boy. frequently interrupting his
recital with the remark II sup
pose everybody will hate me for
this" calmly confessed today he
killed a 7-year-old companion

fession went on. he tossed the
boy. dead or unconscious, onto
a fire and subsequently hid the

at Christmas time. heaped pres
ents on him and made Tom guest
of honor at their class play.
Then on st. Valentines Day
on another special visit to his
classmates" Tom discovered
the children had set aside a big
box with his name on it, filled
with valentines for him alone.
