Boy Held For Murder In Pacific Missouri
A sixteen year old Chester Lynch was held for the murder of Lafe Jett after a quarrel over rough handling of a girl with a dampened handkerchief. Lynch, smaller in stature, confronted Jett with a shotgun at the railroad station and warned of killing. Witness Rowden heard only the threat before the shot rang out and Jett fell. Lynch, arrogant, refused to surrender weapons and boasted of fighting with bare hands before officers later took him to the county jail in Union, Missouri.
