Attacks fiancé
[ca. June 1955]
Pvt. Robert Allen, 17, sits in Lynn police headquarters after he confessed to the attacking of his fiancee, Geraldine Trenholm, 15, of Crosby st., Lynn. Allen told police a bizarre story after telephoning them that "I killed my girl friend, I've murdered her." Directed by the young soldier, they found her on edge of Lynn Harbor and nearby was a 72-pound rock which Allen said he dropped on her. Her condition is fair at Lynn Hospital.
