ALLISON, Iowa, August 8.
Charged with killing his father,
R. P. Vandervoort. a minister of
Parkersburg. Iowa. Thursday
night, Warren Vandervoort, 17,
today is held here without bond,
charged with first degree murder.
Mis mother, who, according to the
confession wrote In his cell, he
also shot, Is seriously injured and
in a local hospital.
Motive for the crime has' not
been entirely established by the
authorities here and at Parkers
burg, wheru the shooting took
place. The ministers son in his
confession said only that there
had been numerous dissensions In
the family. He and hU father
have "always been good friends."
however, the confession stated,
and In most of these moods the
father and son together agulnst
the mother. According to the
story told In the boy's written
confession, he bought a rifle Wed
nesday afternoon In lino with
previous plans he and his father
had made. His confession lld
not say what the rifle was wanted
for.
Taking the rifle home, ha took
It apart and hid the parts In a
tent on the lawn, where he had
been sleeping. Thursday about
10:30 p. m.. he slipped Into the
house, uT the stairs, and when
his father, aroused lirv his en
trance, came to the bed room
door and called out "who's
there." the boy fired, killing the
minister. Mrs. Vandervoort hear
ing the crack of the rifle, came
to the bedroom door and her son
also fired at her.
He declares In his confession
that "only then did I become fully
awake." and that the crime had
been committed while he was
half asleep, lie fled from the
house taking the family car and
rovK towards Reinlierk. the homo
of the Vandervoorts. Three miles
from that place he ran into a
ditch near the home of friends
of the family. He aroused these
people and told them an assassin
had killed his parents and forced
him to flee In his car. The fum
ily Immediately got In touch with
Parkersburg physician, who,
upon going to the Vandervoort
home, found Mrs. Vandervoort In
a pool of blood, barely conscious.
She gasped "Warren did It."
Officers were immediately noti
fied to hold Warren at Relnbeck
and Fridav he was brought here.
He at first stuck to hls story
of another person killing his fa
ther and shooting his mother, but
on the advice of his friends, "de
cided to make a clean brest of
things."
Inquiry Into the sanity of voune
Vsndervoort will be asked, it was
Indicated by John Hehnke, Park-c-sh.irr
attorney apnolnted by the
court to protect young Vander
w lntri nt the preliminary
hearing yesterday.
Mehnke said Vandervoort did
not appear entirely rational when
going over details of the tragedy
with his attorney. Rehnke, how
ever, would not say whether Insan
ity would be Vandervoort's plea
when his case comes .up for hear
ing In the Butler section of district
court In October.
