A 16-Year-Old Murderer

Uniontown, Pa.  Joseph Goodwin, aged 16, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in court yesterday for the killing of his uncle, John Welsh.
During a quarrel, which arose of his punishing his cousins, the children of John Welsh, he threw a hammer at his uncle. It struck him over the heart, causing death in two minutes.
