EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, January 12, 1958 Bathing Suit Pictures Blamed For Attack on California Beauty Santa Ana, Calif. 0J.fi) A 25-year-old father confessed to day that bathing suit pictures of beauty contest winner Donna May Schurr, 18, drove him to kidnap and rape her a second time even though he had a hunch he would be caught. Sheriff's deputies said Jack James Walker, married and the father of a child, readily ad mitted he had twice attacked the blue -eyed, brown -haired beauty by threatening her with a knife. Identifies Assailant Walker was identified as her assailant by Miss Schurr, who was a runner-up in the Miss USA contest and placed fourth as Miss California of 1955 in the Miss Universe international beauty pageant. Walker, an upholsterer, was captured Tuesday night by Mis3 Schurr's fiance in a 100-mile-an-hour chase shortly after the sec ond attack. Walker told deputies, "I had a feeling I'd get caught." Depu ties said he seemed unperturbed by the charges against him. He was booked on suspicion of kid naping, burglary and criminal attack. Developed 'Yen' for Girl Walker said he developed "a yen" for Miss Schurr when she posed for an advertising firm for which he works. The suspect told deputies he first attacked Miss Schurr last March 26 when she worked in a drive-in theater.. The second attack was de scribed by the hysterical beauty. She told deputies she heard a noise in her home Tuesday night. "I saw him (Walker) coming down the hall," the beauty told officers. "He had a knife in his hand. I grabbed for the knife and it cut me across the palm of my left hand." The beauty said "we drove to an unoccupied housing tract" near her home. Walker, she said, forced her into a partly-completed house and criminally as saulted her. Squad Car Joins Chase The fiance, Lloyd Brett, 21, arrived at Miss Schurr's home just as the kidnaper was releas ing her. Brett drove in pursuit of Walker's car in a high-speed, wild race through dark and nar row back streets. A California ticed the chase and joined in. Orange County Sheriff jSmes Musick said he would ask the death penalty for Walker under California's "Little Lindbergh Law," which allows a death sen tence in kidnap cases in which the victim is harmed or injured.

What technique are you employing? Are you using psy chology in your campaign to win the lady's heart and hand? Ac cording to some psychologists, a very effective way to advance your interests with a young woman is to give her a pet nickname. Call her "precious," "Bobo," "Lovey," "Honeybunch" or something along those lines. If she is redhaired, be certain to get something connected with her hair coloring in your pet name. Call her "Rusty," "Brick top" or something similar. Sidelights The Hotel" Statler, opened in Buffalo in 1907, was the first hotel in the world to have a bath in every guest room.

When it comes to driving away evil doers, the female of the species is much' deadlier than the male. The male watchdog often falls for a friendly ap proach. He can also be tempted with a bone.

"It's about the worst, thing that ever happened here," Winslow said. Mrs. McNamara had been un der treatment for e "nervous condition' 'about six months ago, Winslow said. "McNamara told me that the doctors said she could get upset easily, that anything could get to her." Winslow said the youngest child was shot as he was asleep in his tiny bed. Missed First Shot "The other youngster evi dently tried to escape. You could see he started to run. Evidently the woman shot at him once and missed him. Then she. shot at him' again. She got him in the hip and the boy fell on the floor. "Then she stood over him and shot -him in the back. The bullet went through his lungs and heart just theway it did with the other child." v "Maybe it was my iault. May be it was her's," McNamara told the police. "We've had some trouble. But I can't understand why she killed the kids." Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday: 10 ajn.
