Kentucky Fight Over Sentence Of Wee Boy
In Paintsville Kentucky the fight to save six year old Garh Newton Mahan who killed his playmate in a quarrel continues. A writ of prohibition to halt the sentence will be heard by District Judge W F Bailey tomorrow. Defense lawyers also filed a motion for a new trial before County Judge John W Butcher who sentenced the boy to serve in a reformatory until he is eight. The motion argues incompetence of evidence and lack of jurisdiction due to the defendant's age. Judge Butcher will act after Judge Bailey rules on the prohibition writ.
