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."
