Barlender Admits Hofei Room Slaying Washington Hotel Killing Is Solved Washington, Dec. 9—(UP)— A 29-year-old bartender confessed early todax to the hotel room slaying of Charles J. Hines, 48, of Madison, Wis., police reported. Chris L. Perez allegedly told detectives he "wasn't going to kill him," but wanted to get a SI,OOO diamond ring Hines was wearing. The ring was found in Perez’s room, police said. The bartender was seized on a tip supplied by a waitress who said she served him and Hines and another couple a few hours before Hines was bludgeoned and suffocated. Hines’ body was found yesterday trussed to a bed at the Ambassador hotel. A house painter, he was en-1 route home to Wisconsin after! visiting his marine son at Camp Lejeune, N. C. Even after questioning Perez, detectives were unable to explain why he subjected his victim to such a sadistic beating. Hines was bound hand and foot with his own - clothing, and a wadded handkerchief had been stuffed in his mouth. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald said death could have been caused either by suffocation or by several heavy blows on the head. The couple said to -have been with Hines and Perez in the tavern have been taken into custody as material witnesses. Police said Perez served four years in the army, being discharged in 1947. A preliminary check failed to disclose any previous criminal record. He is married and ■ has a five-year- old daughter.
