Promises Not To Run Away
From Home In The Future
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

Michael Slavkovsky of Braddock,
Pa, arrived in Mt. Vernon at 1850
Saturday morning to take his son, Ed
ward Slavkovsky, back home.
The man sought Juvenile officer
Purcell early in the morning and his
first request was to see his son. He
was taken to the juvenile detention
ward at the county Jail and the meet
ing between father and son was quite
pathetic. The boy broke down and
cried for several minutes. Young
Slavkovsky stated that he wanted to
60 back home and promised that he
would not run away in the future.
Juvenile Officer Purcell turned the
boy over to his father upon condition
that he would report each month to
the juvenile court in Mt. Vernon. The
father stated he would see to this.
Slavkovsky stated to Banner rep
resentative that the boy went to
school in Braddock on April %, and
that he did not return from school in
the afternoon. That was the last
heard of him until the telegram from
Officer Purcell was received in Brad
dock Friday afternoon. The man
stated that his son had been reading
books and stories of cowboy and In
dian life and had stated that he want
ed to go west. 1t is believed that the
reading of these stories caused the
young boy to run away from home
and see the country.
Slavkovksy and the boy departed at
2:01 Saturday afternoon for Brad
dock, Pa.
