Hickman, kidnaper and slayer of Marion Parker, it was reported by Jail attaches today. Maudlin sympathy and senti mentality constitute the makeup of the majority of " the letter? while a portion of the missives are undoubtedly the work of insane persons. For this reason, the Jail ers explain every precaution must be taken to watch for anything of a, harmful nature which mentally deficient persons might send to the killer. After being suddenly' aroused from sound sleep between mid night and 2 a. m. and abruptly examined by two of tbe state's psychiatrists who, say Jail ; fcffl rials, believed they could thus-as certain whether tbe youth so sud denly awakened would act norm ally , before he could resume his Insanity pose, Hickman was per mitted, to sleep again.

Dr. Cecil Reynolds, in ternationally known brain special lit, this morning , continued the examination. Following this ex amination, Dri Reynolds is quoted as saying that "William Edward Hickman Is one of the most sane men In the world today.!
