AGAINST BOY

PAINTSvILLE, KY, May 20
Q.N.S.)-The next move in the case
OF Carl Newton Mahan, six'ycar.old
shotgun slayer Of his eight-year-old
playmate Cecil Vanhoose. today
rested with the prosecution.
When Circuit Judge J. F. Bailey
issued a writ of prohibition restrain
ing the execution of a ls.year sen.
tence against the boy to the State
Reform School. County Judge John
w. Butcher expressed his intention
Of taking the case to the Court Of
Appeals.
Since that time, however, Judge
Butcher apparently has been. in
active. At least no statement OF
his plans or OF. the intentions Of
the prosecuting counsel was forth
coming. The prosecution has about
so days in which to appeal the
case.
B. w. Hubbard, superintendent
Of the State Reform School, de-
clared he did not believe the boy
would be admitted to the institution
because OF his extreme youth.
IF he is sent here Hubbard
said, ''he viii be treated al a scnool
boy and not as a convicted MUIR
derer. We have seven, elementary
grades, and within few years will
have high school courses. II he
comes here he will be placed in the
first grade and be afforded an op-
