Did Not Mean to Kill Says Raphael Altman in Detention
Fifteen year old Raphael Altman, held at the House of Detention after a fatal stabbing of Ernest Langley near New Jersey avenue and E streets SE, insists he did not intend harm. He tearfully recounts playing as a child, claims no quarrel over a wooden box, and expresses sorrow for Ernest’s mother while saying he would not have harmed him for the world. His story shows he believed Ernest only slightly wounded and that the act was accidental, with detectives and family involvement noted.
