Crased Inventor's Crime In Pittsburgh Family Tragedy
A seventeen year old boy, Charles Cawley, killed his mother and sister with an axe while they slept in Pittsburgh while planning an air brake invention. He wounded four other children, attempted to kill two older brothers, was overpowered by James, and turned over to police. He denied the killings then offered a different account of events. He had been laboring under mental strain from patent work and his alleged invention. The family lived in a six room house and slept around 10 pm. The tool used was an axe. The motive remains linked to a controversial device for air and power brakes under development. The murderer showed resistance while being transported to the station and could not identify his brother. The story notes his kind disposition and affection for family prior to the incident.
