shadows Of
the dimly lighted car. Then Mrs.
James body, her throat slit and
her night gown wet with her own
blood, tumbled into the aisle.
Folkes was charged with first de-
cree murder In Albany, Ore, seat OF
the county in which Mrs. James
was killed, even before he confessed
tale drst time. Sherift'S deputies
arrive today to take him there.
Police involved FolkeS in mnu-
unerable contradictions as to his
movements Immediately before the
murder and this caused them to
continue questioning him. He, like
an other members of the train crew,
Was merely being subjected to a
routine examination when the train
completed its run here. AS he got
deeper and deeper into discrepan-
cies, Folkes said he knew the iden-
tity of the slayer but felt obligated
to protect him because he had d
wife and children. He said then
that he was the killer, then thought
better of 1t, going back to his pro-
tective role. Finally, he said that II
he was permitted to see his wife
he might be able to provide an 'im-
p0rtant clew." He saw his wife,

said. 1.-TWO hospitals were set atire"
An indication that two or more
important German war plants had
been blasted.
German reports on yesterdays
raids had followed the usual pat
tern. OF the heavy American raid
on Wilhelmshaven and Emden,
which cost only three planes, they
said that damage was only insig-
nificant aside from civilian build
ings and that eight planes were
downed at least. However, 1t called
the Copenhagen raid, which did not
involve any German naval bases, a
terror raid. Berlin said one British
plane was shot down.
A United Press Stockholm dis
patch filed shortly after the raid
said that q factory and a workshop
were hit and that fires were start
ed. 1t reported four persons known
killed and IS wounded.
Reliable sources reported that the
United States Army fortresses which
raided Wilhelmshaven and the Lib
orators which raided Emden, two of
the heaviest-defended areas of Ger
many, carried new and heavier arm
ament in their noses, the only part
the Germans had found vulnerable,
which accounted for the amazingly
light losses.
It was the 10th attack on Will
helmshaven since the war started,
and the first since last Oct. 20
when Mosquito planes made a low
level daylight attack.
Fluke Proves Costly
Only by a fluke did the American
bombers miss the chance of an at
tack on a German fleet headed by
a pocket battleship or heavy cruiser.
The IS ships in the formation were
sighted, steaming toward port, Just
after the last bomb had been drop
ped.
Only one Mosquito plane was miss
ing in the British Copenhagen raid
In which shipyards working for the
Germans were the targets. In their
customary manner the Mosquitoes
dropped to low levels to loose their
bombs and the crews say many
burst squarely in the yards.
Mustang, Spitf1re and Typhoon
fighters during the day attacked
railroad targets all over northwest
ern France and damaged many loco.
motives.
Yesterdays raid was the first Of
the war on German soil by Ameri-
can planes manned by Americans
and the British raid on Copenhagen
was the first of the war on that
German occupied capital.
The Copenhagen yards are build
ing Diesel motors and submarines.
One yard has the second biggest
Diesel factory in the world.
Only recently government spokes-
men had been asked in commons
why Copenhagen had not been
bombed, and one answered:
1.-THE question Is under discussion
and will be answered in the near
future"
The Mosquitoes are Britain's fast
est bombers, but the light losses OF
both the American and British all
forces were attributed to a complete
surprise of the German defenseS.
An air ministry observer said thai
sheets Of flame were seen to shoot
I'D from the Diesel works at Copen'
hagen for hundreds of feet.

ever took part in," said Wing Con1dr
