Weighing "the good Of the
community against the harm
done by Jail sentences" a
Montgomery County judge yes
terday fined three college stu
dents $1,000 each and gave
them one-year suspended jail
sentences for assaulting a

caster.
The youths are Robert Hull,

charged with following WTOP
newscaster Tony Sylvester and
his wife after a traffic argyll
ment September IA and assault
ing him in the yard of his home
at 6435 Dahlonega road, near

When Peoples Court Judge ].

might not suspend the Jail
sentences, Attorney Bernard T.
Welsh, who represented Hull,
said he would like to offer
character witnesses and ap-
pealed for leniency.
The character witnesses, in
Guiding neighbors and teachers,
testified Hull is "a fine boy
in every respect"
II regret the necessity for
interrupting the educations of
the men, but in my view, this
sort of thing has to be
stopped" the judge had said.
IT don't believe they went to
the Sylvester home for the pur-
pose of discussing anything;
they went there to gang up on
him and they must be pun
ished for it. We can't have
that type of thing going on in
Montgomery County"
"Old Enough"
He commented that he did
not refer to them as teen
ayers, because they were old
enough to have some sense Of
responsibility"
He found Ruth guilty only of
assault and the other two
guilty Of assault and battery.
The addition of battery" I'M
der Maryland law involves a
charge of physically touching
the victim, it was explained by
