Judge Cornish then asked Mr. SIM

done
Judge Cornish in rendering his de-
cision used the following language:
Il have listened with a great deal OF
pleasure to the very able argument of
Judge simmons and to the simple and
frank statement of Mr.. Butler The
single question for the consideration
of the court is this. In 1905 by Chap

passed an act for the better enforce
nent of the prohibitory law"
Judge Cornish quoted Section Eight
Of that act and continued:

rs Massachusetts avenue northwest, the
parents of Toney Petrello, an eight-year-
Old Italian boy, have failed to get any
clue to his whereabouts and today a
general alarm was sent out by the
police. While the boys father thinks
be may have been kidnapped. the police
are inclined to the theory that Toney
was stricken with a severe case OF
'wanderlust." and started out 70 see the
world on his own account.
Toney was last seen near the District
line beyond BrOokland the afternoon Of
April 8. He left his home. saying thai
he was going around the corner to play
with some other boys. Failing to re-
turn home for supper. his father man

The boy wore a dark coat, striped

is described rs large for his age. and
looks to be fully ten years old. He has
dark complexion and black eyes and
hair.
Mr.. Petrello made inquiry among his
sons playmates. but none OF them knew
anything about where he had gone. Ap-
parently. happy at home. TOney's par
ents know OF no reason why he would
leave voluntarily He had frequently
expressed a desire 10 travel. and the
police think he will probably be heard
from in some nearby city within the
next few days.
