BOY SLAPPED
FOR GOOD AIM
WITH PEBBLE

Under certain conditions a man is
justified in chastising bad boy with
out taking the trouble to report the
youngsters misbehavior to his father
SO that the parents can apply the rod,
according to ruling by Mayor Rob-
bins In city court this morning.
The mayor told Alfons Collett that
he probably acted like any other man
would, under similar circumstances,
when he slapped 15-year-old George
Cole after George had smote him in
this face with q small stone propelled
from a niger shooter
However, the mayor held that Col
lott was technically guilty of assault
and battery, and fined him 81 and
costs. Collett announced that he
would file q charge Of provoke against
the boy In Juvenile court
Mayor Robbins in his ruling also ex.
pressed approval of summary punish:
fhent for boys who hooked on" wag-
ons.
Wrong Person Blamed.
If q boy gets hurt doing that, then
the driver gets the blame" the mayor
said. consequently IL q boy persists
In hooking onto q vehicle after he
has been ordered not to do so. thing
the driver would be Justified in chas-
tising him"
Prosecutor Keller declared, however,
that only the father OF bad boy has
the right to administer corporal pun
ishment.
Eliza D. Cole, manager Of local
creamery, and father of George, de-
clared that Collett had slapped the
wrong boy; that his son had solemnly
told him that he did not have mig
ger shooter"
'He told you just what any boy
would have said to get out of trouble, -
replied Collett.
Collett said he was driving his ma
chine along Laurel street, and group
Of boys were playing in the roadway.
All got out of the road of the machine,
he said, except young Cole. He said
he had to turn sharply to avoid run
ming the boy down. Then, he said,
George shot him in the face with his
"nigger shooter" Collett said he
stopped the machine and accused the
boy of making the attack. George,
Collett said, called him liar, and he
then slapped him.
