Belleville Boy Died At Cubmaster's Hands BELLEVILLE (CP)--A coro- ner's jury has decided that 10- year-old Tommy McNiven, kid- napped and lashed to a tree two month: ago, was killed by his cubmaster, The cubmaster, Thomas War- ren Wilhamson, 41, and father of two children, later shot him- self to death. The jury reached its verdict after 55 minutes' deliberation. It said Williamson strangled the boy "while in an unstable state of mind caused by financial dif- ficulties." "There is no doubt the boy's death was caused by a rope around his neck put there by the hands of Williamson." Tommy, a cub scout in this Eastern Ontario city, was found tied to a tree near a remote sideroad March 22, the day, after Williamson committed sui- cide with a shotgun.

The suspects -- Lorelle Parks, 22, and Joseph Maxey, 23-- were to be arraigned on mur- der charges today. The signed statement by Parks climaxed nearly a day of questioning Friday. The alert- ness of a taxi driver and a po- liceman were instrumental in apprehending Parks and Maxey within hours after the double slaying was discovered. The dead women were Mrs. Elliott Ewell, 49, of Westfield and Mrs. Robert Tyson, 50, of Plainfield, both socially promi- nent.

The women's bodies were found early Friday along with the Ewells' white Cadillac in which they had been abducted. Detectives said Mrs. Ewell had been run over more than once as she apparently tried to flee. Mrs. Tyson's body was found in- side the car. Clothing had been torn from each body. Detective Capt. Ernest Phil- lips said Friday night that Parks had signed a statement admitting he strangled Mrs. Ty- son after having relations with her. Parks accused Maxey of causing the death of Mrs. Ewell, Phillips said. "He (Parks) said he had re- lations with her (Mrs. Tyson) first and the killing was done in a fit of passion," Phillips said. Phillips said this story seemed "more likely" than Parks' ear- lier statements naming Maxey as "the perpetrator of both of these murders."

(AP) When two thugs waved razors at him and demanded his money, 92-year-old Cyrus Davis fought them for it. He had exactly $2. They took it--and left him for dead in an alley, his throat cut in four places. Davis lay there, bleeding, for five hours. Then his son, Billy, a policeman, found him. He had been searching for the missing man for hours. Doctors took 54 stitches in the wounds. They said he had lost perhaps five pints of blood. They held little hope for his recovery. That was six days ago. Today Davis is back in his home, sit- ting up and grieving mostly be- cause doctors won't let him smoke his old quota of three a day. . 4 How -did- he "go" ity "Stamina," said Davis. "A life of hard work. And a little nip now and then." A reporter asked Davis -- 17 times a grandfather and three times a great grandfather--why he didn't give the thugs his $2. "I guess I didn't know any better," said Davis. "But they say you're never too old to learn." DOG BITES MAN ONLY DOG HURT MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP)-- Dog bites man--dog goes to hospital. This is how it hap- pened: Lloyd Allen, president of the Manitowoc chapter of the Izaak Walton League, stopped at a farm to ask that the farmer open his land to hunt- ers. A collie streaked across the yard clamped its jaws around Allen's leg. Seconds later the dog dashed away howling. The farmer came out and asked whether Allen had hit the dog. "Never touched him," Allen said. Seeing disbelief in the farmer's face, Allen pulled up his pant leg.

Windsor police Latin Americans In Tractor Fund' WASHINGTON (AP) -- Fund-| Brendan Sexton, a UAW of- raising groups in more than half the countries of Latin America have joined U.S. citi- zens in efforts to buy tractors to ransom 1,200 rebel prisoners held by Cuba. This is part of evidence reach- ing Washington that Cu- ban Prime Minister Fidel Cas- tro has suffered a serious prop- aganda setback as a result of his prisoners-for-tractors offer. Other evidence comes from comments by Latin American newspapers and public speakers which are in striking contrast to the stream of anti « United States utterances received here many times in the past. The 10 prisoners Castro pa- roled a week ago to arrange a deal in the United States are due to return to Havana today. They carry a message from a U.S. tractors-for - freedom committee promising to supply the tractors if Castro frees the captives. However, the group headed by labor leader Walter Reuther, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dr. Milton Eisenhower, wants to send a technical committee to Havana to work out details and obtain assurances that the pris- oners actually will be released. Castro has yet to reply to a telegram sent early this week containing the Reuther group's acceptance. In Detroit, headquarters of the tractors-for - freedom com- mittee, contributions to the tractor fund are beginning to come in. Reuther, president of the|' United Auto Workers, said the committee had received two $25,000 contributions.
