william H. Geragfty Of Mercer
county has begun an investigation
into the death of 9.year.old Herbert
N. Kaplan, son of Trenton at
torney and a fourth-grade pupil in
the Girard Avenue Public School.
The boy died Of spinal meningitis,
brought on by pneumonia, accord
ing to the four physicians who at
tended him, but his father. Joseph
Kapan. insists death was caused by
a beating his son received nearly
three weeks ago from Schoolmates.
When his teacher, Miss Elizabeth
Darcy. left the room she appointed
the boy monitor. with instructions
to write on the blackboard the
names of pupils who misbehaved in
her absence. When she returned
there were half q dozen names on
the board
That day. the father declares,
Herbert was beaten and kicked on
his way home and the next day he
was struck on the head with a
stone. Coincidentally, he was
stricken with pneumonia. Seized
later with meningitis, the boy
moaned in his delirium:
"They did it! They did 1.-THE
gang! They're going to get me!
They're under the bedr'
DIR. Barney Lavine, family physi-
clan, called in DR.. Horace d. BELLS,
DIR. J. Wellington Crane and DIR.
e. L. Shaffer. DR.. Crane said he
did not believe the boys death was
caused by his schoolmates' attack.
Mr.. Kaplan has taken the case to
Prosecutor Geraghty who has as
signed County Detective Joseph e.
Stevenson to investigate.
