' Hewitt, a farmer's boy, visited I Browns' home one day and i :relled with Mrs. Brown. En-J En-J ::d, the boy killed her with a i tall bat, battered her little son death and then calmly went ?.ie and went to bed. Appeals for ic-ser sentence than the death ;alty, based on his youth, failed ?,ive him. ":ien there was Frank McDow-20-year-old St. Petersburg (Fla.) I who was seized by a religious 1 nia that caused him to take I r lives. IcDowell felt that he had "blas-:ined "blas-:ined the Holy Ghost" in his idr.ood. He decided, he later I police, that he could make ends for this crime only by od. So, one night, he crept into room where his two sisters - :e sleeping, poured gasoline over ivthing and lit a match. The j were burned to death; the boy, :he time, escaped suspicion.' I year later he entered his par-is' par-is' bedroom and shot his father 1 mother to death. Arrested, he :'iily told of the former crime, playing no remorse or fear of ronsequences. A jury speedily found him guilty of first degree murder but recommended mercy, which automatically caused the judge to sentence him to a life term in' the penitentiary. Then, to make the list more horrible, hor-rible, there is the strange story of little Peter Safroni of Detroit. Killed His Sister-Peter Sister-Peter was only seven years old. He quarrelled one day with his sister Mary, aged five. "You're just a little monkey," the little girl cried. Peter, a dark-eyed little chap who apparently had always been of average intelligence, seized his father's revolver and shot the little girl to death. Juvenile court authorities took him in hand at once. There was, S of course, no question of capital punishment in his case. He is now I in an institution. ! Those are only a few of the mur-i mur-i ders by boys. In some cases, like I that of young McDowell, the boy has been obviously unbalanced. In others, however, he has been, tu ?.!1 appearances, a normal youth Sociologists and psychologists are seeking the explanation. Murder is a dreadful crime, even when committed by a grown man. But when young kill -kill coolly ?.nd without remorse, often for no apparent cause it becomes horrifying horri-fying to the' highest degree.
