The part of Harvey's confession" dealing-
with these murders follows:
Nina Deloney "Nina and I "were
namplng near the artesian well at Sig

another wife fell front my pocket. She
read them and threatened to have me
' arrested. 'I grabbed a hammer and hit
- her on the head. I hit her several times,
then wrapped her body up. put it in the
auto and drove all night till I came to
' a canyon about 30 miles this side of 1
Centro, where I buried her."' - -j.
Betty Phior-i Last spring we were
' driving from , Portland to Seattle. . We
. - had some "words. W came to a de
serted house.- She grabbed her hatpin
ta stab me. I gave her a: hard shove
and she struck her head on the corner
of the bunk. I got a hammer and
struck her several timea to make sure
she was dead. I buried her body. 'Then
I burned the house." ! '? i -. '
