BOY MURDERS CHUM
13-YEAR-OLD AMERICAN CRIMINAL (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) New York, Dec. 19. The disappearance of Francis Laino, the 10-year-old son of Dr Frank Laino, who has been missing for three months, was solved by the confession of a chum, John Macari, aged 13, who was recently sent to a State training school for boys as an incorrigible. Macari said that he murdered Laino by striking him on the head with a lead pipe after a quarrel. He hid the body in an abandoned tenement. The police found the body in a narrow clothes closet on the fourth floor. The father was unable to identify the body, but said that the clothing resembled his son’s.
