SAYS HE KILLED EARL REMINGTON PORTLAND, Ore., April 17.—The year-old mystery surrounding the murder of Earl Remington, wealthy Los Angeles engineer, appeared likely to be solved today as police investigated the story of Lawrence Aber, 39, world war veteran, who is said to have confessed that he was the slayer. Since Aber calmly walked into police headquarters and bared his story of taking Remington's life, authorities have been in communication with Los Angeles police. Aber's story is said to tally closely with the facts of the murder of Remington in his home at Los Angeles, Feb. 15, 1923. "Remington wouldn't let us alone so I killed him," Aber is said to have told police. "I was living at the Soldiers' Home at Sawtelle and Remington's men kept selling us liquor and drugs." "We made up our minds to get him. We hid in the bushes near his home. I had a shotgun—the others had revolvers. He came home about 10:30 p.m. and I shot him while he was near the side door of his house." Aber refused to divulge the identity of his companions. He said he remained at the soldiers home for three days after the crime, then came to Portland and went from here to Canada. Later he said he returned to San Francisco and shipped out to the Philippines. He said he was imprisoned three months there on vagrancy and drug smuggling charges. Aber, according to police, admitted he is mentally deranged and said he had been confined in 15 asylums and penitentiaries. He said he had given himself up to prevent others from being harmed. The theory has been advanced that he is the victim of a form of insanity which leads to the belief of self-appointment to kill disliked persons. LA HABRA, April 15.—(Spl.)—Mrs. J. E.
