NotesThe boy's name in this article is given as Roger Pierce. This was an article printed on June 19, 1888 in the Athen's area. We believe that the reporter noted Roger's name wrong and this is really Roger Price from Quarriers.

overflowing on Wednesday evening last, to hear a case which excited considerable interest in the village. A complaint had been laid before Geo. P. Wight, J. P. against Charles P Wiltse for unlawful assault upon an orphan named Roger Pierce, whom Wiltse had taken from the "Home" a few months ago. B. Loverin, J.P. was associated with Mr. Wight on the bench and when the case was called the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge. Thos. Compo was the first witness called. He deposed that he lived across the road from Wiltse's. Saw Wiltse whip the boy. Deft. wife came out of the house accused the boy of sucking eggs. The boy denied the charge, when Mrs. Wiltse went to the barn, where her husband was and they came back together. The boy again denied sucking the eggs, when Wiltse began beating him with a short whip. The boy was down on the ground part of the time. Witness called to Wiltse to stop, as he considered he was using the whip unmercifully. The boy would have been beaten more but for Mrs. Wiltse, who stepping in and interfered. Cross ex by Deft- Did not feel any enmity against deft. Did not know of the boy being whipped before. Witness wife heard the whipping from behind the house, and thought Wiltse was whipping one of his horses. Considered the beating unmerciful. Edward Davis deposed that he was coming down the road on the night in .......how the boy came to be on the ground. Saw him being struck severely. Mona Brown testified that he saw the whipping. Heard the boy say that if Wiltse whipped him he would stone him. Saw Wiltse strike the boy several times with the lea...., then lash, then the lash came off and he used the stock. Never heard the boy say that he had been whipped before. Had heard him swear several times, had also heard Wiltse swear occasionallly. Cross ex by Deft - Thought the boy stooped over to pick up a stone. Deft had struck him several times before he stooped to get stone. Had never been beaten so hard himself. Did not hear deft say what he whipped the boy for. Had heard him tell the boy not to go with some of his playmates. Saw Mrs. Wiltse come out and protect the boy from further beating. The boy Pierce was called and said that he had been with the deft a few months. Mr. and Mrs Wiltse accused him of sucking eggs and deft threatened to whip him for it. He told Wiltse that if he struck him for something he was not guilty of he would stone him. Deft gave him a hard beating from the effects of which his back was very sore and his arm black. He had given Wiltse sauce on several occasions. He wanted him to go to Sunday School, but he did not like the teacher and refused for awhile to go. Wiltse had no cause for whipping him on this occasion for he told the truth. Chas. P. Wiltse, the deft sworn: Had told the boy on several occasions to do things, and he had refused and given him sauce. He ad been .......Struck.....having a lash a foot long. He had came from the neighbors' with broken eggs in his pockets and on his clothes. The boy was away nearly all the afternoon, when he had been forbidden to go. Did not whip him for sucking eggs, but for being away. When he commenced the beatings the boy picked up a stone to throw at him. Had whipped his own children as hard as he whipped this boy. Mrs. Wiltse deposed that the boy said that if her husband tried to whip him he would stone him. The boy deserved more whipping than he got. He would not mind when told to do chores. Her husband was not a man who whipped hard. Wm Shook Sworn: Did not know anything about this case, but had heard the boy sauce Wiltse and his wife several times. This closed the case, and the decision of the bench was reserved until Saturday evening. Wiltse being ordered in the meantime to take charge of the boy and see that he was properly cared for,until the authorities of the "home" could be communicated with. On Saturday evening the magistrates gave their decision fining the deft $1 and $7.50 costs.
