SEATTLE Wash UP John Earl Barker 12 confessed to the murder of 4 year old Kathryn Ruoff and sobbed on his mother s shoulder during a brief meeting. Police had earlier taken him to the old garage where he described how he assaulted and choked the girl last Saturday. The nude body was found under the garage floor by searchers on Sunday.

Judge William G Long of Juvenile Court would decide on return from New York. The girl was one of four children of Washington State Rep and Mrs Richard Ruoff. The Barker boy s troubled past cited by the mother included time in Oregon homes of broken families. The body was found in an old sump under the garage just across the alley from where he reportedly attacked the girl.
