Near Philadelphia the other day a
15-year old boy murdered a 5-year old
playmate by stabbing him several
times, and before he was dead carried
the child toa pool in a run, rolling
stones on the body to sink it. There
was no other reasoh given by the mur
derer than a desire to “kill his man.”
The boy-murderer was a reader of dime
novels,
