YOUTH C0NFESSES
SISTERS MURDER

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. June "a
W.P)-Thi-teen-year-old Earl Laurie
was charged with murder by po-
lice today after he allegedly con-
fessed to the 'ice-box'' sex-slaying
of his 6-year-old sister. Hazel
Thursday.
Chief Raymond P. Gallagher
said in a statement that the vic.
TINS brother Earl was charged
with murder and that two younger
brothers, Raymond, IL, and John
II, were held on open charges for
arraignment in District Court to-
morrow.
In a signed confession, Earl
acknowledges he had illicit rela-
tons with his sister, Hazel, and
also with hi. 9-year-old sister. Beu
lah," Chief Gallagher reported.
These illicit relations had been
going on over a period of at least
a year."
Hazels brutally ravished body
was discovered entombed in an
unused icebox beneath rear
porch Friday, a day after she had
been attacked in the cellar of her
home. Earl reputedly told police
that he slammed the icebox door
shut when he discovered his sister
curled inside it an hour and a half
after the attack. Little Hazel ap-
parently suffocated slowly in her
makeshift tomb, for evidence re-
vealed that she must have pound
ed desperately and vainly against
the metal door to free herself.
The boy allegedly told police
that he later joined in the search
for his sister, but was afraid to
60 near the icebox. Hazels body
was found by Mrs. Mary GILBERT,
a tenant in the house where the
Lauries live.

ticide, which is not yet on the mar.

armed services and is being tested
by experts, has given exceptional
results in North Carolina, say ex.

Poultry houses on one farm for
example, had been infested with
bedbugs for II years and thou
sands of dollars had been spent in
trying to rid the houses of the pest.
The owner was planning to sell
his chickens, burn his poultry hous-
es, and go out of business.
After treatment with a five per
cent solution of DOT in kerosene.
no live bugs were found. A thorough
search at the end of two months
showed no bugs and DOT had won
the fight. The new insecticide has
also been found to be especially
useful in fighting flies, mosquitoes
and cockroaches.
