14 Year Old Confined for Life in Anamosa Reform School
In Manchester Iowa on April 1 Judge George W Wood heard the case of Charles Cornwell indicted for murder in the second degree of a four year old boy. Dr Orton concluded Cornwell has a mind of a child but lacks moral attributes, recommending lifelong confinement. Cornwell was sentenced to life at the Anamosa reform school. Also three burglars Archie Anderson Kenneth Cook and Lloyd Young were each sentenced to ten years in Anamosa for breaking and entering, with others implicated for related burglaries. Judge Wood will return to Manchester Thursday for motions and related matters. The article notes local property sales and other court actions.
