Municipal Court This Morning.
Charles Harper aged IA years, who is a
terror to the police of the western part of
the city, was prisoner in municipal court
on Friday, the complainant being the
mother OF one of the lads who is a COIN
panion of the youthful culpnt. The
woman charged the boy with disorderly
conduct and general misbehavior, but
during the trial it TRANSFERRED that the boy
had given the police more trouble than
any Juvenile offender i'll recent years and
that they had begun to regard him as the
boy desperate of the neighburhood.
Asked to give an explanation OF his
method of subsisting, the boy said he
picked iron and bones for living. When
Ashton r. Tatnall testified that he had
lost about 100 jute bags during the past
few weeks and that he had attributed their
disappearance to boys, Harper denied that
| he had stolen the bags on more than three
occasions, one of them being u day or sc
ago when Mr.. Tatnall saw him taking the
bags and gave chase.
Thomas McCray, a lad who was called
| to testify in the case, said he neither at
| tended the public schools nor went to Sun
day-schdol. He admitted to getting drunk
although he was only II years old, ane
said that Harper also got .'beastly para
lived" He said that Mrs. Rodgers, No
l222 Maryland avenue, gave the boys th
liquor.
Judge Ball said he would commit Harpe
to the Ferris Industrial School. McCray
