Three boys, two from Shaver- town and one from Dallas borough, were cleared by the polygraph of charges of aggravated assault brought by Dallas Township police for the incident, and Yanchick, 15, was cleared on his story to police that the lavatory, in which he was grabbed from behind, held, and hit by several boys, was too dark for him to identify his attackers. An element of the bizarre enter- ed into the case, since the incident; which was of considerably more im- portance to the rest of the world than to the boys involved, led to the declaration of two, one of whom was Yanchick, as delinquent by the Court. Incident involved a short fist fight earlier in the month and the use of a family car, after one of the boys lent his friend the key | to the car for him to sit in it, and the transgressor drove the car around the parking lot. The court found them delinquent for car tampering.
