Hickman
Confesses
to
Murder
of
a
Druggist
1
Christmas
Eve
of
1926
LOS
ANGELES,
December
29.
William
Edward
Hickman,
confessed
kidnapper
and
slayer
of
Marian
Parker,
late
last
night
confessed
to
jail
officials
that
he
had
taken
part
in
the
murder
of
Ivy
Thomas,
a
druggist,
in
Pasadena,
Christmas
Eve,
192G.
The
officers
quoted
Hickman
as
stating
that
he
shot
and
killed
Thomas
at
Rose
Hill,
a
suburb
near
here,
implicating
Weldy
Hunt,
an
Alhambra
youth,
in
the
confession.
Hunt,
the
officer
said,
he
believed
was
employed
in
the
same
bank
as
Perry
Parker,
father
of
Marian
Parker
and
in
which
Hickman
was
formerly
as
messenger.
Hunt,
held
for
questioning,
confessed
today,
corroborating
Hickman's
story
but
denying,
however,
that
his
shots
had
killed
the
druggist.
