Moon Madness Denied At Arson Trial in Butler
In Butler Pennsylvania a 31 year old brickyard worker Paul Wild faced arson and wrecking charges for four freight train wrecks and a fire causing about 100000 in damage. He claimed the moon made him act seeking to avoid police harassment. A police statement said Wild spoke of a “buzzing feeling” under the full moon and an urge to burn or wreck. Witnesses including a clergyman testified he admitted wrecking a Pennsylvania Railroad train in January. The defense notes a statute limits prosecution to one arson count though charges cover multiple fires at a lumber yard and coal tipple.
