Saloonkecper McEnerney, in whose yard
the note was found. called in Policeman
Bray. The latter soon ascertained that
the Urner family lived in the 9TH street
building, and although Mrs. Urner as
sured him that there was no reason why
her eleven-year-old boy should have writ
ten such message the officer summoned
Sergeant Murphy and an investigation was
made. 1t appeared from the information
given the police that the boy objected to
attending school, and since the date mem
toned In the note his parents had been
giving him instructions at home The boy
had not been permitted to run the streets
and he had become tired of spending so
much time at home. Despite the trouble
the boy caused he considered the affair
