The doors at the county jail at
Sunbury were thrown open the day
before Christmas for little JOHNNY
Ford, the l2-year-old boy who shot
his father while defending his mother
against her husband. The boy owes
his freedom to the account of the af
fair published in the papers of the
state. Through this medium the
story came to the notice Of one of
Readings foremost lawyers and men
of wealth, the Hon. j. Howard
Jacobs, and so interested that gentle.
man that he at once made thorough
inquiry into the case. Shortly after
Johnny was landed in jail here, his
mother received letter from Mr..
Jacobs, in which he stated that he
read the account of the shooting and
asking for information concerning
the affair. Mrs. Ford thinking the
letter written merely to satisfy idle
curiosity, paid no heed to it. Mr..
Jacobs, nevertheless, made inquiry
from the neighbors of. the Fords.
and in every case the reply was that
Mrs. Ford WAS a good wife and
mother, and that Johnny was an ex>
emplary boy. His Sunday school
teacher spoke of him in the highest
of terms, as also did his employers.
The result was that Mr.. Jacobs
wrote Mrs. Ford another letter in
forming her that he would meet her
on Tuesday, and come with her to
Sunbury, where he would not only
take charge of her sons case, but
would become his bondsman, even ii
it required $4,000. Mr.. Jacobs
and Mrs. Ford arrived at Sunbury,
Tuesday evening and paid the boy
a visit. The venerable old lawyer
at once became very much attached
to the boy, and soon treated him as
if he were his own son. The Pro-
was next called upon and
by Mr.. Jacobs that he
stood ready to become bondsman
for Johnny Ford in the required sum
Of $4,000.
1t was very easy matter for Mr..
Jacobs to find friends who would
satisfy the Prothonotary that his
