Kiddie With a Mighty Punch.
When he was startled from sleep and found a big burglar beating his mother, Isidore Weinstein, six years old, of Cleveland, Ohio, drew back a bare foot and drove it hard into the robber’s face. The robber apparently believing that he had been struck by a man’s fist, took to his heels.
Mrs. Edith Weinstein and her son live alone in rooms adjoining her candy store. She was awakened long after midnight by a man’s hands at her throat. The burglar had entered by forcing a bedroom window. Mrs. Weinstein screamed. Then the burglar beat her with his fist until she was nearly unconscious.
Isidore’s bare foot saved the day. Mrs. Weinstein is sure the burglar mistook Isidore’s kick for the blow of a man’s fist. If he had known her protector was only a six-year-old boy, there would have been a different story, she is confident.
