Murder Suspect Acts
In Sound Film for
Grand Jury to See
Confessions Claimed
In California Cases,
Robbery Chief Motive
By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30.—Police,
probing the fatal bludgeoning of a
one-time follies dancer fend brutal
attacks on two 17-year-old girls,
borrowed an idea today from Hollyr
wood’s movie studios.
Sound pictures of De Witt Clinton
Cook, 20, re-enacting the clubbing of
blond Anya Sosoyeva on a college
campus, were prepared for a grand
jury to see.
District Attorney Buron Pitts
claims Cook confessed killing Miss
Sosoyeva, 32, beating and ravishing
Myrtle Wagner, a maid, and slug
ging and robbing Delia Bogard, film
dancer. The youth was booked on
suspicion of murder. Mr. Pitts said
he would ask the jury to vote a mur
der indictment.
‘‘Each time robbery was the rea
son I started out,” Pitts quoted Cook,
unemployed printer and former in
mate of the Eldorado, Iowa, Reform
School, who doesn’t smoke or drink.
The district attorney also asserted
Cook had admitted committing
"about 300” buglaries since he came
here two years ago from Waterloo,
Iowa, “sometimes three or four a
nirvVvt ’’
Police Capt. Dalton R. Patton said
Cook readily agreed to re-enact the
assault February 24 on Miss Soso
yeva on the grounds of City College,
where she was a dramatic student.
Mary Rose, a resident of the
neighborhood, posed as the dancer,
Cook wielded a paper club while
cameras ground and his words went
into a microphone. He also re
enacted the attack on Miss Bogard
March 29 as she walked along a
Hollywood street and the assault
last week on Miss Wagner, struck
down as she sat knitting in the
kitchen of her employers’ home.
He denied criminally assaulting
any except Miss Wagner. She is
still in a serious condition in a hos
pital, her skull fractured.
Cook's wife, Lorraine, 24, and his
mother, Mrs. Ruby Cook, were
booked by police for investigation.

DON’T SCRATCH,
SOOTHE THE
IRRITATION
Quick relief from the maddening
Itch of eczema, psoriasis, poison ivy,
and irritation about the rectum or
personal parts is obtained by apply
ing Resinol Ointment. Leave it on
over night. It lessens the desire to
scratch, and eases the irritation.
The soothing effect of Resinol
takes the sting from the irritated
places and makes you more comfort
able. The skin heals sooner, too,
with the help of Resinol, as its oily
base holds the medication in active
contact with the tortured parts.
For gentle cleansing of irritated
skin, Resinol Soap is excellent be
cause it has no excess of free alkali
and is so refreshing. Many nurses
suggest and use Resinol Ointment
and Soap—why don’t you try them ?
Buy at any drug store. For free
sample, write to Resinol, Dept. 86,
