Sailor (Ctptlnaed (ran P age I) didn't go after him, "but my boy came out and he chased him." About an hour aad a half attar the police had baan notified, ha ??id an officer brought the aailor back to Ike house and Mr*. Broad hurst identified St. Cyr ax the man. Officer Springle took the stand aad said he got a message over the radio. Goipg by the description of the boy given to him, he said he saw a boy about six or sevea blocks i away gettiag a soft drink out of a vending machine. He talked to the sailor a while I and then asked him to get in the patrol car. He said the lad was quiet, that he had been drinking and was "sort of rum dumb," he explained Upon further question ing by Mr. Wheatly. Officer Sprin gle added. "He just didn't seem to 1 be all there." St. Cyr, dressed in neat blues, standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall, was called to the stand. His face could be called doll-like ? large brown eyes, regular features, a handsome lad. He told the court that he had been in the Navy 28 months and that he became 20 years of age Aug. 13 of this year. For the past 64 days, he said, he had been in the county Jail. His $.1,000 bond for release could not be raised. He gave his rating as a seaman first class. His home, he said, was in Massachusetts. On further ques tioning by Mr. Wheatly, St. Cyr said that he had been picked up by police only once before. That was ' in New York City on a charge of drunkenness. He said he spent one 1 night in jail but was released the 1 next morning without being called ' into court or fined. Went to Beach Then St. Cyr was asked to tell what he knew about the events on the night the Broadhurst home was entered. He said he left his ship, the Navarro, which was a Navy j transport docked at Morehead City, i and went over to Atlantic Beach and was drinking beer. < He said he hadn't had liberty for i three or four weeks and that the night of Sept. IB was the second i time he'd been on liberty in More head City. He said he was with i another buddy at the beach and < when they left there they got a lift i across the bridge and then started i walking east or Evans Street.

The Broadhurst house attracted him, he said, because Uw lights were oa. He said he went arouad the hack tf the kouse and weat ft the back door and aaw '*% proman" lying on a couch at he went in. lie ssM ha doesn't remember "touching het." Mr. Whaatly con tended that St. Cyr probably en tered the house looking for some Dae to talk to and his approach to Mrs. Broadhurst waa more on a friendly basis than an aaaault. Witness Embarrassed As Mr. Wheatly pursued ques tioning on the point of how St. Cyr "touched" Mrs. Broadhurst. the lad Hushed and obviously showed em barrassment in ansae ring the ques tions. He said he jffesaed what he did "was like she said." Under further questioning, St. Cyr said his father died in 1949 and that he had left high school in 1952. He added that he has a younger brother. 10, and that be is the sole support of his mother. He added that he didn't know where he went when he left the Broad hurst house. Mrs. St. Cyr, a good looking woman who appeared to be in her thirties, waa seated during the course of the trial beside her son. Smartly dressed in a beige and brown ensemble, her long dark hair was neatly dressed ehignon style. She took the stand and speaking with a slight French accent, said their home was In Lynchburg. Mass. She said that she regularly received an allotment Irom her ion. When asked to describe her son. she said, "He's always been a good boy. I've always been prohd of him" and with that she started to cry. Obviously struggling to compose herself, she answered Mr. Wheat* ly who asked about her son's in terest in girls. "He's always had girlfriends off and on," she said, and added that she knew he drank but was not aware that he appar ently drank "as much as he does." She said that their home has al ways been in Lynchburg but they are of French-Canadian stock. Mrs. Broadhurst was then recall ed to the stand and upon insistent ent questioning by Mr. Wheatly as to details of the attack, she replied that she couldn't "show" Mr. Wheatly how it happened and ask ed. "That really isn't necessary, is It?" and the lawyer agreed that it wasn't. During this questioning, Mrs. St. Cyr sobbed uncontrollably. Her son twisted nervously in his chair, ipoke a few words to her, but was unable, evidently, to provide any effective comfort. Lawyer Sums Up Mr. Wheatly, in summing up the case, called Judge W. H. S. Bur gwyn's attention to the rfailor's fine record and commended Mrs. Broadhurst for her charitable feel ing toward the boy. Looking at the lad, Mr. Wheatly said, "Frankly, I don't see how anybody could sell this boy beer or whisky." The solicitor said that the public had to be protected against "things like this." The judge, before passing sen tence, mentioned that St. Cyr could be on trial for his life. "I'd like to be kind to him and relieve this mother of her sorrow, but I can't do it."

"There's no minimum set by law." St. Cyr stood as the judge passed sentence and the trial was over. Tentative plans called for commit ting him to state prison Friday.
