Teen-Ager Charged in Station Killing
One of two teen brothers was charged with murder after the shooting death of service station attendant Clarence Curtis and the wounding of another. Clarence Allen 18 and his brother Robert 17 were arrested during a dispute over service at a Compton station. A .38 revolver tied to Curtis was found in Robert’s car. Another attendant, Michael Miller 18, was shot during the same incident and remained in critical condition. A $10,000 reward had been offered by Standard Oil for information leading to the attackers.
