Ik J WX:&- Map-,: HELD IN SLAYING Audrey Earl Brandt, held by Joplin, Mo., authorities in the brutal slaying of two-year-old Donna Sue Davis of Sioux City, la. Police say he has confessed. Man's Confession In Child Slaying Is Repudiated Jnnlin. Mo. (U.FD Joplin police gave a convicted sex criminal a lull nigni s rest De fore questioning him today about his repudiation of a "con fession that he raped and killed little Donna Sue Davis. Detective Capt. Johnny Show ers said he told Audrey Earl Brandt, 42, to "sleep on it" after the suspect suddenly changed his ghastly story and claimed all he knew about the crime was what he heard on the radio. "The whole thing sounds a little mixed up to me," Showers said. Known Sex Deviate Showers, who has led ques tioning of Brandt since his ar rest Wednesday as a suspect in the slaying of the 21-month-old girl in a cornfield near Sioux City, la., said he would attempt to determine whether Brandt learned details of the slaying from broadcasts. JJrandt, an itinerant farm hand of La Porte City, la., is a known sex deviate. Radical Turn-about Brandt's new stand was a radical turn-about from his earlier confession, which au thorities said tallied on seven of 10 major points in the crime, But officials admitted they had doubts about the confession. "He also confessed to any crime we asked him about,' Showers said. Brandt was ar rested as a suspect in a murder after a truck driver with whom he hitched a ride reported to po lice that he "acted suspiciously." After 20 hours of question ing, Brandt confessed. He was arraigned on a technical charge cf vagrancy and bound over for formal hearing on Saturday. His bond was set at $75. Convicted in 1947 Joplin police checked with Iowa authorities and - found Brandt was convicted' of sex molestation at Cedar Rapids in 1947. He was arrested in Water loo, la., last April for annoying two small girls in a movie house. " Federal authorities have been asked to check Brandt's finger prints against those found in Donna's bedroom. Need for participation of Ki- wanians themselves in the found ation to make it successful was stressed in talks by trustees, particularly by Boyd Budge, i president of the foundation. He described the articles of incor poration, the by laws and a brochure as "tools" of .the cor poration. Dwight Houghton, foundation treasurer, who has been chair man of the club's underprivil eged children's committee, told , of the financial set up and policy of the foundation, an organiza tion of "permanent and solid" nature to carry Kiwanis pro jects.
