The jury, after hearing the evidence and the arguments of the attorneys retained in the case, retired to the ante-room of the city council cham­ bers, where the case was tried, at about 4 o'clock, and brought in a ver­ dict in less than fifteen .minutes.

We serve ice cream the year round. a ustL tion was substantially the same. More than fifteen pupils were called as witnesses and all testified that they had seen Mr. Dean rise from his seat in the front of the assembly room, walk to the class room at the rear and grasping Gordon Matthews by the col­ lar, march him down the aisle and out of the room to the superintendent's office. On the way some words were exchanged between Supt. Dean and young Matthews and Supt. Dean slapped the boy. All of the witnesses testified that the superintehdent slapped young Matthews with his open hand, but a difference of opinion de­ veloped as to how many times the boy was hit. About half of the school chil­ dren examined stated that the super­ intendent slapped the boy once and the other half thought he hit him twice. Some of the pupils thought Supt. Dean was angry when he struck young Matthews and others. testified that he was simply stern. During the trial Attorney Shurtleff attempted to bring in evidence to show that Gordon Matthews had been un­ ruly in school for the past few years and had practically broken up a coun­ try school about two years ago, caus­ ing the teacher to resign. Justice Bryant, upon the objection of Attor­ ney Joslyn, ruled that stftch evidence was irrelevant to the case. | Supt. Dean took the stand and tes tified about as follows: "For some time the teachers had been having trouble with this particular class in which Gordon Matthews was a pupil. On Oct. 14 I had the class changed to the cls^sfi room at the rear of the assembly room and between which there is a glass partition thru which I could ohserve the action of the pupils, I took charge of the assem­ bly room that morning and after the class had been in session a short time saw Gordon Matthews slouch down in his seat, pull the row of seats in front of him towards him with his feet and rest his head on the seat back of him, waving it from side to side. I walked to the class room, took Gordon by the collar and marched him in front of me thru the assembly room towards my office. When about half way tiirq the assembly room I asked Gordon if he had anything to say for himself, fcut when he turned toward me and answered ip,e -I did not understand what; he s^id- I slapped Gordon twice, on^ce on the cheek below ^he ^ar aj\d the other on the neck.

I later wrote to Gordon's parents, told them that he had been suspended, but that he ceuld come back at any trtne that they would assure me of. his future good^unduct.

At the close of the taking of tes­ timony of the witnesses Attorney Shurtleff argued the case before the jury in behalf of the defendant, and Attorney Joslyn in behalf of the plaintiff Shurtleff based his case on the fact that the Crystal Lake school board authorized corporal punishment, that Mr. Dean's punishment of Gor­ don Matthews was not brutal or se­ vere, and that if the jury brought in verdict of guilty, no matter how small a fine might be assessed, it would disrupt and ruin the dicipline of the entire school. Be also read supreme court decisions In which cor­ poral punishment had been upheld, and quot&d the common law, which ve&t* ft* a school teacher the same right to punish a child as that held by parents. Attorney Joslyn cited the teet that many of the foremost schools of the country have abolished corporal pun­ ishment, and in its place have sub­ stituted kind treatment and endeavor to keep tfce children interested in their we*k without the use of the rcni, Since the trial Supt.
