Young Graham's Crime.

HOW HE BILLED THE PEDDLER AT HIS HOME IN
BRIDGEPORT
The story OF how Peddler Louis stahlman
was toully murdered by little Peter Graham
in North Bridgeport, last week Wednesday
morning, is now complete. Aside from the
cruel killing are several interesting ci"cum-
stances, saws the Bridgeport Union. The
concocting of the sch me TO hide the crime
shows emark able criminal intelligence for q
l5 year old boy. The evidence and confession
of the boy makes it cold blooded murder.
The theory OF self defense gains no credence
with the police.
Instead of fearing the punishment for the
deed young Graham gloats over what he has
done. Since his arrest he has been confined
In one OF the gloomy, i'll scented and unsani
tary cells at the police station, but his spirits
are far from being depressed. Whenever an
opportunity presents itself to discuss the
crime he is anxious to talk about it. Yester
day he amused himself by conversing with
other prisoners locked up in the station. This
| is difficult matter as he has to shout to be
heard and contend with the maud!in groans

Those who are acquainted with him say
that he is possessed OF strong temper and

The boy says In his confession that on Wed

He got his fathers revolver from q bureau

after Stahlman with the intention of shooting
