36 Reform School Fugitives Sought GATESVILLE, Aug. 30 Bloodhounds and men searched heavily wooded central Texas today for 38 young fugitives who fled the state boys reform school in a mass break which Supt. E. H. Nesbitt said "I've been looking for." Forty-seven inmates broke from a group of 200 who had been marched from the football, baseball and basketball recreation field into the big boys yard just before last night's supper hour.

They scrambled over a three and a half foot picket fence and fled into the Leon river bottoms a half mile away, where, officials of the institution said, search would be difficult. The fence was their only barrier. The juvenile training school has no high walls and guards are not allowed firearms. The school of 682 inmates receives youths sentenced in juvenile courts for crimes ranging from petty theft to rape and murder.

Negro Confesses 10 Sex Slayings WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 vis R. Catoe, 36-year-old negro who calmly told police he had choked to death "about 10" women, today attributed the sex slayings in part to the reading of detective thrillers. "I have spells," he told Ira Keck, assistant detective chief who questioned him. The prisoner added that "I feel like that" after reading detective stories about rape cases, and looking at obscene pictures.

Keck asked the negro how often he had such "spells." "I don't know," replied the prisoner: "I have them sometimes when I drank a little wine, but not always." Catoe appeared quite composed yesterday as he tallied slowly on his fingers the 10 slayings he admitted. Seven of the victims have been identified by his statements. One of them was Jessie Elizabeth Strieff, 23-year-old war department clerk from Des Moines, whose death touched off a congressional investigation of the District of Columbia police system. Another was Mrs. Evelyn D.

Anderson, a Bronx waitress who was slain Aug. 4. It was her death that set New York police on Catoe's trail. Catoe also Admitted slaying four Washington negro women since Dec. 1, 1939.

"I did wrong," he told Keck, "and Im glad to get it off my mind. I did it and I'm sorry. "I've got to give give my life but I'm glad it's off my mind."
