Trial In Erie Man Accused Of Killings Continues
The defense began presenting its case in the Erie man Donald Chism trial for the January 27 killings of his wife, three children, and an adop tive father. A key witness, Herbert MacDonnell, disputed Chism’s claim he covered a son with a parka hours after the shooting. Meanwhile in Williamsport, six youths detained at Lycoming County Prison faced a fatal fire. State Rep. David Richardson said the blaze likely was deliberate, with three youths dead and three seriously burned, as authorities noted law limits on juvenile detention. Warden Truman Hartley said the fire started around 12:30 a.m. and that adult prisoners on the first floor were unaffected.
