SCHOOLBOY’S CRIME.
MURDER ADMITTED. NEW YORK, Dec. 19.

Macari said he murdered Laino by striking him on the head with a lead pipe after a quarrel and hid the body in an abandoned tenement. Police found the body in a narrow clothescloset on the fourth lloor. The father was unable to identify the body, but said the clothing resembled his sou’s.
