  • PAGE 8/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/FEBRUARY 22, 1979 Children complained he was too strict Hired killer shoots father CLEVELAND (AP)—John White, a strict lather who made his two teen-agers observe a 9 p.m. curfew, walked into his living room after work and came face-to-face with his killer, a man who police allege was hired for $60 by White's children. "He wouldn't let us do anything we wanted, like smoke pot," a police detective, who asked not to be named, quoted the children as saying. Police said the children—a 17-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl—described how they hid their father's body in a back room after the slaying on February 9, then cashed his last paycheck and used his credit cards to go on a 10-day spending spree. They spent $2,000 on televisions, video games and other amusements, as well as food and entertainment, police said. The teen-agers were arrested Monday when they returned to their home in a blue-collar neighborhood in southwest Cleveland. They were being held in a detention home Tuesday, police said. No charges have been filed against the children, both juveniles, "because the investigation is still going on," the detective said. The detective said investigators have no doubt the two were involved in the killing. "You could call it a confession if you want to," he said, "They told police the whole story of what they did, how it happened, how they used the money and the credit cards. They told the whole thing." Police said each blamed the other for hatching the plot. Officers have issued an arrest warrant for aggravated murder for Gerome Watkins, 19, of Cleveland, who they said was a friend of the White children. He remained a fugitive Tuesday. Police said the children paid Watkins $60 to kill their father. Investigators said the killer apparently was sitting in the living room with a .38-caliber revolver in his lap when White walked through the front door from his job at a Ford Motor Company plant. The killer fired once, missing White and breaking a window, police said. Police said he fired again, striking White in the arm as he fled. The killer followed White into the kitchen, where he was trying to open the kitchen door, and shot White in the head, police said. Police said the son, nervous about the killing, left the house, but the daughter waited in another room until the fatal shot was fired. White's body was discovered Sunday when his relatives called police after they were unable to contact him. Divorced from the children's mother 10 years ago, White, 41, kept three Bibles in his living room, set the evening curfew and opposed his children's desire to quit school, police said. Neighbors told reporters that White frequently took the children on outings and often walked them to school in the morning, only to have them return home after he went to work.
