Hoax Angle Studied
In Student Suicides
Murder Confessions
by the Assoeiotsd Press

FAYETTEVILLE. Ark, Nov. g.
Was University of Kansas. fresh
man really Texarkanais notorious
phantom" killer, or was his suicide
note merely a bizarre hoax?
Authorities hoped to learn the
answer today as they continued an
investigation of the poison death
of H. B. (Doodie) Tennison, 10, of
Texarkana, Ark.
For two years police of two States
have been unable to solve five slay-
ings at the State-line city. All slay-
ings were attributed to phantom" i"
Tennison was found dead in his
room here last, night. He left a
signed note admitting three of the
mysterious deaths. No motive was
given.
Contents Of Note.
Sheriff Bruce Crider said the note,
found in strongbox, read in part:
why did take my own life?
You may be asking that question.
Well, when you committed two
double murders you would CO. Yes,
did kill Betty 10 Booker and Paul
Martin in the city park that night,
and kill Mr.. Stark and tried to get
Mrs. Stark. You wouldn't have
guessed 1t, did it when mother was
either out or asleep, and no one
saw me do 1t. For the guns, I dis
asimbled them and discarded them
in different places"
Mrs. Ella Lea MCGEE, the students
iandlady, found the body. A poem
was on the dresser. 1t contained a
riddle which it said, if solved, would
give the combination to a strong
box. Officers broke the box open
and found Tennison's confession"
note.
Suggest Headline.
Police said other messages-in-
cluding one suggesting newspaper
headline about his death-also were
found in the room.
Coroner Edmond Watson con-
firmed Sheriff Orders finding that
the youth took poison.
The phantom" slayings, all oc-
curing at night within a six-week
period, terrified the Texarkana COM
munity for weeks.
The first victims attributed to
the phantom" were Richard Griffin,
20, and Polly Ann Moore, II, found
shot to death on the outskirts of
Texarkana, March "a, 1946.
On April IA, two high school stu
dents, Paul Martin, II, and Betty
Jo Booker, were found shot fatally,
near the same spot.
Fired Through Window.

shot to death in his farm home in
Miller County. Ark. near Texarkana.
Mrs. Starks, who was wounded seri-
ously, said the gunman fired through
q window. Authorities ran down
every meager clew without success.
No reference was made in the note
to the deaths of Mr.. Griffin and
Miss Moore or the nonfatal attack
