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 In jail In Ills life nnd never indicted,’ in the words of the youth, soon re turned and told Heath to stay at home.
