DISAPPOINTED STUDENTS.
OYER FIFTY WANTED TO SEE BAR
 KARA WALTER, BUTDiDS'T.

They Sat Through n City Court Bar Meet
 ing In Order to See Her-tass Was Tried
 in Chambers After They Had Departed-
 { Barbara is Now in Middistown.
 A crowd of about fifty students wero
 bitterly disappointed yesterday after
 noon at not being allowed to hear tho
 trial of Barbara Walter. the fifteen.
 year-old girl who was arrested several
 nights ago on the campus. Fully half
 hundred of the young gentlemen @
 of Yale assembled at the city court,
 and when the court room was entered at ? o'clock all entered and took seats in the rear of the court room. expecting
 to be reSaled with spicy evidence.
 But in this they were disappointed. for the court room was open only for the purpose of holding bar meeting.
 For over m hour the students sat listen- ing to cases being assigned for trial and the disposition of other business incl. dent to bar meetings, and all the time in their innocent freshness imagining that the case of Barbara Walter would be called next. Finally after the busi- ness of the bar meeting had been dis posed of the court room was cleared and locked mp and the curious students were obliged to leave the building with out having their curiosity satisfied.
 The hearing on the case of Barbara Walter had been set down for 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, but when Assist ant City Attorney Matthewmap saw the crowd of students he decided to post pone the hearing until later in the af- ternoon, so as not 10 satisfy the curios- ity of the students, many of whom were so anxious to'be present at the hearing that when they departed from the court room they said, Well, we'll be here again tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock and remain until the case has been dis posed of"
 But they need not come, for Barbara Walter was taken to the state industrial school at Middietown by Officer J. F. Donnelly at 4:57 o'clock yesterday af- ternOon, where she will remain until she is twenty-one years old. Shortly after } o'clock the girl was brought into court by Agent Preston of the Organ ized Charities. Her father and mo,h,r r were present at the hearing. As all the evidence had been introduced at the hearing Saturday afternoon the ses- sion Vpstnr1av ayaaoIi,,o1xy hy,inf and Judge Cable almost immediately committed her to the industrial school during minority.
 After Judge Cable had rendered his decision MT. Walter gave notice of an appeal, but subsequently withdrew it after he became cognizant of the facts in the case. When he came into the court it was evident that the father was | totally unacquaintcd with the facts of | the case, but subsequently, Agent Pres ton took both the girl and her father into another room and there the girl to her father that she had | been guilty of wrong-doing. It was af- ter this confession that Mr. Walter de- cided not to appeal the case, but to al low the girl to. go to the industrial school in the hope that she may reform.
 When it came time for the girl to de- part with Officer Donnelly she cried bit terly and promised to be a good girl if she was only allowed to remain at home. l She was given some excellent advice by her mother and started for Middletown | on the 4:57 train in company with the officer. |
