While 12-year-old unwed Betty
June LAGER planned to knit gar
ments for her newborn son, the
father of 13-year-old Tommy Chap
man today offered the child
mothers family a $50 cash pay
ment in full" settlement.
The offer was quickly rejected
by the Ben LAGER family who
reiterated the boy and girl love
each other and that a wedding
ring-not cash-was the only Solu-
ton of the social problem which
has caused a furore in Green
county.
The offer came shortly after
Mrs. Fred Chapman, Tommy's
mother, declared that Tommy
doesn't want to marry Betty June
and we have no intention of allow
ing him to do So"
Judge Raymond j. Powell, be-
fore whom Tommy's case rests,
disclosed that the law compels
him to fix a sum for settlement
of such cases. Usually it is $500,
he said. This amount would be
paid to Betty June for the baby's
support.
He said:
ct have instructed the two
families to work out a settle
ment, and if it is reasonable to
both sides, I will be inclined to
approve it. If not, the court
will be compelled to decide on
the amount"
