year-old boy. OF AS sta e street, who was
Il witness to the shooting.
Markert Is a little bit OF a fellow. He
does not look to be over seven years old.

ity OF the .%offense he has committed.
When asked why he shot .AbelitZer. his
only reply was that he didn't mean to

In front OF a grocery store on the oppo-
site side OF the street. While standing
there AbelitZer and Rabe came along.

and as MIarkert announced his conclu-
sion he pulled IL revolver from his pocket
and blazed away at Abelitzer point

Abelitzer fell to the sidewalk. Markert
did not run away. He stood looking at

never saw him before.
Unless Abelitzer is too III to be In

had committed suicide or was acci-
dentally drowned. He had learned that
she was in the habit Of going to the park.

fallen II to the lake.
The spot where the body was foun Is
