HANG BOY TRAITOR"
Youngsters Visit to Movie has
Do.,,Jtc

vo,nosters' Visit to Movie Has
Serious Results.
New York, Aug. 23.-ln carrying
ort the sentence of boys court
martial Tuesday, "Gen." Morris Co.
hen - years old, "who gave to the
enemy the plans of the fortress, 'he
fortress being the chimney Oh ah
anortment house roof at l427 Sc
Marks avenue, Brooklyn. was huhg
over the cornice of the house until
the sentence of death was almost
fulfilled. Morris is in st. Mary 5
Hospital in Brooklyn, and although
physicians say his condition IS serl-
Gus, it is expected he will recover.
With several other boys, Morris
went to the "movies" yesterday
where he saw the Gust penalty 1or
treason inflicted on a young man
who bore his fate manfully and IN
sisted upon hanging himself. After
the show the boys decided to re-
enact the film ON the room of 4 tene-
ment house, and Morris volunteered
10 be the traitor. A gallows was
erected on the roof Of the three
story house, and was fixed so that
the guilty officer should hang over
~
the edge of the roof, with death GER
tain if the rope broke and the victim
fell to the ground.
After all the ceremony had been
finished Morris carried out the sent
ence of the court with such impress
sivcness that the boys fled in fear.
Even the physicians who had been
assigned to feel his pulse could not
stand the ordeal. Finally play be-
came reality and Morris was almost
dead when a negro janitor saw him
hanging limp over the cornice. He
was so frightened that he ran, too,
but his pace attracted TIE attention
Of Mrs. Cohen and her neighbors,
who climbed the roof. They had
difficulty in getting the limp body
of the boy over the cornice.
I The police began a search for the
generals" who had ordered the
execution and Morris was held on a
charge of Juvenile delinquency.

Regardless of whether the Pope's
document was inspired by Austria,

America is fighting.
