CUMBERLAND, Md., March 13.— Following his arrest on a charge of flogging Alberta Hay, a 14-year-old pupll, who later dled of pneumonia, Clarence Carver, 25 years old, a teacher here, denled yesterday that a rubber hose was resporsible for the marks found by an autopsy on the girl's back. “She entered school about months after the term began,” he sald. “In the schoolroom she refused to talk. Although 14 years of age, she took her place in the third grade. On the playgrounds she would talk with other children, but during school hours she remalned speech- two less. Perplexed by what I consid- ered a stubborm disposition on the part of the girl, I detained her after school and tried every method to get her to talk. “Finally, the paddle method was resgrted to, with the re- sult that the gfrl talked quite satis- factorily. The day following the whipping the girl remained away from school, but returned the second day. She refused to speak as previ- ously until a yardstick was brought into evidence, ‘when she spoke quite well." DEBATE CHILD LABOR.
