JUDGE STACK'S
LAY SERMON
Pays His Respects To Prize
Fighters, Movies and Dog
Owners—Holding Court In
Charlotte.
Charlotte, Feb. 27.—Prize
fights in general and Jack
Dempsey, in particular, wild
West motives and men who
* keep dogs are public menaces in
the judicial opinion of Judg-:
a A. M. Stack.
Judge Stack, presiding ir
Mecklenburg Superior Court
here, delivered his phillipic ir
sentencing Benny Mack, boxer
to serve from 20 to 25 years ir
State's Prison for killing YV. R
Moore, landscape architect, ir
an argument over a bull dog.
A few excerpts from th(
judge's speech:
"A boxer like Benny Mael
has his instincts developed foi
pugnacity. Men get in the rim
and pummel each other. Tha
destroys a man's ideas o
things."
"I'd like to see Jack Demp
sey in jail. He has done mori
to corrupt the boys and men o
this country than any one
know of."
♦ "There is not a boxing mate I
that doesn't diminish respec
for the law. The moving pic
tures are doing the same thin«
> v Down in my home town th
fJk other day some small boy
dressed as cowboys and robbei
a store. The movies suggestei
that to them."
"There was no necessity t
kill this man over an old dot
I think it ought to be a trim
for a man to keep a dog."
The "lay sermon," as Hi
Honor described the delivei
ance, was precipitated durin
the testimony of Dr. W. P
Wish art. Charlotte physicia
and boxing commissioner wh
rose in defense ol' the sport i
answer to a question of th
