PRINCIPAL ACQUITTED OF ASSAULT CHARGE Woman Did Not Exceed Authority in Chastising Girl, Rockville Judge Holds. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., January 19.—Miss Emma French, principal of the Fairland High School. was acquitted here today of a charge of using unwarranted geverity in punishing Lelita Lehman, 11-year-old pupil of her school. Judge Samuel Riggs, before whom the case was heard, held that while the whipping Miss French is alleged to have given the girl might have been severe, it was necessary to maintain discipline and that Miss French did not exceed the authority given her by the State. Miss French was tried on a warrant charging assault, the outgrowth of an incident on January 10. The evidence showed that the Lehman girl had vio- lated a rule of the school and was sent to the principal, Miss French, for disciplining. Witnesses testified that the child was impudent when questioned by Miss French and that in consequencc the principal kept her after school and edministered the whipping. ir Stomach #inute Relief! our risings and the un. lition after too hearty a meal me for good, in a couple of The magnesia, calcium car- d other soothing things in t ablets start to work the moment swallowed!
