Judge Stack, presiding in Mecklen- burg County Superior Cour here. de- |livered his views in sentencing Benny Mack, boxer, to serve 20 to 23 |in prison for killing W. R. Moore, scape architect, after a quarrel over a dog. Excerpts from his arraignment were: “A boxer like Benny Mack has his instincts developed for pugnacity. Men get in the ring and pummel each other. That destroys a man's idea of things. “There is not a boxing match that doesn’t diminish respect for the law The moving pictures are doing the same ihing. Down in my home town the other day some small boys dressed a* cowboys and robbed a store. The movie suggested that to them. “There was no necessity to kill thi man over an old dog.
