The Daily Independent April 1, 1893
Chicag,March 31- Two boys, one 14 and the other 15 years of age, were today 
given practically life sentences in the penitentiary for murder, both being 
sent up for forty years. The younger of the two is William Blunck and the 
other John T.Luvrne. The crime for which the boys were convicted was the 
murder of Albert E.Eckroth in May last. One of them pushed a revolver in 
Eckroth's face while the other attempted to rob him. Eckroth resisted and was 
shot dead. Blunck was captured running from the scene and by and by made a 
confession which implicated Luvrne, who was arrested on the followinf day. 
When the verdict was rendered this afternoon Luvrne was overcome, but Blunck 
took it calmly.
