Wilson, Dugald: 1956

Dugald Wilson, 67, was murdered by his son, Robert Wilson, 45, on December 30, 1956.

She called to Robert, who had been sleeping upstairs. He came downstairs with a .22 caliber pistol and shot his father three times. The elderly electrician died instantly.

Police Chief John Hansel planned to file murder charges, and Wilson was held a Blair County Prison. Wilson was arraigned in front of JP Robert C. Holland
