Parents Make Protest.
Little Miss Benefits parents have
objected to her keeping company with
johnson because they regard him as a
booze fighter" The girl, however.
prefers him to all other young men of
her acquaintance and has persisted in
keeping company with him, running
away from her home at times to keep
appointments with him. Once, Chief
Goodwin says, the girl assaulted her
mother.
Being unable to control the child
any longer the police were appealed
to by her parents to take charge of
her to determine whether drastic
methods would make her more amen
able to discipline and cure her of her
infatuatiQn for johnson.
Today Chief Goodwin informed
Johnson that he would have to cease
paying attentions to the Bennett girl.
He readily promised to do so, but
sidestepped a promise to quit drink
ing. He told the chief he did not
drink very much"
