BOY GETS LIFE IN
KILLING CHARGE
Shoot» Companion in Course of
Minor Argument.
Pineville, Ky.—A tlilrteen-year-old
boy, keen eyed, quick wltted and
quick tempered, has begun a life sen
tence for murder. He shot and killed
a seventeen-year-old playmate be
cause the latter tried to hit him with
a stick during the fourse of an argu
meat. The subject of the controversy
now has slipped the mind of the
youthful slayer, he admitted when
questioned.
Heath Greer, a good-looking boy,
typical of the backwoods section of
Beli county, drew his pistol and shot
down Luther Partin, his friend and
playmate of years, during a minor
controversy.
The case has attracted great inter
est in this end of the state and min
isters, lawyers and leaders in every
walk of life have commented on the
act and the sentence. Greer does not
realize how much discussion has
arisen over his case and apparently
Is resigned to his fate. He said that
he and Partin had been constant com
panions and schoolmates and that they
had had no trouble before. He has
even forgotten the cause of the quar
rel which resulted fatally last April.
Greer said that he picked up the pis
tol at his home without telling his fa-
father and stuck it in his pocket. He
didn't tell Partin he had it, either. He
said he wanted to carry it "because
all the other boys had 'em, some of
them littler than 1 am.”
“Luther hit at me once with the
stick and missed me; he tried to hit
me again, and I pulled my gun and
shot,” Greer said, calmly discussing
his part in the tragedy. He said he
saw his companion stagger into the
arms of some other boys in the crowd
and then be carried away. Greer said
that he went home and told bis sister
and waited for his father to come
home. His father, a good man, “never
