A case was reported to; the j Central police headquarters late today which bears every indication of subsequent devel opments, showing that a 5-y ear-old has been murdered , by a, youth of . 15 years Percy Lockyar, aged 5 years, who j-esides at 6130 Hazel avenue, in. the outskirts of West Philadelphia,, did not reurn home last evening and vigilant search failed to' disclose his whereabouts. The distressed parents notified the police of one of the West Philadelphia 'districts and a thorough, but unsuccessful, search of a strip of woods near the little fellow's home' was made. Today it was learned that Samiuel Henderson, aged 15 years, whose home is near that of the Lock yar family, had been seen in the woods with Percy. He at first denied. ; hav ing seen the child, but, on being close ly questioned ,by, the police, t admitted having been '. with him in the woods." He told several conflicting stories re garding' j Percy's disappearance, : at first declaring that the little boy had left him I to go to his home, j Then he said that while he . was whittling a stick with a large knife Percy had ac cidentally fallen against the blade which entered deeply into his breast. Henderson stated the 'blood spurted from: ' the wound and the child . fell dead. Fearing he would be arrrested, Henderson said.he threw the body into a creekj' which , flows through the woods. : In confirmation of this story hie led J the searchers to where the boy's ha,t and coat - had been hidden. They were identified by Percy's par ents.; j He also pointed out the place in the creek where he had thrown the body; ; The creek was dragged for quite a distance, but the body was not found.; The police believe the story of the child's; death and are of opinion that the killing was the deliberate act of Henderson.
