LITTLE ROCK Students of sociology should note Albert Howell not yet 18, jailed at the Little Rock penitentiary branch Friday under a 10 year sentence for par aiding the Banks of Prairie Grove in Washington county on April 1. He is the son of William H Howell who was electrocuted in the Arkansas penitentiary for the murder of three at Crawford County Infirmary years ago. He is brother to Robert Howell, ex convict shot to death in a Californian bank robbery, and John Howell, serving 21 years at San Quentin for involvement in the same robbery. Albert Howell and Karl Long pleaded guilty to the Prairie Grove bank robbery and each drew 10 years. The Howell jinx seems to pursue the family as deputies en route to Life with Howell, Long, and a patient from the Hospital for Nervous Diseases were in a crash near Menifer Faulkner county.
