They all had new suits on, which it
is presumed they bought with Sl8

the heighborhood. The Oldest of the
quartette was fined $50. The Others
were all under ten years of age and
consequently could not be bound over.
They were ordered to be kept and

promiscuous grab game, but was sys-
tematically planned, one Of them civ,

get to him, and felt an uncomfortable
desire to kill him on the spot.
