Erwin Staab, 32, wound up a three-day drunk Wednesday by stumbling into a police station to tell officers he was. present when two drinking companions mur dered the youths the night of Oct. 16, 1955. The murder of John Schuessler, 13, his brother, Anton, 11, and Robert Peterson, 13, touched off one of the most intensive man hunts in Chicago history. Staab dictated a three-page question and answer statement to authorities during hours of ques tioning. Police, who have run into a blank wall after months of in vestigation, called the confession "as hot as anything we've had in this case." Authorities then gave Staab a tranquilizing drug and when he awoke four hours later, he re canted the statement and ex plained "I just talk that way when I'm drunk." "Wa are going to let him rest at long as he wishes, with the hope that he can tell a clear story" later today, Morris said. Held in Killings li "- J if I. V T ANGOLA, Ind.
