Terrible Infantile Tragedy
April 30, 1889Canton, O., april 29.—While a number of children were playing at Malverno Saturday, two of them, Charles Dickman, aged 5, and Johnny Hexawer, aged 8, cousins, got into a childish quarrel, when when Hexawer seized a shotgun that was standing near by and fired at the Dickman child, the entire charge taking effect in his head. The murder caused the wildest excitement, and the parents of both the youthful murderer and his infantile victim are well nigh crazed over the terrible tragedy.
