' Folkes Statement Corroborates His Slaying Confession (Continued From Page One) 21-year-old daughter of a nrom- inent Norfolk, Va., family, Wein- nck said. . Folkes verified all substantial statements made to officers by Marine Pvt. Harold R. Wilson, one of the passengers in sleeping car D, Weinrick said. "Folkes described all his ac tivities the night of the slaying and admitted his guilt in the presence of State Police Lieut. R. G. Howard, Dr. Joseph Bee- man, head of the state police crime laboratory at Portland, Court Reporter Kathleen Miller and myself," Weinrick said. The district attorney placed the time of the slaying at 4:45 a. m., January 23. At this moment, four minutes after the Limited left Tangent, Mrs. James' screams awakened Pri vate Harold Wilson USMC, in the berth above her. He peered into the aisle to see a man running, then saw the bride tumble to the floor. The knife victim, her throat gashed, died before she could speak. If Folkes hinted at a motive, the district attorney did not di vulge this information. Asked about it, he replied: "I don't want to try , this case In the press." - He withheld other de tails. : . : The trial date is uncertain. Weinrick said that in' the light of .Folkes' confession, many of the witnesses already questioned must be reexamined. It is pos sible that the case can be pre pared in time for the February 10 session of the circuit court, but that is unlikely, the attorney said. Before Folkes was brought in for questioning, during which he confessed, Weinrick said, the fol lowing Southern Pacific train employes were examined: H. W. Hughes, porter in car D, occupied by- Mrs. ' James; Charles Scurry, porter in the pullman car behind "D";-J. Sib ley, porter in the last car on the train; Nathaniel Lincoln Shaw, porter in the car ahead of "D"; Arthur E. Enell, rear brakeman, and J. A. Bryant, pullman con ductor. Police in Los Angeles, where Folkes was arrested, said Folkes gave them, and then retracted, a statement in which he admitted crawling into Mrs. James' berth January 23 and cutting her throat then she awakened and cried out. Deputy Sheriff Clay Kirk, who brought Folkes here, said the negro was serene in his con fidence, remarking several times, l can prove my innocence." , Once,- however, Folkes told Kirk, "if I'm convicted, guess that will mean my life."
