ASSAULT AGAINST YOUTH DRAWS 0-DAY SENTENGE Pete McGarvey, who, on Wednesday, assaulted an 18-year-old youth, his in- ferior in strength and size, while the latter was on his way to the hospital to have injuries dressed, found a ninety- day jail sentence awaiting him in jus- tice court Friday afternoon, He, ac- cording to the present custom, appealed his case to the district court, but on in+ ability to supply the $2,000 bond re- quired, was kept in the city jail. McGarvey did not like the testimony given by the young boy, who weighs only about 135 pounds, in the recent gambling case ,according to city offi- clals. Consequently, when he saw him going in search of a physician to have his injurles dressed, he knocked him down and kicked him. McGarvey only weighs 210 pounds. McGarvey was talking with Roy Wil- liams, manager of the Oil Center Club, wher. the boy, Robert Graham, came along and exchanged “compliments” with McGarvey, which resulted in the assault. William tried to pull McGar- vey off and prevent injury to the boy, according to witnesses. “The insinuation that I encouraged the assault is entirely false," said Wil- “I do not approve of stich things and did all I could to prevent it. It was a cowardly act und McGarvey got exactly what was coming to him.” It is said that Graham waa a “stool pigeon” for the police and was “tipping off” gambling operations. Yesterday in police court McGarvey still retained his combative spirit. He | wanted ‘to “lick” Special Agent Roberts of the Burlington, who was testifying against lim. But he did not.
