...hope and you've got life." Such was the consolation offered to 15-year-old Caril Ann Fugate 17 years ago by her grandmother just after the sobbing teen-ager was sentenced by a Nebraska court to life imprisonment. The court had found her guilty of aiding Charles Starkweather in one of the most savage and sensational crimes of the 1950s: a two-day rampage of murder and violence that trailed blood across two states and left ten dead in its wake. True to her grandma's sage prophecy, Caril last week was given her freedom...
...Starkweather murder spree, which inspired the 1974 movie Badlands, began in January 1958, in Lincoln, Neb. For no apparent reason, the 19-year-old bandy-legged high school dropout shot to death Caril's mother and stepfather and clubbed to death her two-year-old half sister in the family's rundown frame house. The two teen-agers quickly went from killing to killing, all without motive. The victims: a 70-year-old bachelor farmer, a teen-age couple, a well-to-do industrialist, his wife and his maid, and a traveling salesman. The epidemic of shootings turned...
Blommesteyn, guards Armand Hill and Mickey Steuerer and forward Barnes Hauptfuhrer are the standouts on Pete Caril's 5-4 squad this year. With wins over Fordham, Navy, Villanova and Davidson besides the Quaker conquest, the Tigers have shown a balanced scoring attack and a spartan defense. By holding Penn to 49 points, Princeton's frugal defensive unit shaved off some 30 points from the Quakers' normal point output...
...source material, unacknowledged, would appear to be the history of Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate, who went on a murder binge in 1958 that resulted in the deaths of ten people in Nebraska and Wyoming. Their motives were mostly abstract. They were moved to the initial killing because they both resented Caril's family, but they just carried on from there. Like their counterparts in Badlands, neither showed any considerable remorse over what they had done. Starkweather, to borrow a phrase from the film, took the juice in 1959; Fugate is still in prison and hoping for parole...
...cows in 1913. Fritz Haarmann, the "ogre of Hannover," combined homosexuality with the killing of at least 24 victims shortly after World War I. His lover, Hans Grans, was also convicted in the murders. In 1958 Charles Starkweather ran amuck in Nebraska with his 14-year-old girl friend, Caril Fugate, and killed ten people; he interrupted his murderous spree with an abnormal sexual assault on the body of one of his victims, a teen-age girl...
