(Simpson said this involved an act of molestation, but not rape) . . , when she started to scream. She was resisting me. "This wasn't the first time. I had played with her once before. "I strangled her first with my hands, then with a tie. She was quiet. I wrapped her up In the blanket and carried her out to the incinerator. ... I stabbed her with the Ice pick, and then I slammed her with the flat side of the axe six times on the head ... "Then I went back into the kitchen and got a (butcher) knife . . . "The little girl did not suffer too much. She was dead within eight or ten minutes." That was about 5 p. m. Mon day, Stroble said. Linda's body was found the next morning and the search started.

Playing before a goodly audi ence, made up largely of school children, the Great Virgil re mained great in the minds of Roseburg residents who witness ed his trick-a minute show at the Junior high auditorium Thursday night. Mystifying his audience by snatching birds and gold fish from the air; sawing a woman in half, while 12 school children on the stage looked on, and, in the flash of an eye, exchanging places with his lady assistant Julie, who was placed inside a sack then locked inside a trunk, Virgil put on a two-hour show packed with action from the be ginning. He made come true a predic tion, which he wrote and per mitted to be sealed inside a box Thursday afternoon. The box was left in the possession of a local man, who was called onto the stage. After Virgil had called up on three persona, one to select a number, one a card from a deck and the third a day of the week, the box was opened, and Inside was contained the predic tion as to what number, card and day would be selected.
