charge of assulting Ray Stewart, a 12-
year-old prisoner at the institution.
Lyons gave bond.
Lyons and Superintendent Sloan, of

had been sentenced to three days
solitary confinement in a dark cell.
This incchsed Judge Hanecy still more.
This is the most outrageous thing

sentencing boy II years old to soli-
tary confinement for three days in a
dark cell is almost beyond belief. That
such a thing should exist is a COM

Otis field transport service is de-

exist between the United States army
and navy at the front. and Commander

government should do is to recall this
man. 1t Is really pitiable to see the
