CONVICT SAYS HIS (Continued from First Page) the October, 1939, murder of Goerge Goodwin at Cordell, said he got the information for his "confession" of the Taylor killing from a murder magazine. In his confession, Ray said he killed the coed to get a letter which implicated him as a member of a narcotics ring that operated at Penn State, the University of New Hampshire and in New York, Cleveland and Wildwood, N. J.

State Police Cpl. Howard Hancock said the repudiation bore out "discrepancies in Ray'g confession." "Ray would have been 17 at the time of the murder," Hancock said. "And the big: boys just don't trust a 17-year-old kid to sell narcotics." Another officer said Ray's repudiation came just in time. "Even though we were doubtful of the confession, we were ready to send an officer to Oklahoma to talk to Ray. I don't think that will be necessary now." The false confession revealed, however, that state authorities had never closed the book on the 14-year-old crime.

Soon after Ray's startling: statement, State Police disclosed they had two "prime" murder suspects but had been unable to sret sufficient evidence to prosecute.
