UP) A husky 14 year old Wisconsin youth has admitted the fatal stabbing of a newspaper publisher and his wife at Sturgeon Bay, but he says, "I don't know why I did La F.m uiuw it a iuvi idle tu uc aunj, the 6-foot, 185-pound youth said yesterday as he signed a statement admitting the slaying of Sumner Harris, 53, publisher of the Door County (Wis.) Advocate, and is wife Grace, 50.

Shelby County Sheriff Robert Meltzer said the statement was made by James A. Duranty, who was arrested here early yesterday morning by two policemen who found him sleeping in a restroom at the Courthouse. Duranty was booked at police headquarters on a charge of vagrancy, after telling police he was Joe Mead and that he lived in Michigan. His identity was not established until shortly before dawn, when Sheriff Meltzer was called to investigate the report of an abandoned car in a ditch 3 miles northeast of here. The car, a late model sedan with Wisconsin plates, contained two suitcoats, a suticase and an eyeglass-case with the name "Harris" written in ink on the inside cover.

The sheriff confronted the boy at the jail with the eyeglass case and a suit coat which matched the tweed trousers he was wearing. Then he admitted his identity, the sheriff said, and stated: "I don't know why I did it. Something up there told me to do it." He pointed to his head. Meltzer said Duranty signed a statement after Wisconsin authorities were notified of his arrest. A first degree murder warrant already had been issued against the boy in Wisconsin.

The sheriff said the boy's statement told of how he went to the Harris home Monday evening and knocked on the door. He said he attacked Mrs. Harris as soon as: she answered the door, attempting to gag her with his hand. His statement said she broke loose and he chased her into the kitchen but she got free again and tried to telephone police. He grabbed a knife "and stabbed her several times," Duranty said.

"I think she must have died instantly." He denied he abused her sexually, the sheriff said. Reports of the slayings said the woman's clothing had been ripped almost completely off. Duranty said Harris returned home about two hours later, and he said he jumped at the publisher. "I dropped the knife while fighting with him," the boy related, "and he made a lunge for it." He said he recovered the weapon and stabbed Harris, "I don't know how many times. I think he died right away too." Meltzer said the boy then told of returning home and writing the note.

He then went to the Harris garage, took their car and drove through Michigan and to Indiana. Duranty waived extradition and was to be picked up today by Door County Sheriff Hallie Rowe.
