The boys father DR.. y. Fuller, makes
public the facts in letter to the press,
answering the charges of willful de-
sertion made by Il few newspapers Of
the state.
According to Dr.. Fuller. ana mis-
statements are corroborated by the two
specialists, the boy was over-developed
in some lines, but sub-normal in 9TH
ers. He had always Stunned compan-
ions, finding his only interest in travel.
He had had no interest in the war, and
hardly understood what was expected
OF him on entering the service.
Military heads at Jefferson Barracks
assured Dr. Fuller that the guard had
had no intention of killing the boy,
and was stunned to find him dead. The
guard had to serve a sentence for al J
lowing a prisoner to escape, and in the
case of Fuller. meant only to inf1ict a
flesh wound and scare him.
The lad was entitled to funeral with
full military honors. but the parents
felt that burial in his uniform was suf-
