The Nome nugget., 1958-12-17

At the San Diego police sta-. tion, officers said they got de- tailed confession from the youth whom Pendergast had picked up as hitchhiker six weeks ago and taken into his home because he. felt sorry for him.
 They said Eder told them he be- came angry because one of the children, Diane, was making a lot of noise. He, stormed into the bed room and threw the girl on the floor, cutting her head.
 Mrs. Pendergast rushed up, took the child into the bathroom to- bandage her and told Eder to call doctor. Instead, the youth got a pistol from the garage and came back and shot the mother.
 He killed Diane and her brother Allen, 2, by cutting their throats with hunting knife. And when David, g, and Tom, 6, came home from school, he killed them the same way.
 He was waiting outside when Pendergast came home from his job as an aircraft worker and forced him to drive him toward San Diego before the, father had a chance to enter the, house and find out what had happened.
 He left Pendergast at a service station in San Diego. About the man who had befriended him he said: q didn't want to kill him. He's been real good to me-"

Youth Confronts California Friend Whose Wife, Children He Butchered

SAN DIEGO, Calif., R - Thom- as Pendergast stared at the lanky pimply faced youth who had jus: confessed staying Pendergast's wife and four children.
 "Why did you do it?" he screamed. 'They were all I had in the world"
 Young Carl Eder slumped in his chair at the police station. His mouth opened and shut several times but no sound came out.
 Finally he blurted: T didn't want to, Tom"
 The meeting between Fender gast and the 16-year-old runaway New Pork youth he had befriended came Monday night after Eder had been captured in a beach community "a few miles north of San Diego.
 Police had been looking for him since Friday when the bodies of Mrs. Lois tPendergast, 37, and her four children were found in their home. The mother had been shot, the children slashed and stabbed with a knife.
 The 6-foot-3 teen-ager, whose description. had been widely broad cast, was recognized by a resident of Mission Beach and arrested by an off-duty policeman and life guard. After a brief show of de- fiance the boy started crying and admitted he was Eder and that he had killed Mrs. Pendergast and the children.

Sen. Morse Fires
 His Republican Gardener

EUGENE, Ore, R - Because he was Republican and liked Ike, ID. F. Pickert said, he was fired as a part-time caretaker by Senator Wayne Morse D-Ore).
 "It was just the idea I was Republican that was too strong for him." said the 66-year-old Pickert, who had worked part time at Morse's farm near here for 25 years.
 He was paid $1 an hour.
 Morse said in Washington, D. c. that he did not dispense with Pickert's services because the caretaker is Republican, "but because he had not been loyal to my friendship"
 Pickert said at his home here that last October, after Morse had criticized President Eisenhower in a speech, he remarked to Morse, Eisenhower has forgot more about war than the common man will ever know"
 ''I never saw a man get so mad y Pickert said. The discharge, he said, followed.
