Ann Arbor Police are investigating the reported beating of a I White Slauson Junior High School student by a group of blacks yesterday. Officers said Mark Caswell, 13, received scratches and bruises. The teen-ager also was injured some weeks ago when a group of youths attacked him. Yesterday's attackers were identified as Forsythe Junior High School students who were attending a basketball game at Slauson, pólice said. Two of the Forsythe students have been suspended and four others are under investigation by school authorities. Although pólice say their information indicates Caswell was the lone victim of the attack, John Hubley, spokesman for the Ann Arbor Public Schools, says three white Slauson students were attacked by four to six black youths. The fight occurred about a block from the school.
