Judge Takes Boy's Suit Under Study
District Judge L R Carson heard a $20 000 damage suit against Sheriff William J Welsh and Brooklyn School Superintendent Herbert Haas claiming civil liberties violations of a first grade pupil. The case details the boy Carl Kilmer 6 and his father Harry Kilmer 34 alleging wrongful arrest and harassment over fence cutting rumors linked to the National Farmers Organization. Testimony showed Haas questioned the boy after Welsh learned of the alleged fence cutting and Kilmer’s prior agreement to a lie detector test. Haas said no manhandling occurred and the questioning lasted under ten minutes. Carl Kilmer’s distress and crying at school were noted by his teacher Jessie Lindsay.
