Features of the Case.

Clarence Moscow, the young man who was detained by the police Tuesday morning for hitting Charles Hawley, 14, in the head with a glass insulator and fracturing his skull, at the Hemingray glass works, where the two are employed, was this morning released under bond for $100. Moscow is charged with mere assault and battery and according to those who are acquainted with the case, it is thought that the proper charge had been filed as the act of the young man seems purely involuntary as far as physical injuries to young Hawley is concerned. Moscow claimed that he threw the insulator to frighten the boys who were throwing snow balls at him. When the missile was thrown Hawley was upon the outside of the factory where it was dark and therefore it would have been impossible fro Moscow to have aimed the insulator at any of the parties. He threw it while enraged as the result of being struck by a snow ball. The young man acted perfectly fair with the officers in the case and held back nothing. He told the story which was corroborated by others. As there was no murderous intent shown in the transactions, the charge could not be made any stronger. Young Hawley is getting along nicely and it is now believed by the attending physician that he will recover. Other physicians were called for consultation Tuesday and agreed that unless complications arose the injured lad would recover.

Another new feature of the case has come to light in which Robert Hawley, father of the injured boy, played a leading part. After young Hawley was brought home and examined by the physicians who pronounced the injuries as being probably fatal, it is said that the father was so incensed that he left his home in a great rage to find Moscow. It is said that the intentions of the enraged father were to kill the young man who had probably fatally injured his son. It is said that persuasion was useless and that the father deliberately walked to the Hemingray factory in search of young Moscow. The young man however became apprehensive of the elder Hawley and thought perhaps that he might come to the factory and deal out summary punishment and left his work and went home. The act of Moscow in going home probably save him from meeting with serious trouble at the hands of the father of the injured boy.

Moscow this morning stated that he would return to work. He was warned by friends to be careful as something serious might befall him but the police instructed the young man to attend to his own affairs and to have no words with the father or injured boy.
