Claude Palmateer, the 8-year-old Gloversville boy who has caused considerable notoriety* to befall him on account of his recent actions was taken into custody by Truant Offlcer Schermerhorn yesterday charged with violating the compulsory education law. He was taken before the recorder and after a consultation with his mother it was decided to place the boy in some institution where he will have a chance to reform. He was sentenced to two years in the Westchester county home for boys at White Plains, N. Y., and was taken to that place this afternoon.
Young Palmateer is the boy who borrowed rigs from church sheds on different occasions and at one time after being detained over night at police headquarters in Johnstown went home with one of the officer's badges and whistle. The fire department has been called out twice by false alarms, which were charged to young Palmateer, but in court the boy denied having anything to do with this.
Palmateer has had a great habit of wandering about the nearby country. He was in Northville last night and returned to Gloversvllle this morning. The boy seems incorrigible, as he has been talked to, cautioned and warned, and strenuous methods have been used to persuade him to be good, but he seems to possess a disposition to do otherwise, and it was decided best to place him for a while where he would have a chance to reform.- Newspaper Article (The Morning Herald, Gloversville and Johnstown, NY, Tuesday, December 23, 1947)
