Rev. w. w. Browne, principal of
the Comic school, Rochester, N. H., was
arrested a few days ago. charged with
an aggravated assault upon schoolboy,
one Louis Label, twelve years of age.
The boy testified that he was beaten
about the shoulders several times and
once on the head, the last blow infiicting
cash from which the blood flowed
freely. At the request of G. B. Gatney,
counsel for the prosecution. the lad barred
his back, which showed plainly the black
and blue marks left by the ruler with
which the punishment was inflicted.
The prisoner was ordered by Judge Ella
to pay the enormous fine of 81 and costs.
The horrible and revolving crime for
which the boy was thus numerically
thrashed was that of whispering in
school. - Chicago Times.
