pairing to deal Friday with a 16-
year-old Milton boy held in the

everything and solved various
mysteries Wednesday with arrest

established near Surprise lake.
II appeared he had set out
on his adventure by taking q
~ rifle and 500 rounds of
ammunition belonging to his
dad.
Later he broke into the Milton
grade school where he got flash
light and on the teachers desk. an
envelope containing $10.21 of Red
Cross money collected from the
pupils.
Still later he broke a front
window in the Simmons grocery
store in Milton and there helped
himself to two cartons of cigarets,
two pair of work gloves and a big
box of matches.
Then he set out for the lake
shore where he appropriated q
canoe and paddles, loaded his
loot aboard the canoe and
padded across the lake, The
old blanket he had picked up
evidently had proved insuffic-
lent protection. from the elc-
ments, 10 he had bedded down

Year in Jail
For Slayer

Luigi Yaconetti, whose knife
caused the death of Lester Walden
last June 80. pleaded guilty to
charge of manslaughter late Wed
nesday afternoon before Superior
Judge e. D. Hodge and was SEN
fenced to one year in the county
Jail.
Yaconetti has been in the county
fail since July s awaiting DISPOSE
ton Of his case and the court took
this into consideration in the sem
tence, which was set to start from
the time he entered the Jail.
The first charge filed
against Yaconetti was an in
formation for second degree
murder, but Prosecutor Thor
c. Tollefson decided the Of
tense should be reduced TO
manslaughter after all cir
cumstances had been con-
sidered.
It was recalled that Yaconetti
was walking along Fawcett ave.
when he saw Walden carrying two
Rhode Island Red chickens which
Yaconetti declared were his.
A quarrel over the chickens re-
suited. During the exchange of
heated words, Walden struck Yaco-
netti across the face with the
chickens. At that, they went into
a fight and during it, Yaconetti
got out his knife. The blade cut
one of Vaden's arteries and Walden
bled to death.
Up to that time, the court was
advised, Yaconetti had been a
steady employee of the Port of Ia
coma for many years and had a
clean record. He is 40 years old.
