Young Covell was arrested and

Lucille Covell. H-year old sis

think it would be carried out:
Alton was alleged to have
straiiLUd his step mother in the
kitchen nf her home by applying
an amminia-soaked rug to her
mouth.
The crippled astrologer, said
the boy, had been directed by the
stars to kill Mrs. Covell, and he
said, they had planned other and
even more atrocious crimes to the
total of 24.
Questioned, Covsll admitted hU
guilt. Yes. he hud Instigated tho

to do It. It was the hand of
