five years la the Mate penitentiary
far a crime that eras almost a parallel
to King Richard Ill's, except that il
Sid set result In the death »f tne In

Some time ago Bott, who lived in
I the nttfhtorbood of Richweods, e
! small farming settlement not far
'fnem Wnlaut Ridge, was appointed
I guardian of two small nephews whose
pareats had died. One of the boys
'was 11 vaors old and the ether 4.
They baa been left iaauranee amoun
ting to about 21,009.
The crime to which Bolt pleaded
guilty, although saying “I did not do
It." was an attempt to hill the two
boys, so that hr could obtain the in
surance money. Drat by attempting to
starve them,. thou by direct assault.
The resourcefulness of the older boy
blocked the starvation ptaa. Locked
