State V. Triplett

Jimmy Bremmers, an eight-year-old boy, disappeared from his home in Sioux City about 8 p.m. on August 31, 1954. His badly decomposed body was found in a field in Plymouth County on September 29 following. Medical testimony at the trial showed that the cause of death was two severe wounds in the head, each of which indented the skull. These wounds, according to the expert testimony, could not have been made by a blow from a hand or fist, but must have been caused by striking with a wooden or metal instrument.
