As relatives arranged funeral services for the farm wife whom the boy killed “because she scolded me-too much,” the youthful killer brooded over hls probable punishment in his cell at Logansport jail. “I guess I did do wrong,” the boy said to the prosecutor. He added that he expected to be punished. “I'll probably get 50 or 60 years—
