YOUTH ADMITS SLAYING GIRL. POLICEALLEGE Hoosier Questioned in South on South Bend Slaying. Bt Vm*U4 PrtN MEMPHIS. Tenn., Sept. 28 —The myxtvrlou* assault and slaying of pretty 8-year-old Mar/erlne Appel in a dark South Bend <lnd.) alley four years ago wag solved today with the confession of Marvin Day. 30, of South Bend. Young Day, held here since last Tuesday, broke down and confessed after more than forty-eight hours of questioning. He said he met the girl in a South Bend park In August. 1930, and persuaded her to go walking, and then into an alley with him. Fear overcame him, he said, after he had harmed the child and he struck her with his fist and knocked her down. "While she was lying on the ground." he continued. "I picked up a piece of wire lying on the ground and fastened it around her neck.” The youth said he then returned to the park, told a boy friend, and asked him if he wanted to see her. The boy friend picked up the girl’s body and he led the way out of the barn for him. Day related. They saw an automobile when they reached the alley. Day said, and dropped the body and ran. Day's arrest resulted from a purported statement he made to a “friend'* while enrolled in a transients’ camp at Jefferson City. He allegedly confided to the friend that he was wanted in South Bend for the girls murder. Jefferson City police got the tip and notified South Bend authorities. who, in turn, notified Memphis police that Day was en route bare He was arrested here by detectives at a rooming house.
