RICE IS FINED $50 FOR SHOOTING BOY Custodian OF Armory Given
 Hearing in Court CHARGE IS MODIFIED
Prosecuting Attorney Woods Says There Were Extenuating Circum- stances and Recommends Fine Pleads Nolo Contenderc.

Pleading nolo contendere to n plain assault charge. William J. Rice, aged 56, caretaker at the state armory, 2S5 Arch street, was fined $50 and costs by Judge W. c. Hungerford in police court this morning. Prosecuting Attorney Woods nolled the original charge of assault with a dangerous weapon and told the court he has every ! reason to believe that Rice did not intend to shoot anyone on the night of January 2S. when he fired q shot that struck Lucian Domi an, aged IT, of G1 Grove street while | the latter was on the armory grounds, there having been boxing | bouts inside the building. | The Herald stated a week ago that the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon would be modi- 1 fled. This was immediately denied by the authorities but the accusa- tion today was one of simple as- sault.
 Boys had been annoying Rice and he determined to frighten them away by firing a shot from a revolver. The bullet struck the brick wall of the building and on the rebound. entered Domijan's leg at the thigh, the prosecuting attorney said. The facts did not indicate that the assault was de- | liberate and MT. Rice was not the ! kind of man who would shoot a person, Woods said. He has a good record and has never been in trouble before.
 | On the ether hand. Mir. Woods said. the incident cannot be allow l cd to pass unnoticed. Rice should be punished. he said. and he rec commended the $50 fine.
 Attorney H. NJ. Ginsburg. repre- senting Rice, said the facts were as stated by the prosecuting at torney. The shooting was the cul- imitation of a series of petty az gravations by boys. and Rice, who feels the responsibility of his po- sition as custodian of the armory building and the explosives stored there, lost control of his judgment and fired shot to scare the youths. He did not mean to shoot anyone and he regrets the happen ing most keenly, his lawyer said The recommendation of the state was acceptable to the defense, At torney Ginsburg said.
 Before imposing the fine Judge Hungerford asked the reputation of Rice and Attorney Ginsburg said it is good.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods said he has no knowledge of any other offense ever committed by Rice and so far as he has been able to learn, his reputation is good.

 If Britain is SO overwhelmingly anxious to avoid paying her just debts in money, let her pay in pro- perty. For instance. there are the Bermuda islands and certain other lands on this hemisphere Let her hand them over and we no doubt would be willing to subtract a fancy amount from the war debts.
