In Reading Pennsylvania on September 4, the defense pressed to spare Marshall Wittman, aged about 15, from prison for allegedly killing his father Robert Wittman. The mother Beulah Wittman testified the father abused the family, refused Marshall food, and threatened them, with the prosecutor noting prior abuse by the father.

Former Suitor Admits Philadelphia Murder
A former suitor admits committing a Philadelphia murder. He climbed three flights to Miss Ervin's apartment, shot her, discarded the gun in a tub, then fled. Neighbors recall the killer’s cold expression as he entered and a 14 year old girl’s chilling rebuke. Camden police detained him near his home after a tip from Philadelphia authorities. In a separate note, Pennsylvania State College urged a nationwide 35 mph speed limit, arguing lower speeds save life and property.
