Columbia, December 26. Robert Wiles, a 49 year old automobile mechanic, confessed to killing Herbert H. Harris Jr., a Columbia schoolboy, beating him to death with a bar at a deserted house.

Wiles implicated J M Rushton, a former meat cutter, but police had not confirmed charges. Rushton denied knowledge of the crime. Wiles said he drove the boy to the swamp house in a borrowed car, struck him with an inch angle iron, and dragged the body inside. A blood stained hair strand and iron car were found at the scene.
