CHAINED TO A BANNIsrER,
The Inhuman Treatment Indicted ON n
Elght-Year-Old Boy.


Eight-Year-Old Boy.
A heavy dog chain and lock played an import
ant part in an assault case tried in Judge Mills
court this morning. Policeman Hauze nled
them an exhibit in the case of Walter Chap
pell, colored man, who was charged with the
inhuman treatment of Chester Chappell, his
eight>year-old nephew. The prisoner lives al
No. $40 oath street, where he ill-treated the
child. The little boy, an MISUNDERSTANDING
youth. was well dressed, and showed evidence
Of having been well cared for, with the excep-
ton Of the punishment In this case.
Sergeant Myers and Officer Hauze told Of the
condition OF affairs at the house Of the colored
people. When they went there they found the
boy chained BY the neck with the lock closed
so that he could not take the chain from abou,
his neck. The chain was too short to allow the
boy room to walk about, but was not tight
enough about his neck to rub Of the skin or
make any bruises.
sergt. Meyers said he thought the boy was
bordering on imbecility and much treatment
Of this sort would make him q maniac In q
years time.
The boy was questioned by the court and he
managed to tell that his uncle chained him to
the bannister.
In behalf of the defendant the boys mother
appeared and said that the boys uncle chained
him. She said that he stays away from home
several hours at time and won't always mind
her.
The boys grandmother also appeared for the
defense and corroborated what the mother had
said.
The defendant also made q statement. He
denied that he whipped the boy yesterday in
addition to claiming him The boy. he Said,
was a bad one and he had to be corrected. 81
chained him, he said, because I wanted to
shame him."
The judge, in disposing Of the case, said that
there are lawful and proper means for the pun
ishment OF children and it is the duty Of the
parent OF guardian to employ such means when
they attempt such correction. The law requires
such correction to be done in q way that 10 not
thurman.
Il wasn't inhuman," interrupted the pris-
oner.
There cases in which the court and the
prisoner are not of the same opinion" added
the judge. land this is one Of these cases. This
child was not treated in a humane way. He Is
n human being, ana not a wild animal. 1t is
therefore unnecessary to chain him as If he
we're hyena."
II only wanted to shame him" the prisoner
again interrupted.
And am going to shame you" retorted the
judge. II am going to send you to Jail for
three months without fine
won't you send me to the penitentiary?''
he asked. This is my first ofense''
''Step aside
But won't you send me to the penitentiary?''
Keep quiet" said Prosecuting Attorney
Clagett. ''or I'll file a charge against you that
viii send you there
please send me to the penitentiary," re-
peated the prisoner as he left the court for the
cell room below.

What He Got for AssaultinR an Officer.

Policeman Sengstack Of the third precinct
appeared in the Police Court yesterday as the
prosecuting witness in the case of a negro
named Richard Keys, whom he charged with
assault. The officer was on duty several nights
ago and when he arrested the negro the latter
assaulted him, getting possession of his club
and beating and kicking him.
Keys demanded a jury trial and it took but a
short while for the jury to return a verdict of
guilty.
Judge Mills said he thought it was about
time that prisoners had learned that it was
always best for them to go along quietly when
placed under arrest Such assaults as this
will not be permitted nor will the court impose
moderate penalties. The negro was thereupon
sentenced to 364 days in Jail without fine.
