the prisoner's "confession'' was only an attempt to break the monotony of prison life. Martin identified the convict as Charles R. Dow. 51, Who received a life term as a habitual criminal on a kidnaping conviction. Dow was convicted of luring a 12-year-old Rochester. N. Y., girl into his automobile in 1947 and abandoning her after a rape attempt. The Attica warden said Dow appeared mentally depressed when he confessed slaying Edith Mae Dierdorf of Terre Haute on Jan. 27. 1929. Dow said he picked up the girl in Terre Haute, tried to attack her and then struck her on the head with a hammer. He told Martin he then threw her body in a creek. The girl's body was found in a creek near Sullivan, Ind., ?0 miles south of Terre Haul •, several months after she dis-

appeared.

Emphasizing that such “confessions” were not uncommon among prisoners seeking to break the monotony of prison life with a trip Martin said Dow “told us nothing he couldn't have read in the papers.” Dow appeared disappointed when told Terre Haute authorities hail been invited to question him at Attica and it would not be necessary for him to travel to the Indiana city, Mai-

tin said.

Before he was sentenced to Attica as a fourth offender, Dow had a long record of convictions of grand larceny, sex offenses and petty crimes.
