Life sentence for man in policeman's killing in Chester

A 26 year old man received a life term for second degree murder in the October 13 slaying of Sgt. Morris Albany at John’s Bar in Chester. McIntyre expressed remorse and blamed an accomplice for the murder. Norman Marvel, crippled from the waist down, fired the fatal shot and was paralyzed during the exchange. McIntyre had earlier been tied to the 1969 Blue Tattoo case and was on parole at the time. The judge cited danger to the community and added 10 to 20 years on a robbery conviction, delaying parole. A Christmas concert is planned at Indian Lane church with a Festival of Lessons and Carols.
