CONFESSES TO ASSAULT Tool Maker Admits He Attacked and Killed Girl He Picked Up KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS PEORIA, Ill., June 22 (AP)β€”Confronted by the torn and bloody clothing of his alleged victim, Gerald Thompson, 25-year-old tool maker, confessed, Acting Chief of Police Fred Nussbaum said today, that he ravished Mildred Hallmark, 19, and left her to die in a cemetery roadside ditch. The girl's battered body was found last Monday. Thompson was taken into custody Thursday night on a tip allegedly furnished by someone residing in the same house. He was subjected to questioning more than 42 hours during which lie detector tests were used. Nussbaum quoted Thompson as saying he offered the girl a ride in his automobile when he saw her waiting in the rain for a street car, knocked her unconscious with his fist, drove to the cemetery and assaulted her, and then threw her into the ditch. The girl died of a broken neck, a coroner's jury reported. Thompson was taken to the jail at Springfield, Ill., to thwart possible violence before the confession was announced. The police said a diary found in Thompson's possession aided them in getting the alleged confession. They said it recorded thirteen or fourteen other attacks. The alleged slayer was formally charged with murder. Liquidation Finished During May of 14 Insolvent National Banks, Comptroller of Currency Reports The Comptroller of the Currency J. F.
