"They think I'm stupid, but before all this is over, everyone will know who's really stupid." In some cases, by refusing to accept documents such as prison and work records, authorities actually amended information to conform to the confessions, the newspaper said.

Since he was arrested two years ago for the murder of an elderly Montague County woman, the one-eyed drifter has confessed to 600 grisly slayings in the United States and five foreign countries, according to the Times-Herald. Eager to close the books on unsolved slayings, law enforcement officials from 35 states have interviewed Lucas, the newspaper said.

Sometimes, the newspaper said, there was evidence that placed Lucas, 48, in one state on the same day he said he committed a murder halfway across the country. In other cases, Lucas was known to be thousands of miles away on the day before or the day after the crime.

Among the examples offered by the paper: The Homicide Task Force credited Lucas with the Oct. 1, 1982, murder of a Conroe, Texas, woman. But a Texas Ranger chronology said Lucas applied for unemployment benefits or food stamps more than 1,000 miles away, in Decatur, on the same day. Houston authorities accepted Lucas' confession and cleared a Sept. 12, 1981, murder in Houston, Texas.

Rangers and Tyler, Texas, authorities accepted Lucas's confession to the Sept. 9, 1975, murder of a 69-yearold man in Tyler. But records of Kaolin Mushroom Farms in Avondale, show Lucas was at work in Pennsylvania on the day of the killing.

Pennsylvania state police told the paper they had reported the information to the Texas Rangers. To clear six killings and one attempted kidnapping between Oct. 2 and Nov. 2, 1978, authorities have Lucas driving more than 11,000 miles in a 13-year-old Ford station wagon, the paper said. According to the newspaper's calculations, Lucas would have had to have driven 4,100 miles in the last four days of the journey alone, averaging 50 miles an hour, 24 hours a day.
