Youth's Trial For Murder Continued 13-Year-Old Boy On Trial In Chicago Chicago, Feb. 18, — (UP) — A jury of 10 women and two men listened today to tne story of how 13-year-old Howard Lang slit the throat of his seven-year-old playmate and smashed his head with a piece of concrete. * Assistant state’s attorney Alex Napoli described the slaying of little Lonnie Fellick in his opening statement. The jurors, most of them parents, shuddered. Howard Lang, the youngest murder defendant in Chicago’s history, bit his lip and slouched in his chair. He gazed at the far corner of the room. His mother, Mrs. Alma I Lang, 42, wept. Defence attorney Samuel Andalman told the jurors that the defense "will be the history of this boy from his birth.” Andalman said he woud show that Howard Lang is the product of his environment, the drab industrial neighborhood on Ohicago’sl west side. “We will show, by his antecedents and his environment, that* this boy is insane,” Andalman Baid. Napoli, the prosecutor, began his story of the crime on Oct. 17, the day before it happened, when young Lang stole $lO from his mother. The youth bragged of the theft to a friend, Gerald Michalak, 9, and together they bought ice cream and candy. Lang bought a Boy Scout knife, too. The next day, Napoli said, little Lonnie Fellick learned of the theft from Michalak. Later, the two younger boys met Lang and they boarded a street car and went to Thatcher Woods, a forest preserve which had become a rendezvous for juvenile delinquents. “There, certain acts of perver- . sion were performed,” Napoli said. “They smoked cigarettes and Lon- . nie talked, about the $lO Howard had .stolen from his mother. “This angered Howard. He took out his Boy Scout knife and pretended once to stab Lonnie in the , chest with the knife unopened. Then, he really stabbed the boy. When Lonnie started to fall he stabbed him in the back. He stepI ped on his neck and slit his throat , several times. o > Secaur-Upholstering Phone 1686 T Special Sale! J cleansing creams!

Sheriff Herman Bowman, who arrested Erhart, charged him with driving 75 miles per hour in a 30mile zone on Thirteenth street.
