Doyle have been in the Reform School before but
had evidently not been reformed; that the trustees
declined to receive Doyle back upon the old com
mitment and he being over Is years of age he
could not be sent there upon this Indictment He
therefore sentenced Doyle to eleven months in Jail
for assault and eleven months for riot Chambers

Reform School to remain during his minority, or
until August %, 1885, As to the other two boys
DeWoh and Hoadley, the Judge said that owing to
their youth, the fact that this was their first Of
fence, and the promises of the boys to not violate
the law in the future, he had decided to continue
their cases for sentence; but that il any complaint
hereafter made against them for violation of the
criminal law they would be sentenced upon this
indictment.
