St Louis youths case limits murder indictment on mental illness claim
Robert L Brown, 17, confessed to police last November that he fatally stabbed Miss Frieda Moeller during a purse theft attempt. A Circuit Court Grand Jury opted not to indict, ruling he was mentally retarded and unstable, and ordered confinement at Fulton Mental Hospital. Brown was rearrested under state health statutes as the judge cited conflicting statements and testimony of a Springfield doctor. Separately, three Missourians and one Illinois resident won St Louis Metropolitan Opera auditions, with four others named alternates, advancing to Midwest regional rounds in Kansas City for a chance at Met contracts and prizes.
