Youth Gets Life
For Stabbing Three
Ashland, Ala. -IUPD- A 15-year-old
junior high school pu
pil, tried as an adult, was sen
tenced to life in prison Thurs
day for the fatal stabbing of
his aunt, grandmother and
great-grandmother.
An all-male jury deliberat
ed a little more than two
hours before finding Ray
mond Eugene Brown guilty of
murder in the Oct. 2, 1960
deaths of Berta Mae Martin,
31, Mrs. Ethel Ogle, 69, and
Mrs. Everlcna Ogle, 83.
A major part of the prosecu
tion's case was the boy's writ
ten confession that he stabbed
the women with a kitchen
knife when his aunt awoke as
he was ransacking his grand
mother's home in a search for
money.
Fissure Wrecking
House at Newport
Newport, Ore.-IUPD - Last
week's torrential rains have
loosened the ground near a
sharp ocean cliff and a New
port doctor's home is gradu
ally being destroyed.
City officials said the home
of Dr. Robert Hayter is being
pulled apart by a fissure eight
feet long and 12 inches wide
that is spreading beneath the
house. The west portion has
dropped about one foot and
the home is slipping toward
the cliff some 25 yards away.
Dr. Hayter is planning to
tear the house down and salv
age some of the material.
