In Sandpoint Idaho on September 8 a neighbor described 15 year old Charlotte Burns who is accused of beating her father Charles Burns to death with a hammer as a girl who never had anything. Eleanor Smith testified at the preliminary hearing that the Burns home was unclean. The judge took the case under advisement as Charlotte sat silent and did not testify. She had said her father promised a trip and that she had visited a town only twice in her 15 years.
