Youthful Crime Spiral Ends in Morgue and Jail

A Chicago youth dies by suicide after a Memphis drug-store hold up by four teenagers. Priscilla Frost, 15, of Beloit Wisconsin, and Dick Flannery, 16, Chicago, were captured at the scene near Brownsville Tennessee after a highway chase. Jimmy Magid, 15, and Chester Johnston, 16, Chicago, fled. Magid was found dead with a bullet to the temple. Johnston surrendered later. The group said they began banditry in Chicago last week, stealing a car and robbing an officer. Their trip to Rockford Illinois ended in California plans, then southward flight.
