He ts the young- eet violator of the Sullivan law that the police have so far on their records, It was on last Wednesday that Damato was told that he would not be promoted and on the following day he appeared in the echool yard at recess with a 33-calibre revolver, fully loaded, which he displayed rather effectively to the boys who had made fun of him for his failure to pase his examination. “Never you mind, I'll get even,” he told them, so they say, and drawing out the revolver added: “I'm going to put the teacher out of the way for thie." Damato's teacher is Misa Kirby, and when told of the threat the boy had mude she went to Miss Carpendale, tho principal, who called Damato from the room and found the revolver in his foenet, At that time he denied moking any threats against Miss Kirby, eo Miss Carpendale returned the revolver to him and told him to put it back where he got it. But then it dawned on her that he ought not to be trusted with the weapon and he was directed on Friday to get the revolver again and come to school with it. This time Chief District Inspector Dwyer took the pistol, now unloaded, away from him and began an inveati- gaticn.
