Boy, 13, Kills Stepmother
With .22 Rifle Because
“She Was Too Strict*’
GLEN HEAD, N.Y., UP)—A 13
year-old boy, whose stepmother’s
death was believed for hours to be
the result of 4 heart attack, told
police he shot the woman because
“she was too strict.”'
Kenneth R. Corcoran Jr. re
membered no mother other than
Mrs. Irma Corcoran, 49, whom his
father married 10 years ago.
After the woman was discov
ered slain by a .22 rifle shot at the
front door of the Corcoran home
Saturday night, police quoted
Kenneth as saying:
“She picked on me . . . she said
I closed the door too hard . . . she
said I wore my shoes out too fast
. . . she said I scuffed her rugs . . .
she didn’t like me.”
Kenneth’s 39-year-old father, a
Naval lieutenant, asked unbeliev

did you do this?”
“Yes, I did,” police quoted the
son in reply.
Police held the boy as a juven
ile delinquent.

2 Americans Freed
By Russians After
Years of Captivity
BERLIN, (Jt—Two Americans
were released by the Russians last
Friday after years of captivity in
a Soviet slave camp. They were
described by U.S. oficials as being
in remarkably good physical con
dition.
The two men handed over by
the Russians in Berlin are Pvt.
William Marchuk, 38, of Norris
town, Pa., and John H. Noble, 31,
of Detroit.
Marchuk, listed as a deserter
since 1949, was taken into Army
custody. Noble, a civilian, trapped
by the war, was turned over to
the U.S. State Department.
Both had been in the Soviet
Union’s most notorious Siberian
slave labor camp, Vorkuta.
America authorities said both
men appeared in good health but
they will be given an extensive
physical examination in the Army
hospital here.
In the meantime, they are being
questioned by intelligence auth
orities.
Noble, a slightly built man, was
cheerful as he arrived at the head
quarters of the U.S. Army’s pro
vost marshal. He told U.S. Consul
Norman K. Pratt he was “delight
ed ” to cooperate with any inter
rogators, and he added:
“I have a lot to tell.”
Marchuk, still wearing the little
dark moustache he affected as a
soldier in West Berlin, lapsed into
sullen silence.
Army officers who picked Mar
chuk up at Soviet headquarters in
Karlshorst, in East Berlin, said
the former soldier asked for a cig
aret. He told them it was his first
one in six years. Then he said
nothing more.
Army officers said Marchuk *
may face a court-martial because
he still is listed as a deserter and
there is no intention of “making
a hero out of a deserter.”
