A Skin Game.

One of the mosr peculiar legal deci- sions ever made was announced in Chicago by Justice Sabath a few day s ago. The son of one Chicago citizen named Czyet assaulted the son of anot- her Chicago citizen named kwit with g kettle of boiling water. The assaulte lad was so severely scalded that when conveyed t. hospital the medical au- thorities declared he would have to un- derg0 the painful and unusual opera tion of skin grating in order to live. The chief difficult" in the way of such operations is to find person willing to be skinned. Justice Sabath evidently believes in the case eye for an eye" doctrine. and after hearing the evidence in the case ordered young Czyet to fur nlsh from his own body as much cutlcle as his crime had taken from the KwIt boy on the penalty of being prosecuted in the criminal court on a charge Of murder, in the event of the latter's death. The Justice gave the lad eigHt days in which to comply with the terms of the judgement. The time expires October 28.
