BLOODY WOUNDS on CHILDREN
WHIPPED FOR STEALING APPLES


Bradley farm. Of the River read. Tie
SAID that en- Monday night he had
found some children IN the only apple
tree with fruit on 4 on his farm. He
said ne rad chased them away. and
had not touched the girls On We'd
nesday he said he had found about 10
boys on the ground and five IN his
tree stealing apples. They had in
suited him and SO he said he had used
the whip on three Of them.
Arthur Perry. brother Of George.
told practically the same story as
Gid the hired man on the Bradley
farm.
Prosecuting Attorney Morse said
the case was undoubtedly one Of
breach Of peace. even though the de-
PENDANT had pleaded through counsel
mot guilty" He said the only prop
er thing for Mr. Perry TO have done
under the circumstances would have
been to resort TO the police. He said
that under Perry's own admission he
was guilty Of assault.
Attorney Arthur S. Macdonald.
speaking for the defendant. said his
client had done no more than was
right in protecting MS property inter
esis. He said the injuries were not
serious and whipping was the best
punishment for children who stole.
Judge Macdonald said he had no
doubt of the defendants guilt He
said: 4 realize the predicament in
which the defendant found himself
and have no doubt that the whipping
was administered while Perry was an
cry. But do not believe that the boys
fully realized the crime they were
committing by stealing apples. and
that they were too young TO be at
tackled IN the way they were. Accord
ing to the law man has no right to
strike another under any circumstan-
ees except for protection. Therefore

History Stories of
Connecticut



Il used to be the custom TO call the
United State Brother Jonathan Just
As we now can the country by the
nickname Of Uncle sam.
We DO not know who was the first
man 10 apply the name to cur country
but /; was George Washington who
caused the name TO be adopted
When the Revolutionary War
broke out IN the thirteen colonies
there was one governor and only one
who joined the patriots in their
struggle against the British King and
his tyranny. That governor was
Jonathan lrumhull Of Connecticut.
When we read Of what he did TO help
Washington and his army we can
realize why Washington loved him,
trusted him, and looked to him for
help and advice whenever he WIS in
trouble.
The War for Independence began
in l775 and Governor Trumbull was
among the first men TO encourage
volunteers to go to Boston and Cam
bridge in order to help form the Anne
riean army. The next year when
Nashington's army went 10 New York
more than half Of his 1900 men
were from Connecticut. Throughout
the six years Of the war Washington
depended upon Jonathan Trumbull
more than he did upon any ether man
TO help him collect troops, provide
food, clothing, and ammunition. write
letters 20 Committees of Safety for
their advice and assistance in carry
ing on the war. and to do everything
that was necessary to keep the sold
iers and patriots united and loyal to
the army and its eommander-in-chief.
Washington soon formed the habit
Of saying whenever he needed advice
or assistance, "Let us consult Brother
Jonathan" Brother Jonathan
seemed to represent the whole eoun-
try and in time public speakers, poets,
authors. newspaper men, IN fact ev-
erybody came to use Brother iona
than as nickname for the United
States.
