REFORM ScHooL--Samuel Simpson, the small
colored boy who informed Judge Miller yester
day that he escaped from the reform schoo
some weeks ago, told an untruth, as the judg,
learned when the officers were telephoned L
come for him. The judge sent for the boy an,
again questioned him. The youthful prisone
weakened and told the Judge that anothe
larger boy told him to tell the story. Tn,
conversation was had while both boys wer,
confined in the cell. Sam told his crimina
companion that he did not want TO 20 to tn,
workhouse and asked for advice. The DO,
knew that there was room in the reform
school, but he knew that an escaped prisonel
would be returned, and for that reason he mad
up the story. The sentence was changed I,
three months on the farm.
