• The four teens charged with murder in the random attack on Sean Patrick Conroy in a Center City subway concourse were jailed without bail yesterday, although the lawyer for the youth arrested on the day of the crime claims his client did not take part in the beating, but only stood by in shock.

This time it was on the walkway between the Gallery and a SEPTA platform at 8th and Market streets, and a dozen teens (six girls and six boys) were involved. The victim, a 24-year-old woman, lost a tooth, suffered partial loss of vision following the attack, and has painful bumps and cuts on her head. But she was able to ask for help and positively identify five suspects who were captured by SEPTA police officers on the subway car at Fairmount Avenue.
