rams confession came quickly after Jean Miller, one of "party girls" who went on the fatal ride with the two men, had told the llrrl-secutcr that Ferris killed Dickin- so . .

and Florence Jackson, were “in that business w picking up we thought had money, getting them drunk and then rolling them.”

"He wouldn't put his hands up,

and I let liim have it." Prosecutor McCrea quoted Ferris as confessing. “We got about 8150." "We thought he had a lot of mon- ey,eowe agreedtogeihlmdrunk and roll him. But he wouldn't get drunk, so we took him out to Rouge Park and the girls gct out and I told him to ‘put ‘em up’; but he didn't, so I ‘shot him." ‘

Dickinsonk body was found beside the roadway to the pank last Thurs- day morning. Ferris and the three girls were arrested in Ft. Wayne. Ind, Saturday. ' Earlier statements they had given the prosecutor and Detroit detectives were conflicting, but the renewed questioning of the Miller woman brought the case to a quick denouement.

Her statement this afternoon. which paved‘ the way for Ferris confession, asreported by McCrea. coincided with rams‘ admission of the shooting. She said the other women left the automobile at the park and heard ehoie while they were out.

“Then ltenis pulled the body out. after taking off the coat and vest," the prosecute , ‘ ‘ her as saying.

He added she told him the Jack- son sisters searched Dickinsorrs coat and vest as they drove hack in- to the city, but said she didn't know how much money they found. The Miller woman related, MoCrea said. that they stopped in the city to "get our stufl" and then drove to Chi-

cago.

In the confession McCrea attribu- ted to Ferris the latter said he crawled over to the back seat and tried to search the attorneylpoc- ketl. Dickinson resisted and he fired a shot into the man's side. ‘fir-ls said Dickinson. before dying. c ed: " '
