YOUTH ATTACKS
RABBITS FINED
Rowdyism of Youngsters Must
Stop, Is Warning Of Chief
Police Cox.

Rowdies who find aged Jewish
gentlemen fine marks for ridicuie
and attack were issued summary
warning OF police action against
them for such offenses, by Justice

Tom Cox today. Robert Wynn, al
legged perpetrator of number of
such attacks, verbal and other
wise, was fined IS and also paid

$1140, on the complaint of Rabbi
Abraham Lerman.
Young Wynn, Rabbi Lerman
charged, yesterday assaulted him
at Twenty-seventh street, between
Sixth and Seventh avenues, in
which vicinity the youth lives. Ac-
cording to Mr. Lerman's account in
court this morning, the boy tried to
push him off the street, and later
struck him forcibIy in the face with
his fist, knocking the aged rabbi
down.
Max Taxman, Rabbi Lerman and
others of the creed, in police court,
related other outrages of this sort,
in which for example young ruff
fans pulled the old mems boards
and otherwise molested them. Sew
eral of these stories implicated
young Wynn.
This sort of thing is going to
stop right now" Judge Kelly said
in imposing Wynn's fine.

this community" Chief Cox said.
Boys who are complained against
for molesting them will be severely
dealt with by the police"
