Received By Slain Actress
HOLLYWOOD (UPI '-Detectives

mystery notes today that
threatened the life of Karyn
Kupcinet in an effort to shed
some light on the identity of
the beautiful actress' strangler.
Existence of the notes was
revealed Monday by actor An
drew Prine, Miss Kupcinet's
former boy friend.
He also received the threaten
ing notes several months ago,
but both he and the 22-year-old
actress discounted tliem at the
time, he said.
Lt. George Walsh said at
tempts were being made to
find the source of the mes
sages with a minimum of pub
licity, but confirmed the basic
details of Prine's interview w ith
a newsman.
Walsh said there was no ev
idence yet to ink the messages
with the killer.
Miss Kupcinet's body was
found by friends Saturday night
who found her door unlocked.
She had apparently been dead
since early Thursday morning,
according to the coroner.
The coroner's office said Mon
day it appeared she had been
strangled by a left-handed per
son who had used such force he
broke a bone in her neck.
The body of the attractive
daughter of Chicago newspaper
columnist Irv Kupcinet was
flown home Monday. She had
achieved considerable success
in smaller roles, mainly on tel
evision. Prine, 27, who plays the part
of the younger brother of actor
Earl Holliman, a rodeo cham
pion on the "Wide Country" tel
evision series, said the threats
were contained in messages

Coverage
Assailed
By Walker
DALLAS lUPIi Former
Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker
praised his hometown Dallas
newspapers Monday for Uieir
coverage of the presidential as
sassination but blasted all the
rest.
He said out-of-town papers
made Dallas a "target of
abuse."
The controversial general,
once the victim of an unsuccess
ful assassination attempt him
self, was out of town the week
end President Kennedy and his
accused assassin were shot.
He returned to Dallas Mon
day. He said tlie first he heard of
a state board of inquiry into the
assassination was a report in
the Communist newspaper, The
Worker, Nov. 26.
"I did not hear about such a
court of inquiry from any other
news media until tlie 29th," he
said.
(The federal investigation,
headed by Chief Justice Earl
Warren, was announced Nov. 29
while the Texas inquiry was an
nounced Nov. 26 by Atty. Gen.
Waggoner Carr.)
Walker said the good cover
age of the assassination by Dal
las papers "did not extend to
newspapers of other cities."
"Dallas, Texas, and the na
tion rebel at tlie thought of as
sassination. Anyone who know
ingly projects or diverts the
true image of accused assassin
Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marxist
Communist, betrays the spirit
of Dallas, Texas, and the na
tion's political system."
Walker, who resigned his
Army commission to become a
champion of "pro-blue" Ameri
canism and ultra-conservative
causes, was fired at by a snip

his income tax at his Dallas
home. He was not hit.

Stockdale
Fall Listed
As Suicide
MIAMI (UPH - The last con
versation of former U.S. am
bassador to Ireland Grant
Stockdale before he plunged to
death from his office window
Monday was about how he cried
when his close friend John F.
Kennedy was killed, a secre
tary said.
Detectives tentatively record
ed the death as suicide and said
Stockdale had been in almost
constant despondency since the
assassination of the President
Nov. 22.
Mrs. Mary Ruth Hauser, who
works in an office across the
hall from Stockdalc's on the
13th floor of a downtown build
ing, said she talked with Stock
dale a few minutes before he
fell from the window of his of
fice. "He told me he w as in his of
fice when his wife called to tell
him the President had been
shot. He said he just got down
on his knees and prayed," Mrs.
Hauser said.
"He said he was still on his
knees when the phone started
ringing w ith news that Kennedy
was dead. But lie said all he
could do was blubber."
The secretary said it was only
minutes later that she heard
"this terrible thud."
Stockdale fell eight stories to
his death, to the roof of a five
story building. Police made a
preliminary ruling of suicide
pending result of an autopsy
and further investigation.
Oswald's Mother Plans

Marguerite Oswald, mother of
accused presidential assassin
Lee Harvey Oswald, said Mon

her son.
She intends to write a book
containing them.
Mrs. Oswald came out of se
clusion, although she is still un

small duplex apartment.
The 56-year-old, unemployed
practical nurse said her son,
himself slain by Jack Ruby in
the Dallas city jail basement

was shot, "was innocent until
proven guilty."
"That is the American way,"
she said, "and he did not have

Texans Assemble Board
For Assassination Inquiry
DALLAS (UPD Texas as
sembled a blue ribbon panel of
legal minds today for a court
of inquiry into the assassina
tion of President Kennedy and
surrounding events.
Texas Atty. Gen. Waggoner
Carr conferred with wounded
Gov. John Connally about the
investigation Monday and an
nounced the names of two law
yers who would help interro
gate witnesses.
Leon Jaworski, a Houston at
torney .who was trial judge ad
vocate in the Nuremburg trials
following World War 11, and
Dist. Atty. Henry Wade of Dal
las were named to tile panel
which Carr will head.
Carr said the state's investi
gation would open shortly after
the Federal Bureau of Investi
gation (FBI) files a report with
President Johnson, presumably
late this month.
The state investigation, Carr
said, would openly interrogate
witnesses in the assassination,
the slaying of policeman J. D.
Tippit and the shooting of Lee
Harvey Oswald. The findings
will be turned over to a feder
al commission appointed by
President Johnson.
Carr said the state investiga
tion would contrast both tlie
FBI's undercover work and the
federal commission's considera
tion because witnesses would be
subpoenaed and questioned un
der oath either in Dallas or at
Austin, Tex., tlie state capital.
The three-pronged approaches
to the crimes was called an
"unprecedented example of co
operation between local, state
and federatl government to de-
known, my son will not have
died in vain."
She blamed federal and local
officers for both the death of
President Kennedy and her son.
Since the Federal Bureau of
Investigation knew he was a de
fector, she said, tliey should
have put him under surveillance
during the President's visit.
Oswald tried to become a
Russian citizen in October, 1959,
and renounce his American cit
izenship. He lived in the Soviet
Union nearly three years with
out becoming a citizen and re
turned to the United States, ap
parently disillusioned, with a
Russian wife.
Concerning the death of her
son, Mrs. Oswald said she could
not understand how Ruby, a
Dallas nightclub owner with a
police record, could get within
five feet of her son when she
was not permitted to see Nm.
When asked if she thought her
son was guilty of the assassina
tion of the President, she said "I
have no thought of that."

FBI information will be giv
en the Texas court of inquiry,
which will forward its findings
to the federal commission head
ed by Earl Warren, chief justice
of tlie United States Supreme
Court.
Carr said he did not know if
Jack Ruby would be questioned
by the state court of inquiry.
He said he "didn't want to in
terfere" with the murder case
that charges Ruby with Os
wald's shooting.
Tlie Texas attorney general
said he planned to select anoth
er attorney to aid in the state's
inquiry and planned to set the
time and place of the probe
soon.
Carr said the presidential
commission would not call
witnesses, but was depending
on other sources for its infor
mation. "It is my understanding tlie
commission will take evidence
assembled by the FBI and oth
er agencies and evaluate this
evidence and reach conclu
sions," Carr said.
