 Beasely, armed with a revolver, attempted to rob Kronke as he was preparing to close the filling station on the night of September 16, 1922, it was charged at the trial. Kronke leaped toward the other and was shot three times. Beasely, who was IS years old at the time, related the story of his life at the trial, des- cribing the early days of his boy hood when, as a newsboy, he said he stole nickels and pennies from GUS toners whom he told to wait for change while he went into nearby store. AS he grew older his petty crimes increased, he asserted, and several years ago was sentenced to the state reformatory at Buena Vista for a $16 theft. During the week preceding the shooting of Kronke, the youth had been implicated in 13 petty thieveries, police testified at the trial. Asked by Judge s. D..
