The bodies of Mrs. Hassell and her eight children were found Friday in a dugout on ; the Hassell farm near here. The statement, police said, re lates that the wife and seven, of the children were killed on De cember 8, and that the oldest boy, aged 28, was shot to death two days later as he played cards with his stepfather. The children were the son and daughters of Hassell's brother. The oldest boy was away from j home when Hassell killed the wife and the other children, the state ment said, and when he returned Hassell told him the others were in Oklahoma. He then induced the son to play cards with him. They played un til the boy fell asleep, when Has sell said he shot him and placed him with the mother and the other children in the shallow dugout near the kitchen door. Hassell made the statement to day, but it was not permitted to become public until tonight. Hassell refused to give the names of the people he said he killed in California or the place. "It was a good job, and no one ever will know," the statement said. Letters found in Hassell's house' indicated that he worked for the Southern Pacific railroad in Cali fornia. He was in California from 1915 to 1925. He was also with the Associated Pipe Line company at Fresno, Cal., a year and four months. He later joined the merchant marine corps as a cook on the West Coast. He then went to Oklahoma and moved to his farm near Farwell, having mar ried his deceased brother's widow.

Feeling against Hassell was in tense in Farwell tonight and the sheriff was taking every precau tion to protect him. Hassell's confession said that the ' killings followed a quarrel with his wife over her oldest daughter. - The statement said the wife had charged him with Intimacy 'w.tthtlie -daughter. vThe confession quotes Hassell as 7 saying the slayings were prompted by persistent quarrels witS his wife which had grown out of his alleged intimacy with one of the step daughters. "I had just quarreled with my wife and gone out to the barn and taken a drink of whisky," the statement said. "When I returned my wife again began quarreling with me. I grabbed a hammer, where it came from I don't know, I struck her and she fell to the floor. "About that time the smallest baby began crying, and I reached down and rhokd it. Then I se cured a stccking and tied it aronnd the baby's neck.
