Denies Cruelty
Father Jailed for Sending Son to School in Chains.
—A step-father held for padlocking a 10-1/2 foot log chain around the frail body of 10-year ol Robert Feucht insisted today "I have always tried to be good to the boy."
—William Leeth was held in jail whithout charge while county authorities sought a new home for his stepson, who trudged to school yesterday dragging the chain.

Judge Scores Parent; Homes Offered Son
Ohioan Sentenced to Serve 90 Days After Youth Drags Log Chain to School.
—Probate court officials investigated offers of homes for ten-year-old Bobby Feucht from all over the country today while the boy's stepfather, William P. Leeth, 55, began a 90-day jail sentence for padlocking him to the kitchen stove and forcing him to the kitchen stove and forcing him to drag a 15-foot log chain to school.
—Probate Judge Paul R. Capell, scoring Leeth in a lengthy decision, passed the sentence last night and disclosed receipt of numerous additional offers of homes.
Charged With Torture
—Leeth declared when first held last week that he chained the boy because "he ran away." Probate officers placed in charge of "torture and cruel punishment" against Leeth.
—Judge Capell said that investigation had shown the boy to be "incorrigible" and deserving of some punishment, but "not to the extent of placing him in chains, which constitutes cruelty and torture and for which you owe a debt to society in the form of punishment."
—"If you were a person of average intelligence," he told Leeth, "penalty in the maximum would be made, but the report of psychiatrists who have examined you and found you to be subnormal warrants consideration."
Don't Condemn Child
—He asserted parents' insufficiencies frequently were more responsible for children going wrong than the children's own delinquencies and added, "when parents permit conditions to grow and exist and if the child happens to step out of our ideas of right action, we can not condemn the child."
—It was charged that the boy was chained after he went into the kitchen to get a piece of pumpkin pie denied him at dinner.

Notes:

In a letter to Karen Mackey, dated June 3, 1997, Jeff Cady remembers some things about "Mama Ni".
..."I know that Jeannie, Linda, and possibly Joey can remember visiting Grandma Cady but I'm not sure about Alyce. In the letter that I had planned to write I wanted to tell them the things about Grandma Cady that I remember. Such as her small but quaint apartment filled with her rooster collection. The candy dish with the pink lozenges. How she would stay up late to catch the Carson Show. And who can forget her candle shop. When I was younger she would always give me a small strawberry scented candle. Any time I smell spearmint or coffee it brings back fond memories. Before I would stop in at Dad's office, I would go upstairs first and get a cup of coffee for Dad and as I walked along the building you could smell the spearmint growing along the side of it. She would always have a daily planner calendar next to her phone and she would write in it who had visited her that day.
...I used to "have" to take Grandma and Aunt Garnet to Frames grocery store once a week. Being a typical teenager at the time I really didn't want to do it. But after the third or fourth time I looked forward to taking them. I would give almost anything to be able to still be doing it now. I was also her "handyman". I used to mow her lawn (a 10 minute job) and fix just about anything that was broke." (Information provided by Karen Mackey)
