Youth Faces Life Sentence In Shooting of Woman
A 19 year old Mansfield Reformatory parolee was found guilty of first degree murder for shooting his sister Mrs Mary Campbell in her Mineral home last April. Jurors recommended mercy, resulting in a life sentence. Campbell, 21, formerly of Athens County, was in the Mineral community four years ago. The killer, Barnett, testified he feared she would tell authorities of his parole violation and used a .22 rifle. The case arose as Barnett faced auto theft charges and he surrendered after a warning shot was fired over his head. Lena, six months old, slept as the shooting occurred. Dennis, three, was present.
