An Infant Criminal.

From the San fnncisco Call.
So little a fellow had been indicted by
the United States Grand Jury for SELL
ing unstamped matches, that when
placed before the Judge the boy head did
not appear above the Clerks desk.
Judge Hoffman was so astonished that
he said, ''Mr. Van Duzer, surprising you
convic this child, what are you going to
do with him?"
Assistant United States Attorney Van
Duzer. May it please your Honor, do
not think this the guilty party: | think
this young man has been substituted for
the real offender. His parents give him a
basket of contraband matches, and send
him out to sell.
Judge Hoffman with astonishment) /.
young man, You had better call him an
evergrown infant. Mr. Van Duzer, do
YOU mean to tell me that it required the
united efforts of twenty-three Grand Jur-
ors, at s. day each, to find an indict-
ment against this infant?"
Mr.. Van Duzer. ''He was arrested by
the internal revenue officers for violation
o. tine revenue laws, and it was my duty
to present the case to the Grand Jury, and
for the jury to mdict him if the evidence
warranted them IN doing so.
Judge Hoffman. But if you obtain a
conviction, what are you going to do with
him?"
Mr.. Van Duzsr moved that nolle pros
equi be entered in the case. which the
Court granted, and the reading of indict-
ments against adults was resumed.
