COURT DEFENDS HIS OWN ACTION ——— History of Princeton Youth Traced by Letter To Governor Princeton, July 22. —(U.R)—A letIter detailing the case of John Too]ley, 13. sentenced by Judge Claude Smith to eight years in the Indiana Boys' School, was to be sent to Governor Harry G. Leslie today by Judge Smith. Copies of the letter were sent William Waterfield, Fort Wayn . and other persons who have addressed messages to Judge Smith criticizing him for first ordering the youth to leave the county, then sentencing him to the school. Statements approving the court's action signed by Alfred Tooley, the boy's father; Mrs. Dorothy Tooley, his step-mother; Mrs. Marshall Stone, matron of the Gibson county orphans’ home, and Roy Burton, chief of police, were to be sent witli tlie letter. The judge’s letter will trace the boy's history from the time his mother died when he was two years old, until his latest appearance in court, charged with stealing a cleaver and tongs. It will show that he spent several years in three institutions and had a local police record. Judge Smith said he believed John should be sent to the school for feeble-minded in Fort Wayne, bdt that the institution had refused to take any more patients from Gibson county "until the quota is reduced." Judge Smith said he took considerable pride in his record in assisting delinquent children. He denied that he had sentenced John because he was slow in leaving the county when ordered, adding that the sentence was given when the boy's father came to the judge and said: "I don't believe it’s any use to try to do anymore with John.” RUM RUNNERS ARE FIRED ON ICONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Hyacinth's Catholic church watched the chase in which three American boats sought to trap a steelarmored rummer’s speedboat near Peche Island as it zig-zagged through river traffic with a load of 200 cases of liquor and finally I drew under the lee of the Ste. Claire for momentary protection. Hundreds of women and children crowded to the rail of the boat watching the chase as the boats careened madly in sharp turns and flying spray. Suddenly the customs men. witnesses said, opened fire with pistols. "The first shot struck me," Gajeski said, “and I didn’t see the rest of the battle.” One of the patrol boats had p/lied up to within 100 feet of its quarry when the firing was resumed. Then panic started aboard the steamer and officers had difficulty preserving order as women and children filed screaming into comI panionwayß seeking shelter. Tlie runner again changed his course and dodged into Canadian waters around a point of Peche Island and escaped. Excursionists said they had seen no weapos aooard the rummer, but Assistant Collector of Customs Walter S. Petty today declined to admit customs men had shot Gajeski. Petty later said the boat which was patrol boat No. 520, but he refused to name the crew. He said the inspectors, however, denied shooting when they neared the excursion steamer and asserted the rummers fired at them. ' At receiving hospital physicians and detectives of the homicide squad said the nature of Gajeaki's wound indicated the bullet ricocheted from the water or the hull of the boat. Police said any action taken would have to he by federal authorities. ~o— Leave* on Apple Tree The New York State College of Agriculture says that It is estimated that a full-grown apple tree has about 50 004) lemws.
