HEADY was reinterviewed on October 10 and 11, 1953, and she in
substance related the same set of facts with but slight variations until
her admission of guilt on October 11, 1953. This interview was conducted LAK \

HEADY seemed to be well composed at the start of the interview;
however, after thirty minutes of thorough and meticulous questioning she
admitted that she had lied about getting ont of the station wagon on the
