Father Admits He Is The Slayer Of Infant Daughter
Paterson New Jersey, September 18. Fred Goodell Jr., 22, will be arraigned today for the murder of his infant daughter after hours of questioning. He admitted in a temper that he struck the child with a chair tray, then found her dead, wrapped her in a towel, and carried her in a shopping bag through city streets. He later showed police where the body was buried in a shallow crevice on Garrett Mountain overlooking Paterson. The story notes a historical aside about St. Francis Xavier dying near China in 1552.
