Indict a Girls in Grudge
Murder Of Rival

CHICAGO (ANP)- Four teen
age girls we're indicted by the
grand jury here last week for the
childish grudge Staying of a Du-
Sable high school senior girl. The
four, Edwina Howard, 18 and her
sister, Wilma, IA; and Evelyn and
Helen Rivers, 10 and II, respecti-
vely, are charged with Staying La
Won Cain, 16.
The Staying was the climax of
a high school grudge between the
deceased and the Howard sisters.
Police say the sisters had plotted
the preceding day to harm the
Cain girl because she had showed
one of them. Lavon was shot in
the back with a .38 calibre revol-
yer near DuSable' a week ago. Her
funeral services were held Satur-
day at Carter Temple CINE church.
According to Edwina, the grudge
shooting stemmed from the exist
ence of cliques in the school which
r constantly picking on each
other.
"The school is filled with oppos-
ing cliques that are constantly
picking at each other," she said.
Flights at the school are started
by members of one clique calling
members of the other group vul-
gar names. If you ignored them,
they would bump into you. If you
tried to defend yourself, they
would gang YOU"
Two years ago, a girl was hos
~pitalized after she had been beat
