Lafayette Parents Hear Jury Urge 30 Days for Fuss With Teacher.
LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 31 (U. P)—A jury decided last night that parents “must not take unto themselves the right to punish” the teacher who taps a pupil on the head for whispering. Deliberating for more than three hours, 11 men and a middle-aged grandmother found Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Leslie guilty of assault and battery for whipping Constance M. Davis, 33, in front of their 11-year-old son, Danny, and her other fifth grade pupils at Langlois school, The jury recommended each be
fined $200 and sentenced to 30 days imprisonment.
Pupils Are Witnesses
Before: a crowded courtroom, two lawyers summed up the case in which all the principals and most of the children who saw the flogging had appeared as witnesses, Prosecutor Dan Flannagan said the whipping was a blow to the American way of life. “Let us not take unto ourselves the right to punish,” Mr. Flannagan said. “The Ku-Klux Klan did it
It’s the worst thing|
“I got licked in school five or six times a week, but I loved my teacher.”
Rights of Parents Argued
Defense Counsel Francis Murphy, who had argued temporary insanity for Mrs. Leslie and the right of parents to “protect their young” asked the jurors to think of the Ten Commandments and the approaching Easter season. “Do you want to make those children orphans during the Easter season?” he asked. The Leslies have another son, Keith, 13. “What about the Ten Commandments?” he said. “Do you remember the one that said, ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself?’
Insane Theory Rejected
“I'm sure Danny wants to go | back to school and let bygones be bygones. And I'm sure Miss Davis will co-operate.”
The jury's verdict rejected the theory that Mrs. Leslie was temporarily insane when she stormed into the classroom with her husband to give the teacher “some of her own medicine” with a boy scout belt. Miss Davis testified she had tapped Danny lightly on the head with a copy of the “Treasury of Life and Literature, Vol. II” for his unstudious behavior. The boy said the blow was a lusty wallop. Mrs. Leslie's husband, Arthur, who watched the strapping from the doorway and allegedly prevented Miss Davis’ escape, was convicted as an accomplice. Both defendants were freed on $1000 bond. Circuit Judge W. Lynn Parkinson set April 4 for sentencing. Mrs. Leslie took the verdict calmly, but expressed alarm for her husband. “When they put him in jail, it means his death,” she said. “He's under a doctor's care and I'm the only one who knows how to administer his medicine.”
Third Wing Adds | Cruising Radius
By Science Service | WASHINGTON, March 31.—An | extra wing, which enables high= | speed monoplane fighters and bombers to cruise as biplanes at economical low speeds over a wide radius, and which can be cast aside in midair to permit the craft to go into action at full | speed, is the invention on which a U. S. patent has just been awarded to Vadim S. Makaroff of New York. The wing and its supporting strut or struts is made as a single, self-contained unit. The strut is locked firmly in a socket in the fuselage, much as a mast is stepped in a boat, but the locking device can be released in an instant by the pilot, permit ting the wing to be lifted off and carried away by the air current. | Since it is intended to be jetti- | soned after it has served its purpose, the auxiliary wing should be built of light, inexpensive materials, the inventor suggests. In addition to giving the necessary lift for economical low-speed flight, the extra wing contains a gas tank. Fuel from this is of course used first, so that it is | empty when the wing is per- | . mitted to go overboard.
