fifteen years old, of Creston. was
cleared in district court here today of
a charge of first degree murder in
connection with the death of Pansy
Turnbull, seventeen-year-old Diagon
al, la., school girl. The case ended
abruptly when Judge A. R. Mi;xw 11
sustained a defense motion of a di
rected verdict in favor of the youth.
A similar charge against Terrancc
Luton, seventeen, of St. Josph. Mo.,
probably will be dismissed, fie prose
cution announced. Count' Attorney
James Lucas alo was considerii.g the
advisability of dropping assault
charges against the boys.
Judge Maxwell in ordering an cc
quittal verdict, ruled that the state
had failed to show that the Turnbull
girl had been mistreated es charged
and that the testimony in part sub
stantiated the defense contention tliat
the girl met accidental death when
she fell or jumped from an automobile
driven by Howard.
