two days defying third-degree
methods of the police, Leslie Car
son, 12, Thursday admitted that he
ehot and killed his playmate, John
Wisniewki, 12, while tbey were
playing Indian. Young Carson
said the shooting took place in the

afraid he would be hanged for mur
der. The boy's tragedy was learned
only two days ago, when Wisniewa
kPs body was found frozen stiff and
with a wound in the chest.
"I couldn't sleep at night," said
Carson, who feared he would be
hanged. "All the time I kept away
from the basement. I was afraid
to go down there. But one day my
mother made me go down there and
help her wash the clothes. I was
afraid my mother would Bee John's
body lying there in the corner, but
she didn't. I am glad I didn't say
anything to her about it."
